Important questions about plug -in brushes

How do I swap the brush head of the electric toothbrush?

The plug -in brush is simply pulled off.Then the new brush is pushed onto the corresponding device on the handpiece.You notice whether the brush head is stuck.In order for the electric toothbrush to work at all, the brush head must sit correctly.

Which plug -in brushes fit on which toothbrush?

When buying plug -in brushes, make sure that the product is suitable for the plug -in system of your electrical toothbrush.You can always find corresponding information in the product description or on the packaging.So the brushes for oral-B toothbrushes do not fit on the handpieces of Philips.

At Oral-B, the replacement brushes can be combined with all devices of the brand-only the Pulsonic sound toothbrush needs other brush heads.

How long hold up brushes and when should I change them?

Dental care experts and dentists recommend exchanging the brush head of an electric toothbrush every three months.Some manufacturers such as Philips offer UV cleaning stations for brush heads.But even despite this "cleaning" you should replace the plug -in brushes regularly.

As soon as the brushes of the plug -in brush bend outwards, it's time to put on a new brush head.If the bristles bend outwards earlier, they probably clean with too much pressure.For teeth and gums, however, it is advisable to put on the brush head only with little pressure.

Incidentally, you should also change your brushes if you were sick.Because in the bristles, viruses and bacteria can accumulate, which could put them in again by brushing their teeth.

What is the difference between round and elongated plug brushes?

Round plug brushes clean every tooth thoroughly.Due to the small brush head, the toothbrush can be better controlled, which is particularly advantageous for sensitive teeth or in the event of problems with the gums.

The elongated brush head - in use for sound toothbrushes - is advantageous for problems with coverings, for example in the event of tartar infestation.Here, effective pressure on the teeth is generated with little effort.

Are there any special plug brushes for braces?

As a rule, teeth with stuck braces can also be cleaned with an ordinary brush head.Oral-B has a special brush head that is optimized for brushing your teeth with fixed braces.
