TOP TEETH: Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite Recommended by Whom You Know; Includes the Opinion of Dr. Garo Nazarian, Official Dentist of Whom You Know

Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite is the #1 recommended Power Toothbrush brand by U.S. dental professionals.  It Whitens teeth up to two shades in two weeks.  Peachy Deegan had white teeth before thanks to the fabulous care of Dr. Garo Nazarian and Cosmopolitan Dental (http://cosmopolitandental.com ), and the Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite keeps them that way!  We are pleased with the massaging pulse of the bristles that effectively cleans yet is not overly rigorous against our gums.  The design is sleek and stunning, and it is a work of art in our bathroom!    The different cleaning options that are offered (Clean, Sensitive and Clean and White) are attractive features on such a gadget and we love how customized this is.  The charging power it has is better than any model we have seen thus far as well! The interval timer encourages thorough brushing of each quadrant of your mouth.  For maintenance, all you need to do is replace the brush head every three months, and your teeth will be fabulous!  



Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite Offers:

Clean and White mode:
Uses 30 seconds of whitening power to whiten teeth up to two shades in just two weeks
Effectively removes everyday stains such as coffee, tea, tobacco and red wine

Clean and Sensitive modes:
Offer a variety of brushing options
ProResults brush head combined with patented sonic technology removes significantly more plaque than a manual toothbrush and other premium power toothbrushes including Oral-B Triumph
Smaller handle design and 80 percent vibration reduction deliver better user experience

Dr. Garo Nazarian, recommended Dentist of Whom You Know and the best Dentist in Manhattan according to Peachy Deegan, stated:
"Prior to receiving my new PHILLIPS SONICARE TOOTHBRUSH, I had used a few different models of the Sonicare toothbrushes and from other companies over the past ten years. Since the prior models had inevitably died, I was in the midst of brushing "old school" style using my traditional soft oral care toothbrush. Within the easy to use travel case contained two types of brush heads (one for travel and one for home). I am very happy with the results of the Phillips Sonicare toothbrush that I have been using religiously for the past 2 weeks. First of all, it is simple to charge (will stay charged for days) and is easy to put together. Secondly, I feel like my teeth and gums have never been cleaner. Once I got over the initial 'tickling' sensation that all Sonicares induce upon contact with the teeth and gums,  I felt like my teeth were noticeably cleaner and whiter - especially in those hard to reach areas. Finally, like most healthy people looking to maintain their oral hygiene at the highest possible level, I feel like when I use a manual toothbrush I sometimes brush a bit too hard, which can lead to gum recession or tooth abrasion along the gumlines. Problem solved with the Phillips Sonicare toothbrush! In conclusion, I would highly recommend the Phillips Sonicare toothbrush to everyone.  If only it could learn to floss my teeth as well!"

From Sonicare:
Few things can bestow confidence like a bright, healthy smile. Now, consumers can achieve a whiter smile simply and naturally with the Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite power toothbrush, a sonic toothbrush specially designed to help whiten teeth. Its unique Clean & White mode, powered by patented sonic technology, switches back and forth between two cleaning frequencies producing alternate waves of speed that effectively remove coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco stains, making teeth as much as two shades whiter in just two weeks. 

“Today, true beauty is recognized as combination of appearance, self-confidence and a healthy lifestyle,” said Eva Ritvo, M.D., co-author of The Beauty Prescription: The Complete Formula for Looking and Feeling Beautiful. “A bright, white smile as a result of good oral health is an excellent way to feel good in all of these categories - brightening your beauty both inside and out.” 

HealthyWhite combines two minutes of cleaning and an extra 30 seconds of whitening power to help achieve good oral health while providing natural whitening benefits. Regular use of Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite removes more plaque than a manual toothbrush and delivers improved gum health by reducing gingivitis and preventing gingival bleeding. 

According to Barbara J. Steinberg, D.D.S., Clinical Professor of Surgery at Drexel University College of Medicine, “Many of my patients are looking for an easy and effective way to whiten their teeth without using harsh chemicals or messy treatments. So, by brushing with Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite twice a day, patients can now be assured they are continually removing everyday stains such as coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco, for a whiter smile, while at the same time improving their oral health. Additionally, HealthyWhite can help extend the results of professional whitening treatments,” Steinberg continued.

They also have demonstrated the ability to increase patient compliance by promoting a consistent oral health and hygiene regimen between dental visits. Philips Sonicare is the number-one power toothbrush brand recommended by U.S. dental professionals.
