HealthyWhite isn't just a whitening system, but a complete system to ensure the best oral health you can get. Sonicare is the Number 1 recommended brand by dental professionals and uses patented sonic technology to remove plaque and give you that feeling you get after you go to the dentist. The HealthyWhite is clinically proven to remove more plaque than Oral B Triumph, as well as the older Sonicare Essence. The HealthyWhite R732 has mode settings for Clean, Sensitive, and Clean and White. Clean mode provides the standard sonic cleaning; Sensitive mode provides a gentle but thorough cleaning for sensitive gums and teeth; Clean and White mode provides two minutes of Clean mode and then an additional 30 seconds of White mode that focuses on your visible front teeth. New ProResults Brush Heads
Sonicare's new ProResults brush head has contour fit bristles that help increase tooth coverage and is soft and gentle so it won't irritate your gums. Included are two brush head sizes: the standard size is ideal for a complete cleaning, while the compact one is perfect for precision cleaning targeting problematic areas. The HealthyWhite is safe to use on orthodontics, dental work, veneers, implant material, and sensitive teeth. The HealthyWhite ensures a deep clean between teeth and along the gum line. Smartimer and Quadpacer Technology
The Smartimer is a built-in two-minute timer that helps you keep to the recommended brushing times. The Quadpacer gives you notice every thirty seconds so that you can methodically brush each quadrant of your mouth thoroughly. With a design that is 30 percent smaller and lighter than the Sonicare Essence, the HealthyWhite easily goes wherever you go. A travel case and detachable travel charger is included for your convenience. The Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite comes with a 2-year warranty.

 Much easier to clean than older models, and works overseas. |

| Reviewer: Two kids mom, NM United States |
I was first introduced to Sonicare products about 1993. My dentist came back from a
convention and told me that with my dental history (crowns, root canals, and one of the first dental implants) I HAD to have one of these. He set me up on a payment plan for the 250 dollar plus toothbrush. To start using it you had to put in bunch of rings. It tickled like crazy but I got used to it.
Since then I have always had a Sonicare. I always loved them, EXCEPT for keeping them clean. This toothbrush finally addresses those issues.
There is no longer a "ring" collar and a hollow portion in the handle where the magnetic portion of the brush would go. This always got full of gunk and had to be cleaned with a Q-tip. Gunk would also collect between the ring and the brush portion. This problem is eliminated with this new model. The brush head is completely different and simply sticks onto a "spike" that comes out of the top of the brush. There are no crevices for dirt and toothpaste to accumulate. The charging base is also now different, it no longer has an indentation to get dirty. The brush simply sits on a small spike on a flat surface. This, however, does make it easier to knock the toothbrush over, but I will take that for not having to clean out the charger with an old toothbrush.
The toothbrush initially starts with a "ramp up" period, which allows you to get used to the vibrations in your mouth over a few weeks of brushing. If you already have used a Sonicare you can simply put the brush on the base, hold down the button and it will automatically go to full power, you can also reverse this process to re-initialize the toothbrush back to the ramp up mode. If you get the brush and it does not seem as powerful as your old one, you need to skip over this "getting used to it period" by resetting the toothbrush.
The brush head itself is different from my current "Elite" model. This brushhead has a few longer bristles at the top which seem to vibrate faster and clean deeper. That took a little getting used to, I had to switch to the "sensitive" mode for a few of my teeth with extensive dental work. The handle feels more nimble in your hand and the brushhead smaller.
Another great feature, the charger can now be used overseas without a voltage converter. You do need a plug so you can physically plug it in (so the prongs match the prongs in whatever country you are visiting) (like Lenmar AC5 World Travel Adapter/Converter Plug Set) but you do not need a transformer. They don't say this in the product description on Amazon, but it is spelled out in the manual.
I am not sure how to determine if my teeth are whiter. I have been using the "clean and white" except on a few teeth. It would be neat if they included a chart in the box so you could test the "before" and "after". My teeth do not feel any cleaner than when I was using the Sonicare Elite, but my gums do seem to be bleeding less when I floss. I am not sure if that is due to the little extra length fibers on the brushhead or a different vibration pattern.
If you have a more recent Sonicare I would not run out to get this one, but would seriously consider it once you have used up your brushheads. Or hand down your older
model to your kids and upgrade. If you travel a lot, this is the one to get, you can use it without worrying about running out of charge. It is a lot easier to keep clean.
Although I usually do not send in warranty cards I do for Sonicare. They are will send you coupons for money off new brushheads and I also once had one that quit after 7 months. I called them, they looked up my warranty and sent me a new one in the mail right away.

