Philips sonicare optimal gum health replacement brush heads

Choose a compatible Philips Sonicare replacement head with soft bristles and a size that reaches the gumline without hard pressure.

A replacement head is the removable bristle assembly on the powered handle; fit, bristle condition, angle, pressure, and interdental cleaning matter more than the name alone.

Check the handle connection, brush gently along each gumline, clean between teeth separately, and replace a head when bristles splay or roughen.

See a dentist for persistent bleeding, pain, recession, sensitivity, ulcers, or plaque and calculus that remain despite careful cleaning.

Ask which head shape and bristle softness suit your gums and whether pressure or technique is causing irritation.
