How does
the Colgate Actibrush toothbrush
work? | |
|
| The battery powered Colgate
Actibrush toothbrush has a small round head with
cup-shaped bristles and special oscillating
cleaning action to help clean each tooth
individually, and help you effectively clean
hard-to-reach places between the teeth and along
the gumline. | |
|
|
|
 |
How does
the Colgate Actibrush toothbrush compare with
electric
toothbrushes? | |
|
| As with many other such brushes,
Colgate Actibrush has a head with an oscillating
brushing movement but is battery
operated. | |
Brushing should take approximately
2 minutes, the same amount of time as it would if
using a manual toothbrush. The best way to brush
is to:
- Start at one of the back molars
and brush the outside of the teeth first
- Hold the brush parallel to the
teeth and clean each tooth individually while
avoiding exerting too much pressure
- Proceed to clean the inside of
the teeth
- Finally, clean the biting edge
of the teeth

Should I
jiggle or use a brushing motion with the Colgate
Actibrush toothbrush or just hold it on each
tooth? | |
|
There is no need to jiggle the
toothbrush. Colgate Actibrush's head oscillates
and is best used with the following directions:
- Start at one of the back molars
and brush the outside of the teeth first
- Hold the brush parallel to the
teeth and clean each tooth individually while
avoiding exerting too much pressure
- Proceed to clean the inside of
the teeth
- Finally, clean the biting edge
of the teeth

How long
will the Colgate Actibrush toothbrush
last? | |

more frequent use, or use for increased duration
could affect that time
span. | |

How do I
know when the batteries need
replacing? | |

working when the batteries need replacing.
