Product Information

Bacteria grow fast. The best way to reduce the number of bacteria in your mouth is to clean your tongue twice daily after brushing your teeth. Removing that debris from your tongue before bedtime can also help reduce bad morning breath and get rid of it when you wake up.

DEEP CLEAN TOOTHBRUSH: Give your smile the star treatment each time you brush with the Colgate 360 Deep Clean Toothbrush. The tongue is a reliable general health problem indicator. 3 Changes in your tongue’s surface from tongue coating and stains to wounds and colour changes can indicate a range of health issues. Experts recommend changing your brush heads every three to four months. That's because bristles start to wear out and become more abrasive on your gums. Rinse the tongue brush or tongue scraper off after using it to remove bacteria and any food debris from the areas of the tongue you cleaned.The blunting (or polishing) process is one where the tips of the bristles are rounded off to create a softer and less damaging brushing experience. There is no one person or organisation to blame, but not many people brush with the right technique.

The toothbrush’s handle felt just right and the small, round brush head was a refreshing change, allowing for better access to tight spots and crevices. The multiple settings and extra features (like the tongue cleaner) offered a diverse brushing experience. While navigating these settings might require more effort than some would prefer, for tech or oral care enthusiasts, it's a great addition. Post-brushing, teeth felt plaque-free, although the taste was less minty, likely due to the smaller brush head. Changing settings mid-brush requires stopping the brush, interrupting the flow of the brushing experience. Almas K, et al. (2005). The effect of tongue scraper on mutans streptococci and lactobacilli in patients with caries and periodontal disease [Abstract].Brushing your teeth alone does not eliminate the bacteria which cause plaque. Bacteria can accumulate in between the thousands of taste buds that cover the surface of our tongue. I would recommend the use of a plastic type of bristle over natural fibres. The available evidence does not support one type of plastic material over another for effectiveness when cleaning, so the material is largely personal choice. When a toothbrush is made the bristles get cut to the length of the manufacturer’s choosing.As they are cut by the sharp blade, the tips of the bristles can be uneven and sharp.

Manual toothbrushes are more eco-friendly than electric toothbrusheswhen you assess their impact from manufacturing to disposal. All of the electric toothbrushes on our list are rechargeable and come with charging cords. It's common for electric toothbrushes to last for two to three weeks on a single charge. Lifetime Costs
