Which heads fit the Sonicare ProtectiveClean?
The Sonicare ProtectiveClean takes Sonicare click-on heads. At ÉclatDent, 3 types of heads list it on their product page: DiamondClean type, gum care type, gentle brushing and C3 type with soft contour. Neither Philips One heads nor older screw-on heads fit it.
Our product pages list the ProtectiveClean 4100, 5300, 6100 and 6500, and references HX6810 to HX6877.
How to find your toothbrush’s reference
The handle reference starts with “HX” followed by digits (for example HX6857); it is written under the handle. You can also tell the system by feel: a current Sonicare head clicks on and pulls off, whereas older models had a screw-on head, which is not compatible.
The lit-up markers show where to look on your model. Write down what you read before ordering, and send it to us if in doubt.
On your current head: a head that clicks on and comes off by pulling. A screwed-on head means an older model, not compatible.
Under the handle: “HX” followed by four digits, for example HX6857.
When to replace the head
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends replacing your toothbrush, or its head, approximately every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become matted or frayed. At that pace, a pack of 4 heads lasts about a year for one person. If several people share one handle, each keeps their own head: one colour per person avoids mix-ups.
Frequently asked questions
Sonicare ProtectiveClean: which heads should I choose?
At ÉclatDent, 3 types of heads list it on their product page: DiamondClean type, gum care type, gentle brushing and C3 type with soft contour. Neither Philips One heads nor older screw-on heads fit it.
Sonicare ProtectiveClean: do Philips One heads fit it?
No. The Philips One has its own heads, in a different format. Sonicare click-on heads do not fit a Philips One, and vice versa.
Are these heads made by Philips?
No. They are generic compatible heads: another manufacturer makes them to fit these handles. They are neither made nor endorsed by Philips, whose name is only mentioned to show compatibility.
How often should I change the head?
Approximately every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become matted or frayed: this is the American Dental Association (ADA) recommendation. A pack of 4 heads therefore lasts about a year for one person.
