Here’s something you probably already know: Brushing teeth is critical for good dental health.
However, all brushing doesn’t achieve the desired outcomes. There’s actually a correct way to brush your teeth, and choosing the right toothbrush can help.
Electric toothbrushes can make brushing easier and do a better job than manual brushing, but choosing from the dozens of models available and picking the right brush for your teeth can be confusing. Sonicare has been a popular electric toothbrush brand for some time, yet because of the cost, many people wonder if they’re actually worth the expense.
After personally reviewing Sonicare toothbrushes, I can definitely recommend any of their models—especially for people over the age of 40 with gum recession and spaces between their teeth.
Following is my in-depth review of Sonicare toothbrushes:
What Makes Sonicare Different from Other Electric Toothbrushes—And What Does it Mean for Your Health?
Sonicare was the first brand to develop a toothbrush using sonic wave technology, which vibrates as high as 30K cycles per minute.
Other electric toothbrush brands like Oral-B oscillate instead of vibrating, which means that the bristles move in a circle. I’ve described Sonicare as a “jiggling motion” and Oral-B as a “sweeping motion,” and they each have advantages and specific uses.
Overall, Sonicare is great at removing the biofilm (the thin layer of plaque and tartar that all of us have on our teeth) that can ultimately lead to cavity formation. Processed foods, common in Western diets, can thicken the biofilm layer, so it’s crucial to use a toothbrush or brushing technique that can address this issue. You never remove the biofilm layer completely, but if you can brush effectively, you can break it apart.

Comparing Each of the DIfferent Sonicare Models
Now that you understand that a Sonicare is a superior toothbrush option that can contribute to great dental health, here’s a look at each of the different Sonicare models, so you can choose the one that’s right for you:
Sonicare Essence:
The Sonicare Essence is the original Sonicare model.
It is less expensive than the other models, and the vibrating tuning fork comes as part of the replaceable head (which does slightly increase the price-per-head). It’s also a bigger and bulkier toothbrush, which I view as an advantage. Many patients, particularly older patients or those without a lot of dexterity in their grip, find that a larger handle leads to a better brushing experience.
Sonicare Series 2 and Sonicare Series 3:
With the Series 2 and Series 3 models, Sonicare provides an update to the original design, but both are very similar. The tuning fork is inside the handle, so it’s easier to clean, and the Series 3 has some additional features, including different intensity settings and a longer battery life.
Sonicare HealthyWhite uses the Sonicare Series 2 technology with a bluetooth connection, which is helpful for people who want to use their smartphone to track their brushing habits.
Sonicare Diamond Clean is the “professional” model that Sonicare offers (i.
e., the one they send to dentists to try out). It’s similar to the Sonicare Series 2, but has a fancier package, a built-in USB charger, and a higher quality head—the “diamond head.”
Keep in mind, though, that the diamond head can be purchased separately, so it’s more cost effective to buy the one of the less expensive Sonicare models and simply upgrade the head if you want the “diamond” experience.
Pros and Cons of Sonicare Toothbrushes
Choosing the right Sonicare toothbrush is important, but it’s also important to keep in mind that no toothbrush is perfect—even the Sonicare. The good news is that the pros of Sonicares generally outweigh the cons.
Let’s take a look:
Sonicare Pros
- Better for cleaning hard-to-reach spots. Sonic technology is the only electric toothbrush method that provides action beyond the bristles—the sonic waves ensure that even hard-to-reach plaque cells (that the bristles can’t reach) are broken up.
- Better for gums. For people with sensitive gums or gum recession, or for those who are hard brushers, the Sonicare is safer on your gums and teeth than Oral B and other electric/manual toothbrushes. (But, with a worn toothbrush head, the edge of the bristles can still do enamel damage if pushed too hard. I recommend replacing the head every month or so.)
- Better to clean between spaces. Sonicare is better for people with gum recession and deeper spaces between their teeth. As people age, the gums can pull away from the teeth, creating tiny spaces where food can hide. In fact, many elderly patients grapple with food impaction issues. Flossing after every meal is one option, but the Sonicare is great for blasting the food out and is why I consistently recommended the Sonicare for people over age 40.
Cons of Sonicare Toothbrushes
- It can be uncomfortable. Not everyone likes the sensation of the sonic waves, and it can take some time to adjust to it.
- Battery may not last as long as other electric toothbrushes. I’ve found that the Sonicare rechargeable battery lasts for about 8-9 months, but there is a lot of variability here: I’ve had patients say the battery lasted three months, while others say theirs lasted two years. The toothbrush comes with a six month warranty that covers the battery, but at its current price point, replacing the toothbrush even twice a year can become expensive.
- More knockoffs. I’ve seen more knockoffs of Sonicare than Oral-B, so watch out for purchasing knockoff brand brushes and heads that may be poorly made and can damage your teeth and gums.
Who Should Buy a Sonicare Toothbrush?
Though many dentists will tell you that everyone should use a Sonicare toothbrush, I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. I think that it can be an unnecessary expense for some people. However, for the following groups of people, a Sonicare toothbrush can vastly improve overall dental health and prevent tooth decay:
- People over 40, or anyone that has gum recession, where the gums begin to pull away from the teeth.
- People who are willing to use a hybrid system: I often recommend that people use two different brushes—an Oral B in the morning, to attack stains, and a Sonicare at night, to blast out the food stuck between teeth before bed.
Final Thoughts: Maximizing the Benefits of a Sonicare Toothbrush
If you do decide to buy a Sonicare toothbrush, that’s great news! You’re well on your way to achieving optimum dental and oral health!
Along the way, the following suggestions will help to ensure maximum brushing benefit:
- Consider pairing the Sonicare with the Oral B (see above), especially if you’re a heavy coffee or black tea drinker, or if you’re concerned about staining from other foods and beverages.
- Beware the sawing motion. Despite what is shown on TV, electric toothbrushes should not be brushed like manual ones. Do NOT use a sawing, or aggressive back-and-forth, motion. Remember, the bristles are constantly in action, so all you need to do is roll the handle gently from tooth to tooth and let the bristles do the work.
- Get the softest head you can find. It won’t come with the toothbrush, but Sonicare does make softer heads that are designed for sensitive teeth. Soft heads will do the best job of brushing teeth and are less likely to scratch the enamel, especially if they are replaced often.

