When it comes to electric toothbrushes, there is no doubt about it, Philips Sonicare is a leader. The FlexCare and FlexCare+ are two examples of how Philips excels. The Sonicare FlexCare was designed for advanced cleaning and works great on sensitive teeth. This toothbrush is a dream to use, making toothbrushing such a fun task. The Sanitizer is designed to kill all the germs on your brush head. However, if you are not a big fan of gizmo, you can also conveniently opt for the model without the sanitizer.
The FlexCare+ is an improvement on the regular FlexCare as it not only provides you with advanced cleaning and whiter teeth, but also features a Gum Care mode, which was designed to improve gum health in only 2 weeks. This top notch electric toothbrush reduces gum inflammation and bleeding, and protect against gingivitis. Choose between five modes (clean, gum care, refresh, sensitive, massage) for the best cleaning ever.
The bestselling Oral-B Smartseries 5000 Professional Care Rechargeable makes happy smiles and is highly recommended by many dentists. You have probably seen this model at your dental office, and with good reasons. The Oral-B Smartseries 5000 offers incredible brushing that will give you the feeling you just had your teeth cleaned by your hygienist. The 5000 model, as opposed to the 4000 model, includes a brushing guide which will give you good brushing habits with its visual guidance on brushing time and pressure – and also makes a great bathroom clock.
If sensitive teeth is not a problem for you, but you are looking for whiter teeth, the HealthyWhite Power Toothbrushes by Philips will let the natural whiteness of your teeth shine through in only a matters of week. More affordable than the FlexCare, it was shown that with a regular use of the Clean and White mode, the HealthyWhite was able to whiten the teeth up to 2 shades in 2 weeks.
Although the market seems to be dominated mostly by Philips and Oral-B, there are also some other good contenders, such as Waterpik. Reviewers gave great reviews for their Waterpik Sensonic, an affordable unit that offers that squeaky clean feeling so many people are looking for.
