Product Information

Full details

The Philips Sonicare 4000 Series rechargeable toothbrush is designed for adults seeking an effortless upgrade from manual brushing to electric. Its primary benefit is removing up to 5 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush, thanks to advanced Sonicare technology. A potential consideration is its essential feature set, lacking some of the advanced customization found in higher-end models. Key features include two brushing modes, two intensity settings, a pressure sensor, and integrated timers.

FAQs

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

A full charge typically provides up to 504 hours of brushing, which equates to approximately two weeks of regular use (twice a day for two minutes).

How often should I replace the brush head?

It is recommended to replace the brush head every three months for optimal performance. You should also replace it sooner if the bristles become visibly worn or frayed.

What is the difference between the two brushing modes?

The 'Daily care' mode is for everyday effective plaque removal, while the 'Gum care' mode provides gentle stimulation to improve gum health.

Does this toothbrush have a pressure sensor?

Yes, the Philips Sonicare 4000 Series features a built-in pressure sensor that alerts you with a gentle vibration if you are brushing too hard.

Can I use this toothbrush with braces?

Yes, electric toothbrushes like the Sonicare 4000 Series can be effective for cleaning around braces. However, it's always best to consult your orthodontist for specific cleaning recommendations.

What is the purpose of the EasyStart program?

The EasyStart program gradually increases the brushing power over the first 14 uses, helping users adapt to the sensation of electric brushing.

Is the charger included with the toothbrush?

Yes, a charging base and power cord are included with the Philips Sonicare 4000 Series toothbrush.

Troubleshooting

Toothbrush not turning on

Ensure the toothbrush is adequately charged. Place it on the charging base for at least 24 hours. Check that the charger is properly plugged in and the outlet is functional.

Reduced vibration or cleaning power

The brush head may need replacement. Try attaching a new brush head. Ensure the brush head is properly seated on the handle.

Pressure sensor not activating

Ensure the brush head is correctly attached. The sensor may be less sensitive if brushing very lightly. Try applying slightly more pressure to test its function.

Toothbrush not charging

Verify the charger is plugged in correctly. Clean the charging contacts on both the toothbrush base and the charger. Try a different power outlet.

Excessive noise or vibration

Check that the brush head is securely attached. If the noise persists with a new brush head, contact customer support.
