3. Maintenance and Replacement
To maintain effective cleaning and hygiene, it is crucial to replace your toothbrush regularly. The Oral-B Indicator bristles serve as a visual reminder for replacement.
Bristle Indicator:
The blue Indicator bristles on your Oral-B toothbrush will fade halfway down over approximately three months of regular use. When the blue color has faded to this extent, it signifies that the brush head is worn and should be replaced to ensure continued cleaning efficacy.
