The Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush is designed for individuals seeking an effective and gentle clean to achieve naturally whiter teeth. Its advanced sonic technology and smart features help you brush efficiently and protect your gums.

The Philips Sonicare 4100 transforms your daily brushing routine into a highly effective oral care session. Its sonic technology generates up to 31,000 brush strokes per minute, far exceeding manual brushing. These high-frequency vibrations create dynamic cleaning action, driving fluid deep into interdental spaces and along the gumline, effectively removing plaque and surface stains.
Gentle yet Powerful: The Sensitive mode is excellent for those with sensitive gums or teeth, while the Clean mode provides an invigorating, thorough cleanse.
Gum Protection: The pressure sensor is a crucial feature. If you press too hard, the brush will emit a pulsing sound or vibration, prompting you to reduce pressure. This helps prevent gum recession and enamel wear.
Consistent Cleaning: The 2-minute SmartTimer ensures you brush for the recommended duration, and the 30-second QuadPacer signals when to move to the next section of your mouth. This structured approach helps ensure no area is neglected, leading to a consistently clean feel across all teeth.
Stain Removal: With the included W2 Optimal White brush head, the brush is highly effective at lifting everyday stains from coffee, tea, and food, contributing to a noticeably brighter smile over time. For example, consistent use can help reduce yellowness from morning coffee over several weeks.
Charge Your Toothbrush: Before first use, fully charge your Philips Sonicare handle for at least 24 hours. Place the handle on the charging base. A blinking light indicates it's charging; a solid light means it's fully charged.
Attach Brush Head: Firmly push a Sonicare click-on brush head onto the handle. Ensure it clicks into place.
The Philips Sonicare 4100 is compatible with all Philips Sonicare click-on brush heads, allowing you to choose brush heads tailored to specific needs (e.g., plaque control, gum care, whitening).
Rinse After Each Use: After brushing, rinse the brush head and bristles thoroughly under running water.
Clean the Handle: Wipe the handle with a damp cloth as needed to remove any toothpaste residue.
Regular Brush Head Replacement: For optimal performance and hygiene, replace your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles are splayed or worn. The Sonicare W2 Optimal White brush head (or other compatible click-on heads) are readily available.
Store Properly: Store your toothbrush upright in a dry place to allow the brush head to air dry.
Charging: Recharge the toothbrush when the battery indicator light signals low power. Avoid leaving it plugged in constantly after it's fully charged, though modern batteries are designed to prevent overcharging.
