Rota Dent Electric Toothbrush
A healthy smile is always a pleasure to observe. Cleaning your teeth diligently will protect your teeth and protect you from diseases. Brush your teeth after every meal, and floss once a day. For the best results, instead of using a manual toothbrush, use an electric toothbrush. The Rota-Dent electric toothbrush is one of the best electric toothbrushes you can buy because it reaches underneath the gum line and in between the teeth more effectively than other brushes.

Identification
-
The Rota-Dent electric toothbrush is a "patented microfilament brush" that has finer bristles than a manual toothbrush. The bristles are soft and thin enough to reach deep under the gum line where pockets form and bacteria gathers, causing plaque buildup and gingivitis. It operates on a rotary motion, whereas some electric toothbrushes work on a back-and-forth motion.
Features
-
The Rota-Dent electric toothbrush comes with two brush heads for the large surface area of the teeth, one short-tip brush head for braces and cleaning between the teeth, a handle unit, the charger, the stand and Rota-Point cleaners. Rota-Point cleaners are similar to toothpicks. They are cleaning devices that work in between the teeth like dental floss.

Benefits
-
Pro-Dentec, the company that manufacturers the Rota-Dent, warrants the toothbrush for 1 year from purchase and 3 months for the brush heads. The company recommends that you replace the brush head every 3 to 6 months.
When the Rota-Dent is fully charged, it will last up to 2 weeks of normal use. Recharging takes 8 to 12 hours.
Considerations
-
Two other well-known companies sell rotary electric toothbrushes. They are Braun Oral B and Interplak. Both claim to reach under the gum line and between the teeth to control plaque buildup. The Braun Oral B has a pulsating motion. The Interplak brush heads rotate opposite each other. The Rota-Dent's rotary head has "90,000 filament sweeps per second."
Significance
-
The Rota-Dent is available in four colors: black, white, pink and blue. Prices range from $100 to $115. Some online companies sell the Rota-Dent for discount prices. Dentist.net sells all four colors, replacement brush heads, replacement charger and the Rota-Points.
