Philips Sonicare Essence Review

The HX5610/03 & HX5611/01 brings special care to your oral health. I have to say the Sonicare Essence is relatively affordable compared to Sonicare Healthywhite and DiamondClean series which we have reviewed weeks ago. If you are an entry-level user of the electric toothbrush and won’t care about those complicated functions, the effectiveness and style that this amazing toothbrush comes with are second to none.

The design and the cutting edge technology applied to this product will help you remove up to 2 times more plaque than an ordinary manual brush. If you have been having trouble brushing between your teeth, then this is your ultimate product. This toothbrush has been made using the sonic technology; the dynamic fluid action will allow you clean between the teeth and along your gums with no injuries.

This rechargeable and a clinically proven toothbrush can keep a charge for up to 2 weeks. This makes it ideal when traveling or even regular home-based cleaning. To add to your convenience and ensure that the full control is in your hands, this toothbrush comes with a timer that helps you time your brushing for optimum results. For better oral health, the dentists recommend the replacement of the head whenever you note the bristles are fading. Remember when you purchase the Philips Sonicare Essence Sonic Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush it will come with 2 heads for longer use.
