Oral Care Guide

A scientific approach to protecting your whole family's smiles

Maintaining oral health not only prevents plaque, gingivitis, and bad breath, but also promotes a more confident smile. Whether it's an adult electric toothbrush, a children's toothbrush, a water flosser, or a sinus irrigator, proper use and regular replacement are key. Here's a practical guide based on dental expert advice:

Regular toothbrush

Replacement cycle: Recommended replacement every three months.

Signals to change your toothbrush:

Bristles are bent outward, worn, shortened, or split;

Bristles are darkening or have an odor;

Even if the above symptoms occur, replace your toothbrush immediately.

Reminder: Once bristles are worn, they not only lose cleaning power but also become a breeding ground for bacteria. Children's toothbrushes may need to be replaced more frequently due to varying usage intensity and habits.

Electric toothbrush heads

Replacement cycle: Recommended replacement every three months or when bristles are noticeably worn. Replacement Reminder: Many electric toothbrush heads have a color-changing indicator line (such as blue or green). When the color fades about halfway, it indicates that cleaning effectiveness has decreased and needs to be replaced.

Special Note:

Even if the bristles appear to be "in good condition," bacteria and plaque may still be lurking inside the brush head, making regular replacement essential. Adult and children's brush heads vary in size, bristle hardness, and bristle size; choose the appropriate model based on age.

Water Flosser (Oral Irrigator)

Recommended Use:

Frequency: Use once daily, preferably in the morning and evening after brushing.

Especially effective for those with braces, dental implants, or large gaps between teeth.

Children should only use under adult supervision.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

Empty the water tank after each use and allow it to air dry to prevent bacterial growth.

The nozzle is recommended to be replaced every 6–12 months and can be adjusted based on frequency of use and manufacturer's instructions.

First-Time User Tips:

Start with a low pressure setting to gradually adjust to the water pressure and avoid irritating the gums. For those with sensitive gums, use warm water for increased comfort.

Additional Daily Oral Care Tips

Brushing Frequency: At least twice daily for 2 minutes each time.

Interdental Cleaning: Use dental floss or a water flosser to remove food particles trapped between teeth and reduce plaque.

Regular Checkups: Have a dental checkup and cleaning every 6 months.

Storage: Toothbrushes and brush heads should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture or confined spaces.

Whether it's an adult electric toothbrush, a children's toothbrush, a water flosser, a toothbrush holder, or replacement brush heads, proper use and regular replacement will ensure they maximize their cleaning effectiveness and keep your mouth fresh and healthy.
