If you have sensitive teeth or bleeding gums, a smart sensor located on the brush head will alert you to take it a bit easier. Whether your goal is whiter teeth, less plaque, deep cleaning or eliminating halitosis, the Philips DiamondClean Smart Sonicare has you covered and your teeth and mouth will feel amazing.
