Adaptive cleaning technology for a deep yet gentle clean

Adaptive cleaning technology for a deep yet gentle clean

Old habits can be hard to break, except when you're brushing with next generation FlexCare Platinum. Thanks to the innovative AdaptiveClean brush head and intuitive pressure sensor that are at the core of our adaptive cleaning technology, even hard-to-reach trouble spots become easy to care for. The bristles of the AdaptiveClean brush head curve around your teeth and gums for up to 4 x more surface contact** and up to 10 x more plaque removal. If you're brushing too hard, the pressure sensor makes the toothbrush handle gently pulsate so you can be gentle to your gums while being tough on plaque.

Follows the shape of your teeth and gums for a deeper clean

Follows the shape of your teeth and gums for a deeper clean

Our AdaptiveClean brush head is the only electric toothbrush head that can follow the unique shape of your teeth and gums. With soft, flexible sides made of rubber, this brush head can follow every curve. It offers up to 4 x more surface contact and up to 10 x more plaque removal along the gumline and between teeth. As the brush tracks along the gumline, it absorbs any excessive brushing pressure you might apply so you can be gentle on gums however you brush.

Alerts you when you're brushing too hard

Alerts you when you're brushing too hard

You might not notice if you're brushing too hard, but your FlexCare Platinum toothbrush will. If you apply too much pressure, the intuitive pressure sensor will make the toothbrush handle gently vibrate so you know exactly when to adopt a softer touch. In studies, 7 out of 10 aggressive brushers successfully reduced their brushing pressure thanks to the pressure sensor.

Three intensity settings and three cleaning modes

Three intensity settings and three cleaning modes

With three intensity settings and three cleaning modes, FlexCare Platinum offers optimal comfort as you get a truly deep clean. If you need to pay extra attention to trouble spots, the three-minute Deep Clean mode delivers exceptional results. Use Clean mode for a superb everyday clean, or White mode for stain removal. Set the intensity to Low, Medium or High according to your personal preference.

New Deep Clean: Effortlessly tackle trouble spots

New Deep Clean: Effortlessly tackle trouble spots

Our all-new Deep Clean mode delivers an exceptional clean in hard-to-reach places. The unique motion of the brush head in this mode plus an extended three-minute brushing time makes it the ideal choice when you want to pay extra attention to trouble spots.

Dynamic cleaning action for better oral health

Dynamic cleaning action for better oral health

At over 31,000 strokes per minute, next generation FlexCare Platinum delivers a superior clean that you'll both see and feel. The dynamic cleaning action of our sonic technology drives fluid deep between teeth and along the gumline. As your FlexCare Platinum brush gently massages the gums, it stimulates blood circulation and helps to dislodge plaque. You get a powerful yet gentle clean that delivers clinically proven results.

Kill bacteria with the UV brush head sanitiser

Kill bacteria with the UV brush head sanitiser

Keep your brush head really clean with Philips UV sanitising technology. The UV sanitiser that comes with your FlexCare Platinum sonic toothbrush is specifically designed to help kill germs on brush heads. The sanitiser distributes sanitising light around the entire top of the brush head, helping to kill up to 99% of bacteria.

Timers to help encourage thorough brushing
