Teeth for a lifetime with Philips/Jordan
Clean and healthy teeth give the security and
confidence of good appearance.
Furthermore, keeping one's teeth for a lifetime is
the ultimate goal of dental care. Your own daily
dental hygiene as well as the efforts of your
dentist and other professionals are aimed at this.
Philips/Jordan strongly supports this objective.
To safeguard healthy teeth and gums, proper and
frequent removal of plaque in all areas of the
mouth is required.
What is dental plaque?
Dental plaque is the main cause for dental
diseases.
It is a soft and sticky film which continually
develops on teeth, especially in hard to reach
areas as along the teeth line and in between
teeth.
It has almost the same colour as teeth and is
therefore hardly visible.
As long as plaque is still soft, it can be easily
removed.
What are the effects of plaque?
The bacteria in the plaque produce an acid which
can dissolve the enamel of the teeth and the
dentine beneath it. This will cause dental decay
(caries) (fig. 1).
The bacteria also form
substances which may
cause inflammation of
the gums (gingivitis) or
decay of the supporting
tissue (periodontis).
Inflamed gums are
generally red and
swollen and often bleed
when the teeth are
brushed (fig. 2).
Thorough and regular
removal of plaque in all
areas of the mouth will
prevent gingivitis from
starting and will help
stop the spread of
periodontitis.

Philips/Jordan 2-Action plaque remover
2-Action Brush
The power of this new developed plaque removal
system is in the double performance of the
oscillating brush.
Fast oscillating
movements combined
with the additional active
tip movements in the
space between the
teeth, result in a
thorough and highly
effective cleaning of
every area of the teeth
(fig. 3).
Controlled Pressure
Proper cleaning technique requires excellent
handling of a brush as it is a balancing act
between applied pressure and movements.
Too much pressure may damage both teeth and
gums, causes unneccessary wear of the brush
and also reduces the effectiveness of the
brushing operation.
The Controlled Pressure system helps you to
control applying the correct pressure when
brushing your teeth.
When the pressure level is exeeded, the brush
actively warns you by a sudden change in the
position of its neck.
This may occur often when first time used.
Clinical tests show that the Controlled Pressure
will assist you in developing effective electrical
brushing techniques for cleaning at the right
pressure, within a few days (fig. 4).
