The Sonicare AirFloss is a new [electric toothbrush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oralb-io-series-8) from [Philips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-sonicare-5000) that's serious about keeping teeth clean. It's designed with an "angled nozzle with guidance tip for precision placement," according to Gizmag, so that users can get into the hard spots. This will send quick blasts [pressurized air and water droplets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-flossing-devices) through the nozzle at up to 45 mph, which is why it's proven to be quite useful in removing any grime from your teeth. If that's not convincing, Philips states that it will remove 99% more dental plaque compared to regular brushing and your mouth can be cleaned in less than a minute. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Electric Toothbrushes:** Innovation opportunities for companies to produce electric toothbrushes that use technology to make brushing more effective and efficient. - **Hygiene Devices:** Opportunities for companies to create innovative hygiene devices that improve daily routines and health. - **Plaque Removal Technology:** Development opportunities for technology that can effectively remove plaque and improve oral health. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare:** Inspiration for healthcare companies to develop new, innovative products that improve patient's oral health. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunities for consumer electronics companies to produce innovative bathroom products that incorporate technology. - **Dental Products:** Development opportunities for companies that produce dental products, including toothbrushes, that strive for more effective oral hygiene solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flossing Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensonic-electronic-toothbrush.md) - [Smart Water Stream Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-sonicare-5000.md) - [2-in-1 Flossing Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soocas-neos-ii.md) - [Flossing Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soocas-neos.md) - [Reduced Pressure Water Flossers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oclean-airpump-a10.md) - [Automatic 360 Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-brush-v5.md) - [Cost-Conscious Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caripro-electric-toothbrush.md) - [Tech-Forward Tooth Brush Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-electric-toothbrush1.md) - [At-Home Oral Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-oral-care.md)
