HydraBrush Toothbrush Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

HydraBrush is designed to be waterproof, but not guaranteed if used in the shower. Using HydraBrush in the shower will void the warranty. Therefore it is not recommended to use in the shower.

Do I need toothpaste?

All you need is to apply a tiny pea-sized dollop of toothpaste to the each side (top and bottom) of the HydraBrush micro-brushes. The toothpaste applied through the effective brushing action of HydraBrush will remove the bacterial plaque biofilm and remove stain while applying fluoride - so important in the prevention of tooth decay.

How can I clean my tongue?

HydraBrush Express includes a tongue cleaner.

Can I use only one head?

No. It is essential that both heads are used, because the movement of each head reciprocates or balances the movement of the other making it possible for all six surfaces of the teeth to be cleaned simultaneously while also massaging the gums. Additionally, the brush heads snap on to metal pins, if both heads are not fastened on then one of the pins would be exposed and could possibly cause damage to the teeth or gums.

Is HydraBrush Express good for people who wear braces?

The answer is YES. Most people who wear braces find it difficult to maneuver a conventional single-headed brush around the braces. As a result, far too often their oral hygiene suffers. A private study showed that HydraBrush does an exceptional job cleaning the teeth of a person wearing braces. This is because when the user bites into the micro brush heads they are automatically positioned to provide a proper cleaning of the teeth and massaging of the gums.

Color in the bristles - what is it made from?

All bristle colors used comply with US Federal Drug Administration Regulation 21 CFR 178.3297 - colorant levels below 1% by weight and no heavy metal based pigments. All plastics and filaments have been tested for extraction and no significant colorant extraction shown. All colors comply with all applicable standards in Europe and to the US Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

There was a soft rubber square (about 1" x 1 1/4"), with a hole in the middle, stuffed inside the stand, in a baggie. Where does it go & what does it do?

The soft rubber square (about 1" x 1 1/4"), with a hole in the middle is called the "dribble guard collar". This white collar slips over the 'neck' of the handle, BEFORE the heads are snapped on. The concave part of rubber should be facing the heads. This guard helps prevent water and 'backwash' from your mouth (dribble) from running down the handle to your hand. Instead, it should drip straight down off the collar.
