| How does the
Colgate Motion toothbrush
work? |
|
|
The battery powered Colgate Motion
toothbrush has two types of bristles. The
oscillating bristles are designed to clean deep
between teeth and along the gumline. The
stationary bi-level bristles are meant to gently
whisk away plaque. |
| |
|
|
|
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 Motion
toothbrush or just hold it on each
tooth? |
|
|
There is no need to jiggle the
toothbrush. Colgate Motion is designed to allow
you to brush as you would any other manual
toothbrush (regular brushing motion). |
| |
|
|
|
| Is the Colgate
Motion toothbrush safe for a child to
use? |
|
|
A child over the age of 3 can use
the Colgate Motion toothbrush, but we recommend
adult supervision for children under 3 years of
age, as stated on our packaging. |
| |
|
|
|
| How much
toothpaste do I need to apply to the
head? |
|
|
We recommend using the same amount
that you normally put on a regular
toothbrush. |
| |
|
|
|
| Can I use the
Colgate Motion toothbrush on dentures, braces or
restorations? |
|
|
Yes, Colgate Motion can be safely
used on all three. |
| |
|
|
|
| Is it safe to
get the Colgate Motion toothbrush wet?
|
|
|
The brush is safe even when fully
immersed in water as it is waterproof. |
| |
|
|
|
| How long will
the Colgate Motion toothbrush
last? |
|
|
Dentists recommend that a
toothbrush be changed at least every 3 months
(same as a manual toothbrush). After that time,
the brush could start to wear, which could
result in inadequate brushing and abrasion to
gums. |
| |
|
|
|
| How do I know
when the batteries need
replacing? |
|
|
The brush may slow down or stop
working when the batteries need replacing.
Typically, batteries will need to be changed
approximately every 2 months with an average use
of twice a day. |
| |
|
|
|
| How do I replace
the batteries? |
|
|
The battery cap is the colored
part located at the base of the Colgate Motion
toothbrush. To remove, simply pull cap
downwards. |
| |
|
|
|
| Are there other
bristles (soft/firm) available for the Colgate
Motion toothbrush? |
|
|
The Colgate Motion toothbrush only
comes in the soft bristle type. Colgate, as do
most dental professionals, recommends soft
bristles for all people. It is better to spend a
little longer brushing away plaque with a soft
brush than risk damaging the gums or tooth
enamel with too-hard a brush. |
