Tips For Taking Care of Your Electric Toothbrush


Posted on 12/1/2023 by Weo Admin
Image of an electric toothbrush. When you have a challenge with plaque and bacteria, getting an electric brush can be a good idea. The brush features advanced cleaning technology designed to remove plaque and tartar. It also helps to clean stains. Having one will improve your dental care. However, you need to take care of the electric toothbrush to maintain its effectiveness. Here are several tips you can consider:

Rinse Your Brush After Use


One way to keep your electric brush clean is by rinsing it with warm water after brushing. This process will help to remove any toothpaste left on it that would prevent it from drying out after use. This act helps to remove all bacteria that may settle on the bristles. Remember, never use boiling water as it can damage the plastic components on the brush, such as the bristles.

Consider Replacing Your Brush Head


Like other brushes, your electric brush will wear down after some time. You need to replace it every three to four months. However, you do not need to buy an entire toothbrush. All you need to do is buy a new brush head. Replacement can enhance your brush performance and keep your teeth clean.

Choose Your Toothpaste Well


If you want to retain your electric brush for a duration, consider the type of toothpaste you are using. Toothpaste varies in its abrasive. Some can wear out your electric toothbrush bristles faster than others. You should consider using the recommended toothpaste for an electric toothbrush.

Sanitize It


After cleaning your teeth, bacteria may remain on your toothbrush. Some might be hard to kill even after rinsing with warm water. Sanitizing your electric toothbrush can be a perfect way to deal with these bacteria. Consider sanitizing your brush with a UV sanitizer. This approach ensures deep cleaning.

Remember, keeping your electric brush clean can guarantee enhanced dental hygiene. Visit our office for more information on taking care of your electric toothbrush.