My Second Sonicare

| Reviewer: Kort Kramer, South Florida, USA |
I was given a Sonicare Elite toothbrush as a gift about seven years ago. Whenever I needed a thorough cleaning of my teeth I would be sure to use it. Its battery finally gave out about a year and a half ago and I held off on getting another because of the cost. If not for the triple digit price tag, I probably would have purchased another.
This week I was fortunate enough to get the latest and greatest Sonicare HealthyWhite Power Toothbrush through the Amazon Vine program. Good thing too, because the $110+ price tag would probably have deterred me from buying it on my own. But don't get me wrong, it is worth the money if within you budget. No manual or cheapo battery-powered regular toothbrush cleans as well as the Sonicare line. My wife says it is like being in the hands of a dental assistant -- the cleaning is that thorough and sensations very similar.
The new HealthyWhite is definitely a step up in quality. I don't know if it will whiten my teeth by two shades in two weeks, but it sure feels like it will. The build quality is excellent and cleaning motions very powerful. I really like the built-in timer that pauses briefly to let you know to clean a different section of your mouth. Each segment is about 30 seconds, plenty of time with a brush this effective. There are three different modes; Clean, Sensitive, and Clean and White. The first is a standard 4 segment cleaning, the second is a more gentle mode for sensitive gums and teeth, and the third has an extra 30 seconds for focusing on your front teeth or even your tongue. Out of the three, I like the extra time of Clean and White mode the best. One thing to add is that you don't need as much toothpaste with this brush as it really foams up with a small amount.
The travel case is nice, though I will probably just use a standard toothbrush when traveling. The base is compact and holds the brush two brush heads. The second smaller head is useful for getting hard to reach spots.
Pros: Well, just read above. It was ready to go right out of the box. This is the most impressive Sonicare I have ever used and probably the most effective tooth cleaning experience outside a dentist's office.
Cons: There are some but nothing severe enough to make me dislike this toothbrush.
1. The cost is a bit high for your average Joe.
2. They recommend replacing brush heads ever three months. A 3-pack is currently about $27 -- not cheap by any standard. At least you get a coupon in the box that is good towards a free brush head or $10 off a future brush purchase (good until the end of 2008).
3. The shape of the brush head is a little strange ... it is taking some getting used to. It does work though.
4. The vibration of the brush can be a bit intense for some people. I remember that it took me a while to get used to my first Sonicare. I did fairly quickly though and don't mind it a bit now.
5. I wish there was a way to turn off the timer so that it would not automatically shut off after completing a brushing cycle.
6. The tough interior clamshell packaging took a while to get open.
The Sonicare HealthyWhite Power Toothbrush is a top of the line brush. Its initial cost and cost of the brush heads might scare off some, but if you want really clean and white teeth, you can't do much better than this. 4 1/2 stars. |
I use Sonicare and this one Surprised Me

| I have been using Philips sonicare for over eight years, close as I can approximate. I just recently purchased a Philips Sonicare R732 HealthyWhite Toothbrush. I have owned two models prior to this one of which was the 'essence'. Reading some of the reviews I was hesitant to purchase this particular model. I disregarded some of the reviews and I'm very happy that I upgraded to this particular model. Sonicare, I can actually say based on my dentists queries has saved my gums and teeth over the past few years. I am exceedingly impressed with the capability, quality and power of this particular model under review; it's cleaning power far exceeds the prior model that I owned. This model is easier to hold with its slimmer handle, appears to have greater charge capacity and the new toothbrush design supersedes prior versions. I am exceedingly happy and satisfied with this model. As usual I am also happy with Amazon's service and shipment of anything that I order from their website. I will have to give Philips customer service a call because I am used to brushing my teeth in the shower (so much easier) and the prior versions were able to be used in the shower, and with this model I am not sure whether that still holds true. In summation this is the best sonicare I've owned to date and it's cleaning power far supersedes the predecessors I have owned over the past eight years or so. |

I've already had the 'Sonicare Elite' toothbrush for some time now, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from the new 'R732' as I couldn't imagine that there could've been that much of an improvement. HOLY SMELLY SUBSTANCE IN A BURNING BAG WAS I EVER SURPRISED!!! Not only is this new version every bit as good as the 'Elite' brush, but it really is better! As stated in the product info, this new brush is for "healthy whitening", and with myself being not only a smoker, but a coffee drinker as well you could say I'm a good judge when it comes to whitening. Not to say I've got a green, snaggly, rotten mouth, but I can see a difference. The only thing people may have issue with is the vibration from the tooth brush while in use. It really tickles on your teeth & used to make me kinda nausious (not to say the brush will make everyone nausited, that happens to me with anything that vibrates, don't know, I'm just weird). I was used to it within a couple days with my old 'Elite' & didn't have any problems at all with this one.
Bottom line, if you're a coffee drinker, a tobacco user or even just someone who likes a clean mouth, YOU NEED THIS BRUSH!!! Don't waste your hard earned economically depressed money on phoney (spellcheck?), cheap knock-off, immitations or painful, damaging, whitening technics. Put your money on this product & know you're getting something of quality that'll last. I loved my 'Elite' & I know I'm gonna love this new brush just as much if not more. You get what you pay for, & trust me once you try yours you'll wish you'd gotten one years ago. Bite the bullet & buy this brush, you'll be glad you did & your mouth will thank you almost immidiately after |
Fabulous Dental Care... With Whitening, Too!

When I got this toothbrush, I was not already a fan of Phillips toothbrushes, as I'd been more familiar with a different brand. While the elongated toothbrush head with its variegated bristles making a wave shape seemed odd to me at first, I have quickly learned to love how well this toothbrush works. I read through the instruction manual first, to make sure I knew how to correctly operate it, but this was hardly necessary, as a simple touch on the toothbrush button moves it from one mode to another, so it's possible to simply brush one's teeth... or to do so with the gentle setting... or to click through to the third setting and select tooth whitening.
I'm thrilled with the Phillips Sonicare HealthyWhite whitening ability, as results are actually very obvious in just a couple days of use. The instruction manual suggests that results can be clearly seen in a week, but in the case of anyone whose teeth have yellowed a fair amount, it's likely that improvement will be very obvious in half that time.
I love the timed beeps that indicate how long to brush each section of teeth... 30 seconds for the top outside, 30 seconds for the top inside, 30 seconds for the bottom outside, 30 seconds for the bottom inside, and then 15 seconds each for the top front and bottom front for whitening. It's marvelous to have the toothbrush indicate it's time to switch, and fun and easy, too!
The only area that has room for improvement for this product is that there is no covered storage unit for brush heads provided on the toothbrush stand. This simply means that the brush head will be sitting out in open air, unless you've got another way to store it, such as in the Philips Sonicare toothbrush sanitizing unit, which I also highly recommend. |
