Electric Toothbrushes

Many people find an electric toothbrush makes thorough brushing easier, since the brush head does the movement while you guide it around each tooth. Many models also include a timer to help you brush for the two minutes dentists commonly recommend. Good technique still matters with any toothbrush, so ask your dentist what suits your teeth and gums.

Dental professionals commonly recommend replacing the brush head about every three months, or sooner if the bristles look frayed or splayed, and also after an illness. Worn bristles clean less effectively. Make sure you choose replacement heads that fit your Oral-B handle, and check the product page or packaging for compatibility.

Place the handle on the charger supplied and follow the manual for the first charge. After brushing, rinse the brush head under running water and let it air dry upright. Every few days, remove the head and rinse the connection area to stop toothpaste building up. Keep the charger dry and away from the edge of the sink.

Family members can share a handle as long as each person uses their own brush head, which keeps things hygienic. Label or color-code the heads so nobody mixes them up, and store them so they do not touch. Children should use a brush and head suitable for their age, so check the product page for the intended user.

Every Oral-B electric toothbrush we sell comes with the manufacturer's warranty. Warranty terms range from 1 to 10 years depending on the product and the manufacturer, and we pass them on transparently, exactly as supplied.
