Philips Sonicare Connected App - Terms of Use
Thank you for your interest in Philips Sonicare! This Philips Sonicare mobile application (“App”) is offered to you by Philips North America, LLC. We welcome you to use this App as your companion on your journey to better oral health. There are just a few rules and restrictions we ask you to keep in mind.
What this App does for you when connected with certain Philips Sonicare power toothbrush models:
- a location sensor to show you where you are brushing too much or too little;
- a scrubbing sensor to help you reduce excess motion and optimise your brushing technique;
- a pressure sensor to track brushing pressure and alert you when and where too much pressure is applied to protect your gums;
- a SmarTimer to ensures that you are brushing for the time recommended by dental professionals in each segment of your mouth; and
- an RFID sensor – if using a Philips Sonicare brush head – that automatically suggests a brushing mode for that type of brush head and tracks that brush head’s effectiveness.
- Personalised guidance monitors your habits and coaches you with tailored advice and solutions. This coaching helps to improve your brushing style for consistent, complete coverage.
- Touch-Up gives you a customised programme based on your brushing session data to immediately address missed spots and get a more complete clean;
- Brush Head Replacement Monitor tracks your brush head effectiveness based on your brushing time and pressure. The monitor alerts you when to replace the brush head so you get the best results. If using a brush head with RFID sensors, these results we be tracked for each individual brush head;
- Dashboard displays your brushing data over time and shows how you are performing against your goals;
- Focus Areas enables you to highlight trouble spots on your personalised mouth map within the Sonicare app, reminding you to give those areas the extra care that they need each time you brush:
- My Appointments enables you to set up and keep track of your dental visits.
- Shop for Products provides access to a selection of Philips Oral Healthcare products for your convenience
