FAQs

Are these brush heads compatible with all Oral-B electric toothbrushes?

No, these iO Gentle Care refill heads are specifically designed for and compatible only with Oral-B iO series electric toothbrush handles.

How often should I replace the Oral-B iO Gentle Care brush head?

It is recommended to replace the brush head every three months of use, or sooner if the bristles become visibly frayed or splayed. Your Oral-B iO toothbrush will also provide a notification when it's time to replace the head.

What makes this brush head 'Gentle Care'?

The 'Gentle Care' designation comes from its design featuring up to 4,000 soft filaments and a cushioning outer ring, which together provide a very soft brushing experience that is kind to gums and sensitive teeth.

Can I use these heads if I don't have sensitive teeth or gums?

Yes, while designed for sensitivity, anyone can use them. They offer a comfortable clean, though users without sensitivity might prefer other Oral-B iO brush heads for a more intense cleaning sensation.

How do I clean the brush head after use?

Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water after each use to remove any residue. Allow it to air dry.

Does the black color affect cleaning?

No, the color of the brush head does not impact its cleaning performance or effectiveness. It is purely an aesthetic choice.

What is the main advantage of the cushioning outer ring?

The cushioning outer ring works with the soft filaments to protect your gums from over-brushing and irritation, while also helping the brush head adapt to the unique curvature of your teeth for a consistent clean.

Troubleshooting

Brush head does not attach properly

Ensure you are using an Oral-B iO model handle. Align the brush head correctly with the metal shaft and press down firmly until it clicks into place. If it still doesn't fit, check for any obstructions on the handle's connector.

Brush head feels too soft / not cleaning effectively

These are designed for gentle cleaning. If you require a firmer clean, consider other Oral-B iO brush head variants. Ensure your iO toothbrush is updated, as firmware can affect brush head performance.

Bristles fraying quickly

You may be applying too much pressure. Ease up on the pressure; the iO toothbrush has a pressure sensor to guide you. Replace the brush head as soon as you notice fraying, or when the iO toothbrush notifies you.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
