Philips Sonicare Series 7100 review

The Series 7100 is the Philips to look at if your dentist has mentioned bleeding or receding gums. It ships with the G3 Gum Health brush head, whose outer bristles keep brushing the gum line while you focus on the teeth, and Philips claims up to 600% healthier gums in two weeks plus up to 1000% more plaque removal than a manual brush. The motor is the same Next-Generation Sonicare Technology as the Series 5700, at 62,000 bristle movements per minute with automatic power adjustment. You get 4 brush modes and 3 intensities, and the pressure sensor is a light ring at the base that glows when you push too hard. The regular price is $159.96, with $134.96 on sale in November 2026. That is double the Series 5700's list price for a different head, two more modes and a visual sensor, and there is still no app. Most buyers without gum concerns will do fine with the 5700.
