Individual brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different
Oral-B brush heads that fit your Oral-B
toothbrush handle.

Our oscillating-rotating brush heads
can be used for tooth-by-tooth
precision cleaning.

Oral-B CrossAction brush head

Our most advanced brush
head. Angled bristles for a
precise clean. Lifts and
powers away plaque.

Oral-B Floss Action brush head

Oral-B Precision Clean brush head

The Oral-B Floss Action
brush head is
recommended for everyday
cleaning. It features
micropulse bristles that get
in hard-to-reach areas
between your teeth, gently
removing hidden plaque.

The Oral-B Precision Clean
brush head provides
effective and gentle
cleaning action for both
teeth and gums. The brush
head cups each tooth with
longer and denser bristles
and reaches deep between
teeth at the same time.

Oral-B Sensitive brush head

Oral-B 3D White brush head

Oral-B Sensi Ultrathin brush head

The dynamic «Deep Sweep» brush
head can be used with all common
brushing techniques.

Oral-B Deep Sweep brush head

The Oral-B Sensitive brush
head provides thorough
cleaning for sensitive teeth
and gums. It has an extra
soft bristle texture that is
gentle on teeth and gums.

For occasional or everyday
polishing, please use the
Oral-B 3D White brush
head. It features a
dentist-inspired polishing
cup to remove surface
stains from coffee, tea and
tobacco for effective
brightening. We do not
recommend using the
Oral-B 3D White brush
head with braces.

features a combination of
regular bristles to clean
teeth surfaces and ultrathin
bristles for a gentle brushing
experience on the gumline.

features triple zone cleaning
action for outstanding
plaque removal, even in
between teeth.

Most Oral-B brush heads feature light
blue INDICATOR® bristles to help you
monitor brush head replacement need.
With thorough brushing, twice a day for
two minutes, the blue color will fade
halfway down approximately in a
3-month period (4.b). If the bristles
splay before the color recedes (4.c),
you are exerting too much pressure on
teeth and gums.

We do not recommend using the Oral-B
«Floss Action» or Oral-B «3D White»
brush head with braces. You may use
the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head,
specifically designed to clean around
braces and wires.

In the first few days of using any
electric toothbrush, your gums may
bleed slightly. In general bleeding
should stop after a few days. Should it
persist after 2 weeks, please consult
your dentist or dental hygienist.

Cleaning

After brushing, rinse your brush head
for several seconds under running
water with the handle switched on.
Switch off the handle and remove the
brush head. Rinse both parts separately
under running water then wipe them
dry before reassembling the
toothbrush. From time to time also
clean the charging unit with a damp
cloth; never place the charging unit in
water. Brush head holder (E) is
dishwasher-safe (5).
