Philips Sonicare - Series 6500 (HX7413/07)

I’ve got this one and after a little while it’s slowed down. Why would that be when it’s fully charged. I’m thinking the head isn’t on properly but it looks fine.

Philips Sonicare 6500 here. Brilliant, on it's highest setting it feels like a jack hammer on your gum line, a little painful to begin with, but by God it feels good afterwards. Last 3 dental visits, dentist said my gum health is the best it's ever been in the 17 years I've been seeing him. No inflammation, no bleeding, just perfect gummy gums! It's absolutely with splashing out!

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.

I looked specifically for one with a travel case, but those are usually the higher end (Sonicare 9900 and the like). I tried a cheap one from Concept but it cleaned noticeably worse than my Sonicare. Then last year I snatched a new Sonicare for 50 euros at a clearance sale and I'm very happy with it. This one has a built in USB A cable to charge.

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.
