Superior Cleaning and Whitening with One Toothbrush
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 has two mode settings–Clean, and Clean and White. Clean mode provides the standard sonic cleaning. 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 Head
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. In fact, 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’s 30 percent smaller and lighter than the Sonicare Essence, the HealthyWhite easily goes wherever you go. A travel charger is included. The Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite comes with a 2-year warranty.

The batteries on my old Sonicare Elite (E-series) died on me, so I decided to get a new one. The R710 has several incremental upgrades which are worth the difference in price.
First and foremost, like the FlexCare line, it uses the ProResults head. This alone is worth the price difference. They snap in easily, they cost less, and the handle traps much less gunk than before. Sold. I’m still waiting to see how long they last, my guess is about the same.
In addition to the regular cleaning cycle, the R710 has a second cycle designed to scrub away stains. It’s selected by pushing the power button twice. In this mode, the 5th (last) interval of the normal cycle is pulsed in a way that’s supposed to break up stains on your visible teeth. Note that after this interval, the brush stops. If you still want to brush your tongue or concentrate on hard-to-reach areas, you’ll have to push the power button again.
The R710 now also comes with a Li-ion battery, meaning a noticeable decrease in weight as well an increase in battery life. The charger is about half the size of the Elite’s, but it doesn’t have anywhere to wrap the cord like the deluxe charger on the Flexcare. It comes with a little plate that holds two extra heads though. The charge indicator is a simple LED. If it’s blinking, it’s below 50%; if it’s solid, then it’s above. Maybe not as informative or fun to watch as the Elite or FlexCare, but it does the job.
In short, if you want a good basic Sonicare, this is the one to get. It has all the great redesigned features of the FlexCare but less of the (IMO gimmicky) extra routines and modes. If you have sensitive teeth, check out the R732. For an extra $20, it also comes with a few extra accessories like a case and deluxe charger.

Great Toothbrush
This toothbrush works great. I have been using for a month now and my teeth have never been cleaner. The only con I can see to this tooth brush is the brush life.

I’ve owned two generations of Sonicares previous to this one – a first generation basic model way back, and an elite 5500 (?) that got the more natural slanted shaft and got rid of awkward plastic tab behind the brush of the 1st gen. Neither one died on me, both lasted years.
From the E-series to the R-series (710), the major upgrades seem to be:
-Cheaper, better, simpler and smaller replacement brushes. No longer complicated screw-on affairs, the brushes just get pushed on a vibrating bolt, for lack of a better term. There are a lot less places for disgusting gunk to build up and easier clean up. Take much less time to switch heads, if you have to share them (or if the kids have to). They are slightly cheaper to replace, natural as it seems a lot less complicated design.
-Charger base is smaller, same bolt on design as brush head.
-Setting for tooth whitening. Wilder pulsing basically.
-Sleeker, smaller, more comfortable body.
I only moved from the E-series because I orignally bought it as a 2-for-1 special with a family member who eventually moved out and it only came with one base charger. An extra (replacement) one would have cost nearly $45 with shipping + replacement brush head for at least $13, might as well buy a new set at that point.
If you have a Sonicare already, it’s probably most economical to stay with yours till it dies as none of the features are revolutionary. Still, I probably like the brush head redesign and resulting cleanliness/lack-of-gunk the best.

Dentist clean, everyday!
My dentist originally told me to steer clear of the rotating brushes to clean your teeth, not much more than taking sandpaper to your teeth.

This is a great toothbrush. But it is a toothbrush..I’m just not sure it’s worth a hundred dollars. I’ve had the little cheapie electric toothbrushes and I wouldn’t say this is 20 times better. One thing for sure – your teeth really feel clean when you’re done. The timer is great in making you take the time to do it right. Not sure about the extra ‘whitening’ phase. As far as I can tell, it’s just extra time, not a different mode altogether. So if you’re looking to save money, maybe the basic model would be your best option.

Best Toothbrush on the market
My first sonicare toothbrush finally died after 10+ years (would no longer hold a charge) So, I tried a couple of the competitors and did not have that same superior clean…

Squeaky Clean
I received this tooth brush as a replacement. The Customer Service at Sonicare was very efficient and professional.

Better to heed the warning
The brush head on the Phillip R710 Healthy White vibrates off as you are using it. I got hit in the eye with it. I put it back on and it again came flying off again.

More powerful than old E-series
I bought my first Sonicare toothbrush back in 2002, an original E-series, and I used it until it wouldn’t recharge any more, which was about Christmas 2008.

Love Love Love it
I have been using this product for about 6 years and I have not had any dental issues. The dentist always comments on how clean my teeth are.

Whiter I am!
I got this toothbrush as a Christmas gift and love it! It is my first sonic brush – but I will never go back to hand brushing again!

Spare your change!
The brush head pops out of the shaft after a few weeks, making it impossible to brush without the thing disintegrating in the middle of a brush cycle.
