EasyClean epitomises the Philips ‘Sense & Simplicity’ ethos whilst continuing to offer all the benefits of sonic cleaning technology. EasyClean has been designed with a simple on/off button and easy start mechanism to gently introduce the user to the sensation of sonic brushing. It also provides failsafe timed brushing thanks to an on-board ‘smart timer’ which automatically measures brushing in four equally phased periods to ensure consistent and thorough cleaning for the dental professional recommended two minutes. The EasyClean brush also includes the innovative ProResults brush head with its dynamic bristle motion designed to push fluid into interproximal spaces. The new brush sits perfectly as part of the widening Sonicare portfolio alongside the flagship ‘FlexCare+ brush’, and is designed to appeal to those who are currently manual toothbrush users but whom dental professionals consider would benefit from improved cleaning. The Company believes that once they have switched to a Sonicare toothbrush they will experience a new level of clean and ditch their manual toothbrush once and for all.

Philips sends its love on Valentine’s Day Philips is sending a heart- warming Valentine’s gift to dental professionals with a topical message to ‘Love Their Toothbrush….and Switch to Sonicare’. The three dimensional card features a heart shaped cut out on the front cover which reveals a heart shaped, blue foil-covered chocolate heart nestled within. On the reverse the message advises dental professionals that if they make the switch to Sonicare and experience the difference, they will have a fresh, confident smile for Valentine’s Day. Not only will the box card be mailed out, but the Philips’team will be delivering copies to their favourite practices in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day to share the love as widely as possible. This is part of a new campaign developed by Philips to encourage users of manual toothbrushes (or other powered toothbrush brands) to make the switch to Sonicare in order to fully appreciate the benefits using a Sonicare sonic toothbrush. This is because it is only when people use it that they can really appreciate the new level of oral cleanliness it achieves, after which it makes it unpalatable to brush with anything else. For more information about switching to Sonicare visit www.sonicare.co.uk/ dp or call 0800 0567 Admor officially open new warehouse in West Sussex Admor, the dental practice stationery and office supply specialists, were delighted to welcome the press to their new office and warehouse facilities in Rustington, Littlehampton West Sussex in January, to introduce their new product range.
