Gently Cleans Teeth with Sonic Technology

Removing up to two times more plaque than a manual toothbrush, the Philips Sonicare Essence Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush uses powerful Sonic technology to clean teeth with up to 31,000 strokes per minute. These sweeping motions drive fluids deep into the tight spaces between your teeth and along your gum line, resulting in a cleaner, healthier mouth. The Essence is gentle enough to use on veneers, braces, implants, and sensitive teeth.

Contoured Bristles and Soft-Grip Handle for Comfort

With smooth, contoured bristles that correspond to the natural shape of your teeth, this Sonicare toothbrush delivers a thorough, comfortable brushing experience. Its angled neck provides optimal reach for the bristles, which have extra-soft rounded ends that go deep between teeth to remove plaque and reduce gingivitis. The blue soft -touch grip makes the handle easy to hold and maneuver while brushing.

Easy-Start and Smartimer Simplify Brushing

You need only to apply light pressure when guiding this toothbrush over your teeth--the Essence will do the work for you through its high speed bristle motion and dynamic cleaning action. The easy-start option gently increases the toothbrush's power over the first 12 uses to help you adjust to using a power toothbrush. The Smartimer feature sets brushing time to two minutes, the time recommended by dental professionals, and shuts the toothbrush off after that cycle.

Two Weeks of Power on a Single Charge

Because the Essence can last up to two weeks between charges, you can leave its charger at home for your travels. A soft travel case and hygienic travel cap are included for convenience. An indicator on the brush displays remaining battery life and blinks when you need to recharge. The Philips Sonicare Essence is backed by a full 2-year warranty and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Ignore lies about mold

Ignore lies about mold
My boyfriend has had one of these and I got one for my mother about 6months ago. On their recommendation I decided to get it.2 days into use and everything seems to be going well.Nothing fancy. 2 minute timer is helpful. Indicator light seems to be on at all times despite charging for a day (will keep an eye on that)Seal between brush top and base is not water tight which leads to the rest of my review :Wanted to point out something people seem to be missing with regards to the mold build-upInstructions say :"clean the brush at least ONCE PER WEEK, including under the removaleable nut"&"sonicare handle is dishwasher safe"I don't see how mold can be building up as much as in the posted pictures unless they're just not bothering with the maintenence.4 stars for now.Will update later once I've had the chance to use it more
