Amazon.com Product Description
The Sonicare Elite 9500 Custom Care Power Toothbrush is built for your individual oral care needs. Just like a smile, no two mouths are the same. That's why the Sonicare Elite 9500 is designed with the new Custom Care System, offering two speeds and two brush head sizes for more individualized brushing. The Elite 9500 has patented sonic technology, high-speed bristle motion, and dynamic fluid cleaning action that gently and effectively reaches deep between teeth and below the gumline.



The Elite 9500 is built for your individual oral care needs.


31,000 bristle sweeps per minute removes harmful plaque.
Sonicare is the only Sonic toothbrush with a slim angled neck, contoured-fit bristles and ultra high speed bristle speed for greater plaque removal in hard to reach areas. Plus, Sonicare is the #1 personally used and recommended brand by U. S. dental professionals.

Building better health into every Sonicare.
The mouth is the gateway to your body. It is increasingly being identified as a vulnerable entry point for bacteria associated with serious medical conditions. Evidence also continues to emerge that shows a link between gum disease and a variety of systemic conditions, including diabetes, heart attack and stroke, and the occurrence of pre-term low birth weight babies. So it's essential that when you think of total body health you include your mouth by focusing on gum disease prevention.

Philips Oral Healthcare is dedicated to developing innovations that result in superior oral health and, therefore, can help improve and maintain overall health.

About Sonicare's Patented Technology and Custom Care System
Sonicare's unique patented combination of high speed bristle motion with extra wide sweeping motion creates effective, yet gentle dynamic fluid cleaning action. So you get superior plaque removal, especially in hard-to-reach areas, deep between teeth and below the gumline. In fact, this technology generates 31,000 bristle sweeps per minute, and laboratory studies show that it removes harmful plaque bacteria up to four millimeters beyond the bristle tips -- even below the gum-line. With the Sonicare 9500 in hand, you can count on naturally whiter teeth and healthier gums.

Sonicare -- Use it for your mouth, use it for your body
Diabetes: Studies have shown that people with diabetes are more susceptible to oral infections and gum disease than those without diabetes. The Sonicare toothbrush is proven to reduce gingivitis, contributing to better oral health and, therefore, better overall health.

Cardiovascular: People with severe gum disease may have up to double the risk of stroke or heart attack. And Sonicare is clinically proven to reduce plaque, the root cause of gum disease, making Sonicare an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Pre-term low birth weight: When severe gum disease is present, some women are up to seven times more likely to deliver a pre-term low birth weight baby. And Sonicare toothbrushes are clinically proven to reduce gingivitis, so they can significantly improve oral health for better overall health.

5 out of 5 stars My battery finally died after SIX YEARS...   May 5, 2006
John (Southern California)

The only difference I can see between my new 9500 and the 7500/7300 models (about $20 cheaper if you can still find one) is that it comes with two different brush sizes. Replacement brushes are available in drug stores, Wal Marts, Target, and some grocery stores. It has two power settings. By default, it beeps at 30-second intervals and shuts off after two minutes so you can "do" your teeth by quadrants. All the "programmable timer" feature amounts to is the option of running for an extra 30-second interval, or turning the timer off entirely so that it's just on/off. The "easy start" feature, enabled out of the box, gradually increases power over the first fourteen brushings.

(August, 2006: Note that there is now a 9800 model with the same features as this one currently selling on Amazon for LESS. That is the one to get.)

My turn-of-the-century Sonicare would run a *good* two weeks on a charge with just me using it, and this one does too (more like three!). The instructions (then and now) say to leave it in the charger when not in use, but I always unplugged it to run the battery all the way down before re-charging; I think that's why it lasted so long. These have a good old fashioned nickel-cadmium battery and they only have so many charge cycles. I suspect the manufacturer doesn't want that getting around because their revenue stream would atrophy if everyone went this long before buying a replacement.

One nice thing about these new-generation Sonicares: smaller brushes and dramatically less splatter. The brush of my Y2K model looked like a standard manual toothbrush and some splatter was inevitable with that thing; I would remove my shirt or drape a towel over my shoulders to avoid getting festooned with micro-flecks of toothpaste. But not with this one! Plus, it hardly weighs anything at all; it's like holding a spoon.

My dentist turned me on and still recommends this brand today. (I brush for the whole two minutes and he recommends not doing that more than once per day and with a gentle, ordinary toothpaste as opposed to a whitener.) Money well spent --I haven't had a cavity in all those years. Never thought much about my gums, but they are nice & pink & clean & tight, like in the ad photos. Sonicare gives you 60 days to send it back if you don't like it.

Tip for newbies: Stand in the shower so that you don't splatter toothpaste all over the bathroom! Have fun! :-)



5 out of 5 stars It's a must buy   July 10, 2006

Comparing this with Oral-B, Sonicare is more powerful, giving you versitility to move around the mouth. As a man and as a regular guy who has been using the regular tooth bush since childhood, I couln't help moving any electronic tools up and down and left and right in the mouth. With Oral-B, you can't do that, you feel it's not right doing it. But Sonicare makes that easy. I love it.

I'm a regular tea drinker, my teeth look brigher after using it comparing 5 years using the Oral-B.

I have used Sonicare in the past, and it really helped improve the state of my gums. They no longer bleed when I brush them. This product is even better than my old one. Highly recommended. My only gripe is that the battery can not be replaced so that when it goes, you have to purchase a new one. Mine lasted about 6 years.


5 out of 5 stars A Really Good Toothbrush!   April 18, 2007

I got one of these for me, and a month later got one for my daughter. I had been using an electric toothbrush for quite some time and had seen the reviews for this Sonic toothbrush and I had herd how much better these were for your teeth and gums.

Well, I wish I had gotten one sooner! As soon as I got it and charged it up it starts on the gentle cycle (works it's way up to get you used to it) and right away my teeth felt so much cleaner, and my gums felt more massaged than with an electric toothbrush. I use this along with the Waterpik Power Flosser and my teeth and gums have never felt or looked better. I highly recommend these products to everyone!!

The downside is the cost of the replacement heads (average $23.00), but you get a package of 2 and you only have to replace them every 6 months-so 1 pkg will last you a year. The toothbrush comes with 2 size heads-1 small and 1 regular sized. You can reduce the wear of your brush heads by NOT pressing hard when you brush-it's a hard habit to break after using standard and regular electric toothbrushes, but I've learned (slowly). The sonic power is what delivers the punch to get those teeth sparking clean!!



5 out of 5 stars THIS TOOTHBRUSH ROCKS!!!   June 19, 2006

It shipped on the 15th and it arrived on the 17th with free shipping from Amazon.com! After letting it charge for the required 24 hours I finally got to try it out and I have to say it is THE BEST TOOTHBRUSHING I'VE EVER HAD! I was just diagnosed with advanced periodontal disease which probably means I'm going to lose most of my teeth, but I plan on donating this to my husband...heck, I may even buy him one of his own. Anyone out there who's looking into an electric toothbrush, if you can afford this, it is so totally worth the investment! The only thing better would be to have a free teeth cleaning once a week!
