Sonicare

Vibrating dental brand

Sonicare is a brand of electric toothbrush that uses sonic vibrations to clean teeth.

The name has become somewhat generic for high-end powered toothbrushes: I need to replace the head on my Sonicare.

Owned by Philips, it competes with Oral-B as the dominant choice in premium dental care.
