Go a step further toward better oral hygiene and health. The Philips Sonicare UV Sanitiser helps safeguard against potentially harmful germs that reside on your electrical toothbrush head. The UV process takes just 10 minutes to sanitise and it will automatically shut off leaving your brush ready for use the next time. Although the UV sanitiser does fit other rechargeable toothbrush heads, it is best suited to the new Sonicare range.
Why Sanitise?
Useful information on this is provided by Philips along with a nice graphical animation.
However, details you should consider in reference to sanitising include:
- Germs on your brush head thrive in its moist environment
- Germs will remain among the debris and plaque left after each brushing
- Germs can remain on a dry brush head for upto 48 hours
- Toothbrush heads can contain roughly 100,000,000 microorgansims (test have shown)
- The sanitiser uses the same UVC methods used in hospitals
