Ready to upgrade your tooth-brushing game beyond that basic manual brush? It’s time to get something that can actually clean your teeth effectively. The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 is like having a tiny dental hygienist living in your bathroom. It buzzes at 62,000 movements per minute and tells you when you’re brushing too hard, which is something most of us are guilty of. But most of all, it gives you that deep clean that you’re craving, and you can stave off dental issues and cavities by using it.
And wouldn’t you know it – this Black Friday, Amazon’s knocked this down to $60, which is a solid $50 off its usual $110 price tag. At 45% off, it’s hitting that sweet spot where investing in your dental health doesn’t require taking out a second mortgage. Plus, it comes with three brush heads, which means you’re set for most of the year.
An efficient clean for sparkling, dazzling teeth
This electric toothbrush has a little something for everyone, which is part of what makes it such a great option for making sure your teeth are sparkling clean. Got sensitive gums? There’s a mode for that. Fighting coffee stains? There’s a whitening mode. All you really need to do is supply toothpaste and work the brush along all the important spots. Then your reward for being diligent is a whole mouth full of sparkling, glittery teeth with a superior clean that feels much more complete than what you’d get from a basic toothbrush.
Just want a basic clean? Yep, there’s a mode for that too. The pressure sensor is particularly clever – it actually tells you when you’re going too hard, which helps protect your gums from that overzealous morning brushing. And unlike some electric toothbrushes that die after a few days, this one keeps going for two weeks on a single charge, perfect for trips where you might forget the charger.
Anyone who’s been told they brush too hard at the dentist can use this brush, as can anyone who wants to upgrade their oral care without spending hundreds. The included travel case is actually decent too, not just a flimsy plastic afterthought.
At $59.96, it’s a pretty solid investment in keeping your dentist happy at your next checkup. And let’s be honest, anything that makes dentist visits less stressful is worth considering. Just don’t get too attached to the gentle buzzing sound, because you might start missing it when you’re away from home.
