Product Information
Full details
The Philips Sonicare 3000 Series is an essential electric toothbrush designed for adults seeking an effortless transition to electric brushing and superior plaque removal. Its key benefit is up to 5x more plaque removal compared to a manual toothbrush, thanks to its Sonicare Fluid Action and densely packed bristles. A potential caveat for new users is the Easy Start feature, which gradually increases brushing power, requiring a short adjustment period.

A fully charged toothbrush can provide up to 14 days of regular brushing (two times a day for two minutes).
Can I use this toothbrush if I have sensitive gums?

Troubleshooting
Toothbrush won't turn on.
Ensure the toothbrush is charged. Place it on the charger and check if the battery indicator light illuminates. If it still doesn't turn on, try a different power outlet.
Low vibration or power.
Check if the brush head is properly attached. If the battery is low, place the toothbrush on the charger. Ensure the brush head is clean and free of debris.
Pressure sensor is not working.
Ensure the brush head is correctly attached. The sensor may not activate if very little pressure is applied. Clean the area around the sensor if debris is present.
Battery not charging.
Ensure the charger is plugged into a working outlet and that the toothbrush is properly seated on the charging base. Clean the charging contacts on both the handle and the charger.
Excessive noise or vibration.
This is normal for a sonic toothbrush. If the noise is unusual or excessively loud, ensure the brush head is securely attached and clean.
