Phillips Sonicare

Dr Amo featured in a Dentistry.co.uk article, explaining why he advocates the Sonicare electric toothbrush to not only improve oral health, but also treatment outcomes.

“I was recently sent a Sonicare Diamondclean Smart toothbrush 9100 and I could not wait to try it.

People who know me would say how much of a ‘techy’ I am. So having sonic technology in my own bathroom totally fitted my style.

The brush is linked to an app to guide the user on how to brush properly and I was keen to give it a go. Interestingly enough, despite thinking I was the perfect brusher (I am a dentist after all!) the app was telling me otherwise. Too much pressure here and not the right angle there. It made me smile, but there was a lesson there to take.

That made me reflect on my patients. Who likes to be lectured? Nobody.

There has to be a high number of patients who delay visits to dentists/hygienists because they know they are not looking after their teeth. They fear that they might be told off or made to feel embarrassed. It does not have to be like this.”
