The Sonicare® sonic toothbrush has added two new features to its plus model - the easy-start and non-slip grip - to make brushing with sonic technology even easier.

- To help new users get accustomed to power toothbrushing, Sonicare`s new easy-start feature increases brushing power in small, gentle steps over the first 12 brushings. After the 12th brushing, the easy-start feature automatically shuts off and the Sonicare will be operating at its optimal brushing power. The non-slip grip is designed with finger-placement guides and a unique thumb ridge on the brush handle to encourage proper hand-positioning that won`t slip while brushing.

- The smartimer™ automatic shut-off encourages brushing for the full two minutes recommended by many dentists. The exclusive quadpacer® beeps at 30-second intervals to alert the user to move to each section of the mouth for a more thorough cleaning.

- For details, contact Optiva Corporation at (800) 682-7664.
