sonic toothbrush

Buzzing dental tool

A sonic toothbrush is an electric toothbrush that cleans teeth through rapid vibration rather than rotating bristles.

The bristle head moves at high frequencies—typically tens of thousands of strokes per minute—creating fluid dynamics that help dislodge plaque beyond where the bristles directly touch: My dentist recommended switching to a sonic toothbrush.