Advantages
Inexpensive, nothing more, holds a charge for a long time, easy to charge, takes up little space, 30-second alerts, easy to use
Disadvantages
it is necessary to relearn how to brush your teeth without pressing on the brush, holding it at a new angle and not making the usual “cleaning” movements with it. Otherwise, you can earn small injuries on the tongue or in the corners of the mouth
Comment
The most important advantage is that it is super easy to use.
To be honest, I didn’t read the instructions. I can’t imagine how the brush will show that, for example, it is discharged. But you know, I didn’t need it even once in 7 months of use. I have a feeling that she does not sit down at all. Sometimes before a trip somewhere I put it on charge for the night. This also does not require any skill or even reading the instructions, just stick the plug into the outlet and put the brush on the power supply. In general, she never sat down at all, did not refuse to work and did not break.
The only thing is that you need to wash it and make sure that pieces of paste do not remain on the body. I had a paste flow into the gap between the body and the nozzle once and it seemed to me that the brush vibrated worse. I washed it and it’s gone
It cleans perfectly, only you need to be more careful when choosing a paste – so that there are no abrasive elements in it, and the whitening is gentle. I bought it to visit the dentist less frequently for professional hygiene, where I usually remove tartar that starts on certain teeth.
With this brush, he stopped starting. The inside of my lower front teeth has never been cleaner

I already bought a second one for myself. The first served for 6 years and started to act up (vibration disappears). Now they also bought my wife (advertising the engine of trade). I clean first with it, then with a thread, then with a regular brush. There is much less plaque on the teeth, and food residues are cleaned well.

Pros
+ Looks nice
+ Cleans well
+ Holds a charge for a long time (at least a month)
+ No unnecessary functionality of older models, only a 30-second timer
Disadvantages of
– It would be better to make the replacement nozzle longer and the body shorter so that the hole for attaching the nozzle is as far as possible from the mouth and paste
– It takes a long time to charge, but this is an induction charger, so understand and forgive
– What about the chewing surface? (see comment)
Comment
My first electric toothbrush.
Recently, I took care of the oral cavity, began to brush zealously and for a long time with an ordinary brush, as a result, 7s and 8s still remained uncleaned, tk. there is little space at the end of the mouth and a normal range of motion cannot be created. Plus, sometimes there was blood from chaotic movements and stiff bristles. I ended up buying this brush. Many sites on the net have similar positive reviews, as if they were written in Philips. Well, I can say that this thing is worth it. The first time I activated the “gradual addiction” function, but did not notice it, everything vibrated, tickled and foam poured in all directions 🙂 then I curbed the miracle mechanism. The main thing is not to touch the teeth with plastic, otherwise it vibrates strongly. Gradually, with the passage of time, the teeth really became whiter, with a stomat. Of course, it cannot be compared with whitening, but you can safely smile, knowing that you have white not only the front 4 teeth, but also all the rest.
A part of the stone between the teeth left, again, something remained in the very depths, because. the bristles are not all-powerful, you need a flosser or dental floss. Plus, a ton of foam is formed, which freshens the breath. The instructions say that 30 seconds are given for each sidewall of the teeth, but nothing is said about the chewing surface – it is basically clean, but after turning off the device I clean it manually, like with a simple brush, for order, so to speak. Many complain that it rusts from the inside and breaks exactly by the end of the warranty, well, this is obvious if you store it in the bathroom with insane humidity and wash it by completely immersing it in a stream of water. On YouTube, it is even advised to put a condom on the motor and batteries for sealing. I have another advice – do not store electronics in the bathroom at all (hair dryers, brushes, razors), and they will serve you for many years, and when washing, do not wet the rubber seals and corrosion-prone elements – in the case of a brush, wash the nozzle from the bristles to expansion “mushroom” at the end.
In general, I recommend the product, a little expensive, but worth it, I bought a case in China and extra. nozzles for years to come 🙂

