Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I replace my toothbrush head?
A: Dental professionals recommend replacing your toothbrush every 3-4 months, or earlier, if the bristles become spread out or frayed. When bristles are worn out, cleaning effectiveness decreases.
Q: What’s the difference between Dual Clean and other Oral-B electric toothbrush heads?
A: Each Oral-B electric toothbrush head focuses on a slightly different type of cleaning. The Dual Clean features one brush head that rotates and another that moves side-to-side. Sensitive offers gentle, yet effective, cleaning. ProWhite features a dentist-inspired polishing cup to remove surface stains. The Floss Action brush head has MicroPulse bristles that penetrate deep between teeth to sweep away plaque for a floss-like clean (does not replace flossing). Deep Sweep bristles sweep side to side to power away plaque and allow you to brush as you would with a manual toothbrush. Precision Clean is specially designed for precision cleaning and more plaque removal along the gumline than a regular manual toothbrush. Power Tip cleans between teeth and around bridges, crowns, and implants. Ortho is designed to safely clean around braces.
Q: What brush handles are compatible with the Dual Clean brush head?
A: The Dual Clean replacement brush head works with Oral-B Triumph, Oral-B SmartSeries, Oral-B PRO, Oral-B Vitality (except for Vitality Sonic), and Oral-B Pro-Health Power.
