Oral-B 3DWhite Toothbrush Heads Pack of 4

Product Information

All of the nylon bristle tips have been rounded to give a softer brushing sensation and reduce the chances of gum irritation. To the outer left and right of this polishing cup are 3 clusters of bristles that form the outer ring of the brush head if you like. These are rich blue colour and are the shortest bristles on the head. The Oral-B 3D White brush head has a specially designed polishing cup to help remove surface stains while bristles clean away plaque, making it ideal for advanced cleaning and whitening.

With that covered you have another slight consideration to make. What bristle configuration do you want? A grey slider switch just under the head of the nozzle allows the jet of water exiting to be changed from either a continuous and more powerful jet of water or a softer, rotational flow of water. For the vast majority, the CrossAction or Sensitive Clean brush head I have recommended will be an ideal choice. Using a brush head for longer can actually cause harm to the teeth because bristles can become damaged and less effective at how they sweep across the tooth surfaces, in between teeth and along the gum line.There are 2 cleaning modes on the 2500. Daily clean and sensitive. The Sensitive mode might be slightly better to start with. Once used to the brush they can use the more powerful daily clean mode if they like. Essentially they do the same job as regular indicator bristles, but they have been reworked to be a little more obvious in daily use. Each of these have potential advantages based on your specific needs. CrossAction is a good general clean option whilst the FlossAction is advantageous if you particularly suffer with plaque build up in between teeth. It can be very difficult to clean this area, as you are experiencing. For some, it is more of an issue than others.

You might want to get just 1 brush handle and then let them share it. Of course they need their own head. Just be mindful if they are ever apart this is when you might need a 2nd handle or solution.Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every three months. Oral-B's improved 3D White replacement brush heads are equipped with CleanMaximiser bristle technology which turns green bristles yellow to help remind you when to replace it to maintain a superior clean.* Capable of removing up to 5x more plaque than a manual toothbrush the precision clean head leaves your whole mouth feeling cleaner thanks to an arc trim that cups each tooth as you brush it. You will find that the brush heads will normally last 3 months and whilst the intensity of the bristle colour may have changed the bristle formation should still be virtually the same as it was when new at the end of the 3 month period.

Above and below this are 2 light blue bristle clusters with a further 2 clusters above them. The outer bristle formation is slightly thinner, but wider in formation and are positioned to form a slight arc or curvature to the edge of the brush head. The very outer bristles are the tallest on the head. Out from the white bristles are 2 clusters of very dark blue coloured bristles. The formation of these bristles are wider and slightly thinner than a normal cluster and are positioned in such a way that there is a gentle arc to them. In the centre of the brush head, are a further 7 tufts, 6 of which are grouped around a single tuft right in the centre.The small round brush head has contouring to the bristles to help adapt to the curvature of the tooth and gumline for a deep and thorough clean. I have tested all of these different brush heads and my personal favourites are the CrossAction and Sensitive brush heads.
