Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Attaching an Oral-B CrossAction Toothbrush Head is straightforward:
- Align: Hold your Oral-B electric toothbrush handle and the replacement head. Align the small metal pin on the handle with the opening at the bottom of the brush head.
- Push: Gently push the brush head down onto the pin until it clicks securely into place.
- Test: Briefly turn on your toothbrush to ensure the head is firmly attached and vibrates correctly.
Compatibility
These CrossAction toothbrush heads are guaranteed to fit all Oral-B electric rechargeable toothbrushes, with two critical exceptions:
- Not compatible with Oral-B Pulsonic toothbrushes.
- Not compatible with Oral-B iO series toothbrushes.
Always check your toothbrush model to confirm compatibility.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your brush head and maintains hygiene:
- Rinse After Use: After each brushing, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water to remove any toothpaste residue and debris.
- Air Dry: Allow the brush head to air dry in an upright position to prevent bacterial growth. Avoid covering the head or storing it in an enclosed container while still damp.
- Replace Regularly: Monitor the bristle usage indicator (green to yellow). When the green bristles fade to yellow halfway down, it's time for a replacement. Oral-B recommends replacing your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles appear splayed or frayed, to ensure maximum cleaning efficacy and hygiene.
