Product Summary
When it comes to electric toothbrush brands, Philips Sonicare is a major rival to Oral B.
Sonic technology brushes feel quite different to rotating brush heads. The Phlips Diamond Clean brush head moves with 62,000 gentle movements/pulsations per minute. Having used a Philips Sonicare for many years, I appreciate the massaging feeling of the sonic vibrations along the gum line.
This sonic technology removes plaque by gently pulsing fluid between the teeth and gum line, and helps to encourage toothpaste to froth up for effective coverage. Brushing technique is simple; gently glide the brush along the gum margin, holding it along each tooth surface for 3-5 seconds across the mouth.
The high-frequency vibrations of the brush head provide a gentle, yet thorough clean, removing plaque and surface stains for a brighter, healthier smile. I personally switched to Oral B because I preferred the oscillating/rotating motion of their brush heads.
With multiple cleaning modes and intensity settings, it’s suitable for all dental needs, from sensitive gums to deep cleaning. And the long battery life and sleek design make it a convenient and stylish addition to any oral care routine.
I’d be sceptical of the claim that it whitens your teeth, as it will not intrinsically whiten your teeth. Regular and efffective toothbrush can help to remove some surface level staining. If you’re interested in teeth whitening, a professional tooth whitening kit is much more effective.
