Did you know brush heads become less effective after three months? Dental professionals recommend changing your brush head regularly, that's why Philips Sonicare toothbrushes have BrushSync technology.

Oh THATS what my teeth are supposed to look like!

The grey lines in the crevices of the tops of my teeth have completely gone after 1 month! And, my poor wisdom teeth right at the back had been completely grey for years ( I have used an electric brush all my adult life), they too are now actually lightening significantly and starting to look like healthy teeth again. I really questioned whether the investment was worth it at first but hands down this is the best toothbrush (Sonicare HX991R 260123 1A) and brush head (C3) combo I’ve ever used. Real results, really quickly.

Great toothbrush heada

These were replacements for my Phillips electric toothbrush, they last a really long time meaning great value for money. I certainly feel the difference since I’ve started to use this toothbrush and my teeth are cleaner and less stained. Highly recommended.

Superior clean brush heads

These brush heads are great. I tested these in place of my usual brush heads and I could definitely see and feel a difference. The power tip really gets into those hard to reach areas whilst still being soft enough on the gums

Pros

Quality, power tip, easy to use

Cons
