And just like most Philips products, a plastic case is included to keep the brush head clean during storage or travel. On the backside of the toothbrush, there’s a notch to keep the toothbrush from rolling around, ensuring the brush head is always kept off the surface if lying flat. Mark Wolff, professor of restorative dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania, emphasized the importance of controlling the pressure while brushing since “brushing too aggressively can wear the gums and tooth structure, resulting in recession and tooth sensitivity to cold.”Įverything on the Philips is well thought-out from a design perspective. So during the brushing session, if you press too hard and apply too much pressure, the Sonicare 4100 will vibrate and an indicator light will flash, giving you a warning. While using an electric toothbrush, you’re meant to let the brush head do the work rather than scrubbing. One of our favorite features of the toothbrush - and one we didn’t find with some of the other lower-priced toothbrush options - is the pressure sensor. You can also pause the toothbrush - for up to 30 seconds - and the timer will start off right where it left off.

During testing, the Sonicare 4100 felt very comfortable in hand, and the brush head ( several varieties are available from Philips we tested with the supplied standard heads) was gentle against our teeth and gums, getting into those hard-to-reach places and getting our teeth sparkling clean.Ī two-minute timer reminds you to brush for the full two minutes per most dentists’ recommendations, and even better, during that time a “Quadpacer” timer vibrates every 30 seconds, guiding you to move to another quadrant of your mouth - helping to make sure all teeth are cleaned equally. The straightforward controls let you easily change the settings as you brush. The Phillips offers only a single brushing mode, with low and high intensity levels.

The 4100 has been around for many years, and we found it as comfortable, easy and effective to use as more expensive models, with simple, useful features like a pressure sensor and timer that make a big difference versus traditional manual toothbrushes.Īlthough the Philips Sonicare 4100 isn’t as feature-packed as some toothbrushes that cost a few hundred dollars, those extra features aren’t always needed. Ensure there is no leftover moisture or residue as this will prolong the life of your base and keep your toothbrush germ-free.Looking for an excellent electric toothbrush at an affordable price? If so, the Philips Sonicare 4100 is one of the best out there. Keeping the inside of the base dry is very important, so along with regularly using the cleaning and drying cycles, wipe down the inside of the base every week with a dry cloth. Keeping your base always plugged in allows for the toothbrush to be dried twice a day which promotes adequate airflow along with killing the germs on your toothbrush.

The inside of the base is very important to keep clean because it is most at risk for growing germs if not maintained properly.

To clean the base, unplug the power cord, and using a soft cloth wrapped around your finger, run it over the bottom of the base and in the center ensuring that all surfaces are dry and free from debris. This keeps the connection between the brush head and handle secure because if buildup forms between the pieces then the brush head will not be able to stay attached correctly. To keep all areas of your toothbrush clean, make sure you’re removing the brush head from the handle and wiping it down.

Remove brush head, and clean the metal shaft area with warm water on a weekly basis. Also, be sure to rinse the lower half of your brush head too to prevent buildup forming where the head connects to the handle. Wash off any leftover toothpaste or trapped food particles in your brush head that will accelerate the wear and tear of the bristles. Always rinse toothbrush head after each use.
