Mi electric toothbrush head
A replacement electric-toothbrush head must match the exact handle connection, and gentle angled brushing is needed to clean teeth without scrubbing the gums.
The short answer
An electric brush head is a replaceable nylon-bristle component driven by the handle motor. Compatibility depends on the handle series and attachment design, while gum care depends on light pressure, a soft head, and placing the bristles where the tooth meets the gingiva.
How can you check which brush head fits your handle?
Check the handle and replacement packaging for the matching model family before fitting a head. Use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste, guide the powered head slowly along each tooth surface, and clean the tongue and between teeth with an interdental method.

When should bleeding or sensitivity be checked by a dentist?
See a dentist or hygienist for persistent bleeding, recession, swelling, ulcers, or sensitivity. Ask for an individualized brushing demonstration if the bristles flatten quickly or the gumline remains coated with plaque.
Which handle model and brush head connection do you need?
Which handle model do I have, and what head connection fits it? Is my brushing pressure causing recession or abrasion, and what cleaning aid should I use between teeth?
