Philips Sonicare - Professional Clean Plus Rechargeable toothbrush (HX7439/01)

I really like my sonicare professional clean (cheaper than the diamond) and just replace it every 3-5 years or so

I've had the Oral-B and Sonicare and Sonicare wins, hands down. Smaller heads available, teeth feel almost dentist clean, comes with a small stand and carry case. I get heads from Costco in bulk as hubby & I have the same model and it's cheaper. (It would've been cheaper to get both with the Costco 2-pack, but we switched at different times.) Every once in a while the hard part of the vibrating head will touch a tooth and it doesn't feel great, not painful just weird. My dentist has noticed a difference and I haven't had a cavity since I switched. I have TMJ issues and bruxism. I have a nighttime mouth guard from my dentist that has really helped and has material that stands up to the grinding and isn't bouncy like OTC ones, which leads to more muscle & joint pain.

Costco has both the OralB iO for $60 and the 2 pack of Sonicare Professional Clean for $130 with the SC heads (C3 Plaque Control or W Diamond Clean) for $50 for 8. Online prices will be higher.

for EDS, the main things i'd focus on are a super soft bristle toothbrush (like the colgate extra soft or sensodyne pronamel soft), since a lot of us have gum sensitivity and fragile tissue that gets irritated easily. an electric toothbrush like an oral-B or sonicare on a sensitive setting can also be a game changer because you don't have to press as hard, which helps avoid bruising or micro-tears. for toothpaste, sensodyne is a pretty popular choice in this community because it's gentle and helps with sensitivity. biotene is another good one if you deal with dry mouth, which is pretty common with EDS and dysautonomia overlap. also worth mentioning since a lot of us deal with POTS or general dysautonomia alongside EDS, staying on top of electrolytes actually makes a real difference in how your whole body feels, including things like dry mouth and fatigue that can affect oral health. i've been using salties, which are just unflavored electrolyte drops, and they're easy to add to any drink without messing with your routine. but back to the actual dental stuff, definitely check with your dentist about fluoride treatments if you have enamel issues, and ask about a custom mouthguard if you're a jaw clencher since hypermobility can make TMJ stuff way worse.

Another Sonicare user here. My teeth are definitely cleaner since I switched from a rotary brush to this. I know it's anecdotal evidence, but I can feel the difference every day.

I'm mostly moving it and not applying a lot of pressure. I think in the user guide it said to use a ~45 degree angle, but I need to check. I have a higher-end Sonicare, but afaik it's the same speed of 62k brush movements/min as the one in the picture. It could be that my rotary brush was shit, but it did have a new brush. I definitely feel that my teeth are better brushed and stay also cleaner longer when I started brushing with Sonicare.

My Sonicare with travel case (with integrated charger) is by far the best electric toothbrush I have ever used. Came here to say this.

Not bulky, no. And the built in charger is a blessing.

I got mine in 1992 and it lasted til 2004. Got my second in 2020 and still using it. I bought a second one at the same time, just in case.

I bought a sonicare from Amazon for cheap and it lasted about a year. I bought another sonicare from my dentist and it's still going strong, six years later.

I have tried manual toothbrush and the Philips One travel toothbrush and they don’t compare to the full size Sonicare, which I now bring on every trip. Obviously, I don’t bring the big case.

I take off the head and use the cap that comes with head refills https://preview.redd.it/55qc75oeonog1.jpeg?width=778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c0dc3805041a35b7bb85842c5837ee331d11a83

Why do you need a case at all? I travel with a Sonicare and separate the head from the body and use the tiny cap that comes with replacement heads. https://preview.redd.it/scm4aoprhmog1.jpeg?width=778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5fddee74590ffed76e7b348a37da8497592a7f9

I have a different model, but you can buy small alternatives to the case charger.

I bring my full size Sonicare too. I had the same experience with Philips One. About to leave on a two month trip and I'm tempted to take a travel water flosser as well.

I will not deinfluence you. Mas okay ang Philips Electric Toothbrush Sonic series. There are some published studies na better ang mentioned brand na yun. Dentists also agree when it comes sa clean function and bristles shape.
