The Philips Sonicare Series 5500 leverages its Next-Generation Sonicare Technology to deliver an exceptionally thorough clean. With 62,000 brush head movements per minute, it creates dynamic fluid action that drives toothpaste and water between teeth and along the gumline, effectively disrupting and sweeping away plaque. This results in up to 7 times more plaque removal compared to a manual toothbrush, significantly improving overall oral health.
For daily comprehensive cleaning, the Clean mode is ideal, focusing on plaque removal and leaving your mouth feeling fresh. If you're looking to enhance your smile, switch to the White mode. This mode is specifically designed to tackle surface stains, helping you achieve visibly whiter teeth in a short period.
Gum health is paramount, and the Series 5500 addresses this with its intelligent pressure alert. If you press too hard, the toothbrush will gently pulse and reduce its vibration, signaling you to ease up. This intuitive feature helps prevent gum irritation and protects delicate gum tissue.
New users will appreciate the EasyStart feature, which gradually increases the brushing intensity over the first 14 sessions. This allows you to comfortably adapt to the powerful sonic vibrations, making the transition to an electric toothbrush seamless and enjoyable. The included travel case makes it easy to maintain your oral hygiene routine whether you're at home or on the go.
Charge the Handle: Before first use, fully charge your toothbrush handle. Place the handle onto the charging base. Note that a power adapter is not included, so you will need to use your own USB power adapter with the provided charger.
Attach Brush Head: Align the brush head with the handle's metal shaft and press down firmly until it clicks into place. The toothbrush comes with one W2 Optimal White brush head.
Power On/Off: Press the power button to turn the toothbrush on or off.
Select Mode: Press the mode button (usually the same as the power button if pressed repeatedly while on) to cycle through Clean and White modes.
The Philips Sonicare Series 5500 is compatible with genuine Philips Sonicare snap-on brush heads. The included W2 Optimal White brush head is designed for optimal stain removal and whitening.
After Each Use: Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water. Wipe the handle with a damp cloth to remove any toothpaste residue.
Weekly Cleaning: Unplug the charger and wipe it with a damp cloth. Clean the charging base with a soft, damp cloth.
Brush Head Replacement: For optimal performance and hygiene, replace your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles appear worn or frayed.
