How It Works

The Philips Sonicare Healthywhite+ works to remove staining and give a whiter, brighter smile in as short a period as possible. Users will notice a difference in their smile in just one week. The toothbrush is able to achieve this target by using sonic power, sending pulse vibrations through your teeth as it cleans and enabling it to achieve a speed of up to 62000 brush movements per minute.
