Plaque Control Toothbrush Head

Customer Reviews:

These are one variety of standard Philips brush heads for their snap-on models. The ad (and the package) make it clear which toothbrushes they work on (basically, every series except PowerUp, Sonicare for Kids, or the older round-base Essence series). Changing the brush head is easy: pop the old one off, remove the plastic cap from the new one, and the new one on. Save the plastic cap to protect the bristles if you travel, and I also recommend wrapping the brush head in a paper towel or tissue.

The manufacturer recommends replacing the brush head every 3 months. I personally replace mine every 2 months, but it's a matter of preference.

I highly recommend getting the Sonicare brush heads as made by Philips and NOT getting the generic, (i.e. "compatible with") ones. The bristles on the generics are generally much harder/stiffer, and they can cause damage to gums and excessive wear to enamel. They also tend to wear out after about 6 weeks, or half the time the ones from Philips do. The ADA recommends brushes with bristles rated "soft" and will certify same. As far as I know, none of the generic brush heads have earned that rating. In other words, the generic brush heads are damaging your gums and teeth, and you have to replace them twice as often.

There are several types of brush heads, including a variety with even softer bristles for those with sensitive gums and teeth. You might consult with your dentist and/or dental hygienist regarding which type is best for you.
