To shine the spotlight on the importance of maintaining good oral health for overall well-being, Philips celebrates the occasion with its Sonicare range of electric toothbrushes

Manila, Philippines – This World Oral Health Day, Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, is calling public attention to the importance of adopting good oral hygiene habits to keep our teeth and gums health in our later years by developing an educational infographic on maintaining oral hygiene. 

Numerous studies show a strong link between poor oral health and chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke,. The World Health Organization has also adopted an important resolution which underpins that maintaining a healthy mouth can reduce your chances of developing wider health issues. Globally, around 3.5 billion people suffer from preventable oral diseases – such as tooth decay and gum disease. As with many major health issues, prevention and early detection of oral disease is key to stem any negative repercussions on the rest of your body.

“The mouth is often regarded as the mirror of one’s health. At Philips, we always keep the health of our consumers first and consider their needs in our innovations. Our advanced personalised solutions are developed to support you in maintaining a set of healthy teeth and gums not just for cosmetic reasons, but also because a healthy mouth now may mean less health-related issues for you in the future,” said Maite Uy, Business Development Manager, Personal Health, Philips Philippines.

As one ages, the state of our mouth also changes. Our teeth will shift and lose bone mass, and gums will recede. Tooth loss can also occur due to long-term dental neglect and as our teeth enamel wears down. Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, and periodontal disease are among some of the most common dental diseases seen in the Philippines. While dental caries affects people of all ages, gum diseases are a common issue as we age.

Innovation that supports the adoption of good oral health habits 

Get a helping hand with the Philips Sonicare 3100 series Sonic electric toothbrush. Say goodbye to manual toothbrushing and hello to Sonic technology, which gently removes 3x more plaque! Its powerful bristle vibrations drive microbubbles deep between your teeth and along your gum line for a refreshing experience. You will get two month’s worth of manual brushing in just 2 minutes. The 31000 brush strokes per minute gently clean your teeth, break up plaque, and sweep it away for an exceptional daily clean.

The built-in pressure sensor automatically detects pressure you apply, warns you, and reduces the toothbrush vibrations automatically to help protect your gums. The toothbrush will make a pulsing sound as a reminder to ease off the pressure. 7 out of 10 people found this feature helped them become better brushers. All brush heads wear out over time, so you’ll want to keep an eye on yours to make sure you’re still getting a great clean. Our BrushSync technology tracks how long you’ve been using your brush head for, and how hard you’ve been brushing. The BrushSync replacement reminder on your handle and a short beep gives you a heads up when it’s time to replace it.

The limited edition Philips Sonicare 3100 series Sonic electric toothbrush will be available this week in www.shop-philips.com.ph, and online e-commerce sites Lazada.PH and Shopee.PH.
