A radiant smile starts with healthy teeth and good oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth is a daily habit we are all familiar with, but did you know that there are innovative technologies that can help you keep your teeth even cleaner? In this blog, we take a closer look at tooth brushing with ions, how it works and the benefits it offers.
Brushing your teeth with Ions; How It Works
Ions
Let's start with a brief explanation of what ions are. Ions are charged particles, either atoms or molecules that are electrically charged because they have gained (negatively charged) or lost (positively charged) an extra electron. In the case of ionic toothbrushes, negatively charged ions are used to attract dirt and plaque on teeth and gums.
Saliva
Saliva contains minerals such as calcium and phosphate, which are naturally positively charged. When the negative ions from the toothbrush come into contact with the positive ions in saliva, an attraction is created.
