What is Rota-dent?
|
|
Rota-dent is a professional, clinically proven plaque removal instrument for use
in your homecare only through dental professionals with clinical instruction.
|
| |
|
What is plaque?
|
|
Plaque is a thick, sticky material consisting of bacteria and other matter that is
continually forming on your teeth. Plaque is the primary cause of periodontal
(gum) disease and tooth decay. Plaque should be removed daily.
|
| |
|
Is Rota-dent better than conventional toothbrush?
|
|
University studies have demonstrated the superiority of Rota-dent in removing
plaque from teeth and along the gumline. It is designed like professional hygiene
equipment used in the dental office and functions in the same manner.
|
| |
|
What about dental floss?
|
|
Dental floss is effective for plaque removal if used at least once daily and used
properly. However, a great number of individuals do not floss daily or
properly. That is why Rota-dent is an asset in your home plaque control
program. It simplifies your efforts.
|
| |
|
Why do dentists and hygienists recommend Rota-dent?
|
|
Clinical study after clinical study has demonstrated the effectiveness of
Rota-dent as a plaque removal instrument. Better yet, dentists and hygienists see
the positive results of Rota-dent when their patients return for their next visit.

Why does Rota-dent have three different brush heads and what makes them so special?
|
|
Each brush head is designed for specific cleaning function. Your dental
professional will explain the difference when personalizing your heads are
constructed of delicate filaments that are as soft and fine as human hair.
|
| |
|
What makes Rota-dent different than an electric toothbrush?
|
|
Only Rota-dent operates and cleans in the same manner as the dental hygiene
handpiece. The soft, rotating brushes gently clean with tooth by tooth
precision. Rota-dent is capable of cleaning areas that are difficult, if not
impossible, for conventional and electric toothbrushes.
|
| |
|
Is Rota-dent safe?
|
|
Several university studies comparing Rota-dent to conventional toothbrushes have
concluded that the Rota-dent is just as safe for the teeth and gum tissue as a
manual brush. Rota-dent is the least abrasive of three other leading power
brushes studied.
|
| |
|
Is Rota-dent easy to use?
|
|
Yes. Your dentist or hygienist will personalize your oral hygiene program,
enabling you to obtain the maximum cleaning effectiveness from your Rota-dent.
|
| |
|
What if I wear braces?
|
|
Rota-dent's patented brush tip design cleans around and under orthodontic
appliances. University studies demonstrate Rota-dent's effectiveness in
maintaining the health of gum tissue of orthodontic patients. The gentle rotating
brushes remove plaque from areas that are difficult for more conventional methods
to reach.

|
If I have had gum surgery, should I use the Rota-dent?
|
|
Rota-dent helps maintain healthy gums by gentle, effective removal of plaque. This
is beneficial whether you have had gum surgery or not.
|
| |
|
How is the Rota-dent beneficial if I have dental implants?
|
|
Like your natural teeth, it is extremely important that plaque be removed daily
from posts and bridges. Accumulation can lead to gingivitis (gum inflammation) or
conditions similar to periodontitis (gum and bone disease). This can have a
negative effect on the long term survival of implants. The Rota-dent allows your
dentist to personalize your homecare program for the best maintenance of dental
implants.
|
| |
|
Is the Rota-dent safe for implants?
|
|
A clinical study at Louisiana State University demonstrated that Rota-dent is
safe for all implant materials included in the study.
|
| |
|
If root surfaces of teeth are exposed or extremely sensitive, can Rota-dent help?
|
|
Conventional brushing is similar to a "scrubbing" action. The Rota-dent's cleaning
effectiveness is derived from rotary action. This rotary action is excellent for
applying desensitizing agents to the root surfaces of teeth. The Rota-dent is
also effective in removing plaque from furcations. The patented, smaller brush
tips can access these more readily than conventional brushes.
|
| |
|
What toothpaste should I use with the Rota-dent?
|
|
It is preferable to use a non-abrasive gel; however, any toothpaste may be used
with your Rota-dent. Many offices recommend the use of a fluoride gel.
|
| |
|
Can others in the family use the Rota-dent?
|
|
Yes, other family members may use the Rota-dent and are encouraged to do so. It is an
excellent plaque removal instrument that is easy and effective for anyone to use. Additional
brush heads may be obtained from your dental professional or Rota-dent customer service.
