Electric toothbrushes with a high pulsation frequency

High frequency of pulsations

— toothbrushes that support a high pulsation frequency — 50 000 pulses per minute or more.

This feature can be found in both models that support pulsating cleaning methods (see "Cleaning technology") and in sonic models; in the latter case, it usually involves bristle movements back and forth from the brush head. In any case, a high pulsation frequency positively affects cleaning efficiency, especially when dealing with dense plaque or tartar. However, overly intense treatment can be undesirable, such as for individuals with sensitive teeth. Therefore, it is advisable to consider models with this feature primarily if you do not have dental issues or if a higher pulsation frequency is specifically recommended by your dentist; for added reassurance, you can choose a model with a gentle cleaning mode (see "Cleaning modes").
