The Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush delivers a powerful yet gentle clean, transforming your daily oral hygiene routine. Its sonic technology operates at high speeds, creating dynamic fluid action that reaches deep between teeth and along the gumline, breaking up and sweeping away plaque. This action isn't just about surface cleaning; it effectively cleans areas a manual brush often misses, helping to prevent tartar buildup and tooth decay.
Brushing Technique: Glide the brush head gently over your teeth and gumline. Let the sonic vibrations do the work. The brush should do most of the work for you, so there's no need for scrubbing.
Pressure Sensor: Pay attention to the pressure sensor. If you press too hard, the toothbrush will give you a gentle alert, prompting you to reduce pressure. This is crucial for protecting your gums from recession and tooth enamel from wear.
Built-in Timer: The 2-minute timer ensures you brush for the optimal duration. The QuadPacer feature divides the 2 minutes into four 30-second intervals, signaling you to move to a different quadrant of your mouth. This helps you achieve a thorough and even clean across all teeth.
Stain Removal: With consistent use, the gentle yet effective cleaning action helps to remove surface stains caused by food and drink, contributing to naturally whiter teeth. This is a noticeable benefit for those looking to enhance their smile without harsh abrasives.
Gum Health: By effectively removing plaque along the gumline and massaging the gums, the Sonicare 4100 improves gum circulation and reduces the risk of gum inflammation, making it an excellent choice for overall gum health.
Getting started with your Philips Sonicare 4100 is straightforward, and maintaining it ensures optimal performance and longevity.
Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge your toothbrush for at least 24 hours. Place the handle on the charging base plugged into a suitable power outlet.
Attach Brush Head: Firmly push the brush head onto the handle until it clicks into place. Ensure it's securely attached before use.
First Use: Moisten the brush head and apply a small amount of toothpaste. Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline. Press the power button to start.

After Each Use: Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water while the toothbrush is still switched on, then switch it off and rinse the handle. Wipe the handle dry.
Cleaning the Handle: Regularly wipe the handle with a damp cloth to remove any toothpaste residue or dirt. Avoid submerging the handle in water.
Cleaning the Charger: Unplug the charger before cleaning. Wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the charger in water.
