Philips makes some of the best electric toothbrushes available today, and we’re here to help you pick the right one.
Philips makes some of the best electric toothbrushes around, but is its Sonicare range good, and which brush the right one for you? First, the basics: all Sonicare toothbrushes use a sweeping motion (unlike the oscillating movement of many other brushes) and move up to 62,000 times per minute. The idea is that these high-frequency movements gently drive water between your teeth to remove plaque and food without hard brushing that can damage your gums. Philips isn’t the only company whose toothbrushes are designed to protect your gums (higher-end Oral-B brushes automatically reduce speed if you press too hard) but you’ll find the sonic tech in the entire range of Sonicare brushes, from the simple DailyClean through to the DiamondClean 9000. All Sonicare toothbrushes also have a two-minute timer, and will pulse to alert you by pulsing every 30 seconds so you know how long to spend brushing each quadrant of your mouth, but there are many differences across the range as well. Here we’ve rounded up the key difference between the various Sonicare electric toothbrushes so you can make an informed choice and decide which is right for you.
