The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 is like having a little dental hygienist living in your bathroom.

And wouldn’t you know it: This Black Friday, Amazon has marked it down to $60, which is a good $50 off its usual price of $110..

Plus, it comes with three brush heads, meaning you’re set for most of the year.

Effective cleaning for sparkling, dazzling teeth

This electric toothbrush has something for everyone, making it a great option for ensuring your teeth are sparkling clean. Do you have sensitive gums? There is a mode for that. Fight coffee stains? There is a whitening mode. All you need to do is provide toothpaste and brush over all the important spots. Then your reward for your diligence is a whole mouth full of sparkling, sparkling teeth with a superior clean that looks much more thorough than you’d get with a basic toothbrush.

Just want a basic cleaning? Yes, there is a mode for that too. The pressure sensor is particularly smart: it tells you when you’re going too hard, which helps protect your gums from overzealous morning brushing. And unlike some electric toothbrushes that turn off after a few days, this one lasts two weeks on a single charge, perfect for trips where you might forget the charger.

Anyone who has been told they brush too hard at the dentist can use this brush, as can anyone who wants to improve their oral care without spending hundreds. The included travel case is also actually decent, not just a flimsy plastic afterthought.

At $59.96, it’s a pretty solid investment to keep your dentist happy during your next checkup. And let’s be honest, anything that makes dental visits less stressful is worth considering. Don’t get too attached to the gentle buzzing, as you might start to miss it when you’re away from home.
