I’m going to be frank: if you still use a manual toothbrush, it’s time to change your routine. Electric toothbrushes deliver a level of deep cleaning that can’t be duplicated by the old-fashioned kind—and Philips Sonicare is the best brand on the market when it comes to getting gleaming, plaque-free teeth and healthy gums.

Today only, Amazon is offering one of its top-selling smart toothbrushes, the Philips Sonicare Flexcare Platinum, for a whopping 45 percent off. Bring your oral hygiene to the next level without breaking the bank by scoring this handy device at a fraction of the price.

Sonicare’s advanced sonic technology lets the brush get in all the nooks and crannies—between your teeth, along the gum line—to fight off bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease. At 31,000 (!) strokes per minute, this kind of action just can’t be achieved by hand, so it’s the closest you can get to a professional cleaning at home.

The Philips Sonicare Flexcare Platinum takes things to the next level, though, with intuitive pressure sensors that tell you to ease up if you’re brushing too hard by triggering a gentle vibration in the handle. That way, the toothbrush can remove everything it needs to without damaging your gums and enamel—and its built-in timer makes sure you brush for the required two minutes, not more or less.

The device has a sleek look, too, and that’s by design. An AdaptiveClean brush head is built to conform to the unique shape of your teeth and gums. It’s even customizable, with two separate modes (clean and white) and three different intensities. Set it to Deep Clean mode for three minutes of intense cleansing or White Mode for stain removal.

“There simply is no comparison between the results of a manual brush versus this Sonicare. They are in two different leagues altogether,” wrote one first-time Sonicare customer. “With the first pass you can feel the Sonicare washing away the crud on your teeth and gums like you have never experienced before. Reminds me of power washing my driveway. Night and day! When done, my mouth is squeaky clean. And it feels squeaky clean. Am I confident this improves my oral health? You better believe it!...The cost of this toothbrush is a fraction of a smartphone so get your priorities straight and get one of these things NOW!”

“My teeth have never felt cleaner. Feels like I just got my teeth cleaned at the dentist. I made everyone in my family get one,” wrote another fan. “The charge lasts really really long so I can take it on my vacations. I also really appreciated the carrying case.”

Jump on this deal and score this genius toothbrush for almost half the price. It might be the best long-term health investment you’ll make all year—and the year is just beginning!
