FAQs
How often should I replace the Oral-B iO Series Gentle Care brush heads?
For optimal cleaning performance and hygiene, dentists recommend replacing your brush head every 3 months. The color-changing bristles will also indicate when it's time for a change.
Can I use these brush heads with other Oral-B electric toothbrushes?
No, these Gentle Care brush heads are exclusively designed for and guaranteed to fit only Oral-B iO series electric toothbrush handles. They are not compatible with other Oral-B models.
What makes these brush heads 'gentle'?
They feature 4000 ultra-soft bristles and a cushioning outer ring that adapts to the contours of your teeth and protects your gums from irritation.
How do the color-changing bristles work?
The blue indicator bristles fade to white over time, signaling that the brush head's effectiveness has diminished and it's time to replace it to maintain optimal cleaning.
Do these brush heads help remove plaque?
Yes, they are designed to remove up to 100% more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush, leaving your teeth feeling clean and bright.
How should I clean the brush head after use?
Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water after each brushing session to remove any remaining toothpaste and debris. Allow it to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Brush head does not attach securely to the handle.
Ensure you are using an Oral-B iO series handle. Align the brush head correctly and press down firmly until you hear a click. If it still feels loose, check for any debris on the connection point of the handle or brush head.
Reduced cleaning effectiveness or vibration.
The brush head may be worn out. Check if the indicator bristles have faded to white. If so, replace the brush head. Also, ensure the toothbrush handle is fully charged and that there are no blockages on the brush head.
Bristles splay out quickly.
This can occur with excessive pressure during brushing. Ensure you are using a gentle grip and allowing the electric toothbrush to do the work. Replace the brush head if splaying is significant.
