Maintenance
Cleaning the Toothbrush
After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the handle switched on. Remove the brush head and clean the handle and brush head separately. Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the charger in water.
Brush Head Replacement
Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every 3 months, or sooner if the brush head becomes loose due to damage or if the bristles are splayed. Worn bristles clean less effectively.
