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.
The short answer
Powered bristle movement and the selected pattern clean where bristles contact tooth surfaces, but cannot replace interdental cleaning or treat established periodontal pockets.
