Philips Sonicare 5500 Electric Toothbrush for Naturally Whiter Teeth HX7111/02

Product Introduction

Sonicare uses high-speed vibrations of approximately 31,000 strokes per minute to loosen plaque, and the wide amplitude of the brush head sweeps away the loosened plaque. Simultaneously, these movements generate a "sonic water flow" in the mouth, gently and effectively supporting plaque removal. Newly adopted technology allows the built-in motor to automatically adjust power, ensuring consistent performance even in hard-to-reach areas, resulting in a consistent brushing and polished finish throughout the mouth. It removes up to 10 times more plaque than manual brushing. The included Premium Clean brush head uses a flexible rubber base, resulting in a larger bristle amplitude and approximately four times the contact area with the teeth compared to the conventional White+ brush head. It adheres closely to the teeth and gums, reaching even hard-to-reach areas to effectively remove plaque, removing up to 10 times more plaque than manual brushing. Furthermore, the flexible base absorbs excessive brushing pressure during cleaning. The battery lasts for approximately 3 weeks on a full charge. *Based on brushing for 2 minutes twice a day. Choose your preferred brushing method with two modes. Clean mode thoroughly removes plaque with normal brushing. White mode is effective in removing stains (discoloration) from the tooth surface. The overpressure prevention sensor function ensures gentle brushing for your teeth and gums. The overpressure prevention sensor function alerts you when you are pressing the brush head too hard against your teeth. The overpressure prevention sensor built into the handle detects that you are pressing the brush head too hard against your teeth, and changes the brushing vibration to prompt you to reduce the pressure you are pressing the brush head against your teeth. This function also alerts you when it's time to replace the brush head. It records the pressure you apply to your teeth and the usage time, and when the brush head is worn out and needs replacing, the brush head replacement indicator light illuminates. Pacer function (a function that notifies you of time intervals with a beep) and Smart Timer function (a function that prevents over-brushing): The Pacer function notifies you of time intervals with a beep every 20 seconds, helping you to brush your mouth evenly and thoroughly at regular intervals. The Smart Timer function automatically stops after 2 minutes of brushing. This ensures you brush thoroughly for 2 minutes while preventing over-brushing. Easy Start function to gradually get used to the vibration. Suitable for electric toothbrush beginners: To help you gradually get used to brushing with Philips Sonicare, the power is gradually increased from the first use to the 14th use. A user-friendly function for electric toothbrush beginners.