Advantages
It cleans your teeth wonderfully, after which you will not return to ordinary toothbrushes. I got used to it for about a week, but then you don’t notice such an intensity of vibration.
Disadvantages
After 3 years of use, the pin on which the grid is put on loosened. That’s why I bought a new one.
Comment
Excellent model, I tried other manufacturers before – they did not take root. This one is exactly what you need.

Advantages
Works on charge for at least a month, cleans well according to the dentist.
Disadvantages
Expensive consumable replacement nozzles comparable in cost to the base (similar to inkjet cartridges).
And now – attention! Worked for 2 or 3 years, and then the replacement nozzle was warped at the point of attachment to the base, and this looks like a completely deliberate manufacturing defect in order to artificially shorten the life of the product. Shame on Philips!
Comment
Everything would be fine if not for the artificially shortened service life.

Advantages
Cleaning quality. After switching from a regular brush, I feel as if I brushed my teeth for the first time in my life and they finally became clean. After it, it’s already strange to return to the usual. 2 years – no new holes, plaque is also not visible.
Battery life. I charge once every two weeks – a month, I guess. Holds for a very long time
Simplicity. No additional modes for you, bluetooth connection with a phone and other rubbish. All this is not necessary. Need to brush your teeth. I pressed the button – it cleans, I pressed it again or waited two minutes – it does not clean.
And that’s all.
Disadvantages
– Reliability, reliability, reliability. Like everyone else, it began to turn on and off on its own. This happened a week after the end of the warranty. Sod’s Law 🙂
– The cost of nozzles. Yes, it’s pricey, but it lasts a long time. And it’s not so easy to choose a nozzle. Already 7 models – not always a wide choice is a plus.
Comment
I chose it as the cheapest one with a lithium-ion battery, it was very cheap. If a brush for 10 thousand died in 2 years, I would be upset, but here it’s not so insulting. But I will downgrade. Philips here in the comments constantly writes that they are working on product quality … It seems that it has been improved so much that the brushes began to break right after the end of the warranty period, and not before.
All the same, I will not change to competitors, I will buy the next one.

I consider the best model in terms of price / brush ratio. At first it was like this, it broke down after three years (vibration strength dropped), I bought soniccare 2 – I was disappointed, the handle became much thicker, it was uncomfortable to hold and its vibration strength was weaker, although in one price segment. When the wife’s brush failed (stopped charging after five years of operation), I bought the same one. Great model! Nothing extra

Wife marked mine separately in pink. It is a pity that the manufacturer did not think this out.
Quite expensive nozzles, if you stick to the practice of changing them every three months.

A simple, even primitive brush, one button – turned on, clean. She detects the prescribed 2 minutes, so there is no chance to freebie and clean up less.
Buzzes and cleans well, teeth are really smoother and cleaner. It tickles at first, but then you get used to it.
Now it’s 2019, and the brush is still working, only the plastic of the handle has darkened a little from time to time.

electric toothbrush For a long time I could not decide on a review about the toothbrush, I kept looking for flaws, but I did not find it, except perhaps for a long charge. I used to think that all these electronic brushes are nonsense and a waste of money. But after a week of use, my opinion has changed. Teeth after brushing are smooth, shiny, you won’t achieve this with a regular brush. And after a month of use, I saw that the tartar had almost completely disappeared and the teeth became noticeably whiter.
Advantages: no ordinary toothbrush can compare with it in terms of efficiency
Disadvantages: a little long charging Product Review: Philips Sonicare HX6232/41 Electric Toothbrush
Very light, brushes look so nice in the bathroom.
After brushing, the feeling of smooth teeth that you want to constantly run your tongue over them. Soon there will be a visit to the dentist, it will be interesting what the doctor will say, I hope he will praise 🙂
Pros: Light, beautiful
Cons: One charger included
