Electric Toothbrushes

We developed different electric toothbrush heads for our Hydrosonic toothbrushes and can proudly provide a suitable attachment for every need. Good to know: each brush head fits all Hydrosonic devices. The sensitive brush head cleans super gently and thoroughly without any pressure, even in case of sensitive gums, an ongoing inflammation (gingivitis), or brackets. The power brush head cleans powerfully and thoroughly—nomen est omen. It is recommended for a deep clean of healthy gums when stubborn plaque is present and you are prone to tooth staining. The single attachment is a single tuft brush and therefore ideal for cleaning around brackets and implants plus precise tooth-by-tooth cleaning. If you’re more into black, go for the elegant carbon brush head. It pairs perfectly with the Black is White Hydrosonic and sports charcoal infused bristles slightly helping bring out the natural brightness of your teeth and avoid stains.

If you brush your teeth regularly twice a day, replace the electric toothbrush head every 2–3 months. Well, this is only a rough guideline. If you were ill or if the brush head shows signs of wear before then, replace it. Change it after 3 months at the latest, no matter how good it still looks. Why? Using a worn toothbrush increases the risk of not brushing properly. This may result in plaque residue on your teeth and eventually in tooth decay. If you wear brackets: replace the brush head every 6–8 weeks to achieve optimal results, as the bristles can wear out more quickly due to the brackets and wires.

If you wonder whether a manual or an electric toothbrush is better: both are effective and allow a thorough clean when used properly. If you use an ultra-soft manual toothbrush correctly and combine it with interdentals, its cleaning efficacy is on a par with an electric model. However, electric toothbrushes are a good option for people with brackets, implants, or sensitive teeth and periodontitis. They offer a lot of comfort by eliminating the need for manual brushing and being gentle on both your teeth and gums—but they are not the time-savers some people hope for. It is still crucial to brush your teeth for a certain amount of time. Ideally, two to three minutes. 

The Hydrosonic is a rechargeable electric toothbrush. A fully charged Curaprox Hydrosonic toothbrush battery lasts for 60 minutes of brushing—roughly equivalent to two weeks of use when you brush for 4 minutes per day. Good to know: the toothbrush maintains full power until the battery is empty. All Hydrosonic toothbrushes are rechargeable via USB.

Yes, kids can use electric toothbrushes. We recommend our Hydrosonic sonic toothbrushes for children older than 6 years of age. They should start with a compact sensitive brush head and with level 1, then gradually increase the intensity to get to know the cleaning power and the hydrodynamic effect. Until the age of 10, parents should brush their child's teeth or at least check the results and continue to supervise their kid during brushing until at least 12 years of age.
