Okay, I can admit it: I used to be a little lazy when it came to dental care. In the past, I got away with a few cursory brushes with a manual toothbrush and called it a day. But several cavities later, I’ve come to acknowledge and appreciate owning a solid electric toothbrush, and over the years, Sonicare has been my go-to brand.
Thus, you can understand my excitement about this deal for Sonicare’s ProtectiveClean 5300 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, which is on sale for a post-Cyber Monday discount of 27% off the original price. Let’s get into what makes this electric toothbrush the real deal (and not to mention a great deal!).
Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, $79.96 (27% off)
The Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 is about good vibrations — literally. This brush has sensors that monitor how much pressure you’re applying when you brush, and it adjusts the vibrations of the brush to ensure that it doesn’t damage your gums. But that’s not to say that the brush isn’t thorough; with over 60,000 brush movements per minute, this toothbrush is comprehensive in its cleaning.
The ProtectiveClean 5300 also features three modes (clean, white and gum care) that take care of everything from a gentle gum massage to removing surface stains to giving your teeth a thorough cleaning. In addition to two standard brush heads, the toothbrush also comes with an Optimal Gum Care brush head. On top of that, the brush has three intensity settings that give you a truly customizable brushing experience.
The brush’s two-minute timer, broken into four 30-second segments, removes the need for guesswork as you brush all corners of your mouth. Its built-in BrushSync technology measures your brush usage, alerting you when it’s time to replace your brush head. The toothbrush also offers up to two weeks of regular usage on a single charge, making it useful on trips as well as in the house.
More than just a one-note, one-mode electric toothbrush, the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 is a multi-setting toothbrush that delivers a complete cleaning worthy of the dentist’s chair. (And at its current sale price, it makes a great stocking stuffer.) Get one, and your teeth and gums will thank you.
