Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 Electric Toothbrush - Navy Blue

Q: Is the toothbrush charged on a Plug in base?
A: Yes, the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 charges on a plug-in charging base.

Q: It says it's a "whitening" electric toothbrush, what toothpaste is needed to whiten our teeth?
A: The “whitening” referred to with this toothbrush refers to the optional whitening brush head and whitening mode option on the handle. These will only reduce extrinsic stains like coffee, tobacco, red wine, etc that are deposited on the enamel. They are not really effective against intrinsic stains that exist within the enamel like those caused by tetracycline. You can use any regular or whitening toothpaste you want. Many whitening toothpastes are more abrasive than regular pastes, so your dental professional might have advice on whether they are good in your case. Receeded gums with exposed roots may be one reason to use caution with or avoid whitening toothpastes, since root surfaces are not covered with enamel and are softer than the crowns of the teeth.

Q: Is the handle rubber or smooth plastic surface?
A: The handle for this Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is plastic.

Q: Is the Philips ProtectiveClean 6100 waterproof or water-resistant and which one is it?
