Features and specifications
| The manufacturer says |
Unlike a manual toothbrush, Philips Sonicare DiamondClean uses unique sonic technology to clean teeth with up to 31,000 brush strokes per minute. Sweeping motions drive fluid deep into the tight spaces between your teeth and along your gum line, resulting in a cleaner, healthier mouth.
The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean, with unique sonic technology, sweeps away plaque giving you an amazingly effective, yet gentle clean. Our built-in pressure sensor lets you know if you're brushing too hard, to help protect your teeth and gums.
