Rota-Dent Plaque Removal

Healthy teeth can be maintained with professional power toothbrushes.

Rota-Dent is a power toothbrush used by many dentists to combat dental issues, such as cavities and gum disease, says Dr. Stephen Doan, a dentist who practices in San Diego, Calif. Compared with manual toothbrushes, power tooth brushes remove plaque easier.

Benefits

Rota-Dent utilizes a circular brush movement, capitalizing on the oscillating and fluctuating movement to remove plaque, states Inside Dentistry. Along with this cleaning capability, comes less chafing of the tooth enamel for a bright smile.

Function

The shape of the tip of a Rota-Dent power toothbrush allows penetration between teeth, where a majority of cavities are developed. Manual brushing, and even flossing, tend to miss key areas on the teeth and gum line where dental disease flourishes. Daily use of a Rota-Dent can improve dental health.

Potential

The bacteria within plaque are the culprits in most dental diseases, Doan says. Using Rota-Dent on a daily basis can curb these issues and save on dental expenses.
