Sonicare premium gum care
A Sonicare Premium Gum Care mode is an electric-toothbrush setting intended to combine brushing with a gentler gum-focused routine.

Powered bristle movement and the selected pattern clean where bristles contact tooth surfaces, but cannot replace interdental cleaning or treat established periodontal pockets.
How well can premium gum care clean around the gumline?
Use a soft head, place bristles at the gumline without scrubbing, and clean between teeth separately. Replace a worn or splayed head.
Why are gentle brushing and interdental cleaning both needed?
