Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Plaque Control, Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with Pressure Sensor, Black Hx6850/60

This toothbrush is an absolute game-changer! It charges in just 5 hours and lasts for two weeks—unbeatable. I've noticed a significant improvement in my gums and teeth compared to a traditional brush. It’s faster and leaves my mouth feeling incredibly fresh. The three different settings make it easy to choose between cleaning, whitening, or focusing on gum care. The battery life is outstanding. Overall, I’d rate it a perfect 10/10!

I had a Sonicare that I bought in 2012 and used at least twice daily, but it finally stopped holding a charge in 2025. This new one does not have all the features of my old one (e.g., missing "Go Care"), but I like the three settings, two of which I'm sure I will use daily. I love these Sonicare toothbrushes. I haven't had a cavity since I started using it back in 2012. In fact, my dental cleanings are quite short because there isn't much for the hygienist to do , and I attribute much of that to the Sonicare (along with flossing and waterpik). Most studies show that an electric toothbrush is better for your teeth than a manual toothbrush. There are some studies that show that a manual toothbrush can be as effective as an electric toothbrush, but only if used properly. When using a manual toothbrush while I'm tired and ready for bed, I would get lazy and my brushing time was much shorter than two minutes. The Sonicare strongly encourages you to brush for the full two minutes. It's worth the cost to have lower dental bills!
