Waterpik Original Sonic Electric Toothbrush Burst White SG-987

What It Is & Who It Serves

The Waterpik Original Sonic Electric Toothbrush Burst White SG-987 is a rechargeable sonic toothbrush designed for adults who want a deeper clean than a manual brush can provide. It delivers 33000 sonic vibrations per minute using soft, multi-length PBT nylon bristles that are gentle on gums and enamel. The brush includes a two-minute timer that pauses every 30 seconds to guide quadrant changes. Three modes — Whitening, Sensitive, and Massage — let users tailor the experience to their daily needs.

Capacity & Headroom

A full charge takes 24 hours and provides up to 4 weeks of regular use, making the brush convenient for travel without carrying the charger. Clinical testing shows the brush removes up to 10x more plaque and reduces gum bleeding 3x compared to a manual toothbrush, with healthier gums reported in 2 weeks. The soft bristle texture and interdental-cut design reach between teeth effectively, but the single brush head supplied means a replacement will be needed over time.

Practical Limits

The brush relies on sonic vibration rather than oscillation or rotation, so users accustomed to a different mechanical action may need a short adjustment period. Recharging requires the supplied USB charger and takes a full day, so forgetting to charge overnight cannot be remedied quickly. The timer is fixed at two minutes with 30-second intervals and cannot be customised. The product is sold as a single unit; additional brush heads, water flossers, or whitening strips are separate purchases.
