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. Sonicare Elite 9500 Features

What a pleasant difference! November 26, 2008 My dentist recommended a Sonicare toothbrush to me as a way to keep my teeth as clean as possible between 6 month checkups. What a difference this toothbrush makes! I used to spend at least 10 minutes meticulously brushing my teeth with a regular toothbrush, but still had plaque build-up in certain areas. With the Sonicare, I've been able to reduce my brushing time to 2 minutes (using the built-in timing program of the Elite e9500), and yet have a much cleaner mouth than before. Even my wife has commented on how quickly I'm finished with my night-time routine. I initially tried to use the Sonicare in a similar fashion to a regular brush, but ended up with some abrasions on my gum - yes, you CAN get too much of a good thing. :) At that point, I decided to trust the built-in timing program, and use it as a guide. I'm still amazed at how well it works. I've also found I use much less toothpaste due to the smaller 'regular' head. I haven't tried the compact head, since the regular head is smallish, but the regular head provides just enough coverage.
After having read others complain about battery life and keeping the Sonicare clean, I've made sure to only put the unit in the charger when needed (about every 2-3 weeks or so), and I keep it angled up slightly so I don't get toothpaste down the handle (easily prevented). I only use it once a day (using my regular brush in the morning), and find that's more than enough to keep that 'fresh from the dentist' feeling.
clean mouth feeling November 19, 2008 I am using my Sonicare toothbrush at least once a day and certainly like the clean feeling it leaves in my mouth. It is easy to understand the directions for using it. Another feature, after the intial charging, it is always ready to be used.

Seems to be doing the job of getting rid of plaque but I won't know this until my next periodontal visit.
I see that when switching brushes because I was using the smaller for hard to reach place, the inside of the handle and the inside of the brush attachment held slimy liquid with a horrible odor. Why does this happen? and maybe there should be instructions on how to disinfect, other than investing in an additional accessory.

Philips Sonicare Elite e9500 Custom Care Power ToothbrushThis is a great product. The battery once charged lasts a very long time. This is the best performing electric toothbrush I've ever used. After each use I feel as though I just received a proper dental cleaning by my dentist.
Good, bad and not elite November 8, 2008 I've used this product for about five weeks and rate it as good, but not "elite" as the product name indicates. In fact, I've even considered returning it. While it seems to do an outstanding job of cleaning teeth, the vibration is strong and very disconcerting when the handle or back of the brush hits your teeth. The spray is fine but profuse, so you really need to close your mouth almost completely to prevent the spray from covering everything within a foot or two. Thus, it's difficult to keep the handle or back of the brush from hitting the teeth. I haven't encountered the build-up of fluid and debris in the toothbrush. However, the brush attachment frequently comes loose from the base while brushing the teeth -- which is particularly annoying! I've used an Oral-B for years and am likely to return to their toothbrushes rather than Phillips.
