ORAL B CRISS CROSS BRUSH

How ORAL B CRISS CROSS BRUSH Works

• The Oral-B CrissCross toothbrush is designed with a unique bristle configuration to effectively remove plaque and promote overall oral hygiene. Its key feature lies in the CrissCross bristles, which are angled in opposing directions to reach and clean between teeth and along the gumline where ordinary bristles often miss.
• Here's a breakdown of how the Oral-B CrissCross toothbrush works: * **CrissCross Bristles:** These angled bristles flex and straighten to penetrate tight spaces between teeth, dislodging plaque and debris. The opposing angles ensure that plaque is swept away from multiple directions with each stroke.
• * **Power Tip Bristles:** The extended bristles at the tip of the brush are specifically designed to reach and clean hard-to-reach areas at the back of the mouth, ensuring a thorough clean of molars and other posterior teeth.
• * **Gentle on Gums:** While effective at plaque removal, the bristles are also designed to be gentle on gums. They are typically made with rounded ends to prevent irritation and promote gum health. Consistent, gentle brushing along the gumline helps to stimulate blood flow and prevent gingivitis.
• * **Ergonomic Handle:** The toothbrush handle is designed for a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for better control and maneuverability during brushing. This enables you to reach all areas of your mouth with ease and apply the appropriate amount of pressure.
• The combined action of the CrissCross bristles, power tip bristles, and ergonomic handle provides a comprehensive cleaning experience that helps to remove plaque, prevent cavities, and promote healthy gums. Regular use, as part of a complete oral hygiene routine, contributes significantly to maintaining a healthy and confident smile.
• For optimal results, it is recommended to brush your teeth with the Oral-B CrissCross toothbrush at least twice a day for two minutes each time, using a fluoride toothpaste. Replace your toothbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or worn.

The Oral-B Criss Cross toothbrush is designed for oral hygiene and doesn't typically have side effects. However, improper use or excessive pressure while brushing may lead to: * **Gum irritation or bleeding:** Brushing too hard can damage gum tissue. * **Tooth sensitivity:** Aggressive brushing can erode enamel, leading to sensitivity. * **Soft Tissue Injury:** Injury to inner cheeks, tongue or lips due to vigorous brushing. * **Worsening of Existing Conditions:** In rare cases, using a new toothbrush can exacerbate existing oral health issues (e.g., if the bristles are too firm for sensitive gums).

• ORAL B CRISS CROSS BRUSH is not a medication. As such, there is no concept of a 'missed dose'. Continue to use the toothbrush as part of your regular oral hygiene routine, typically twice a day.

• Keep ORAL B CRISS CROSS BRUSH away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store ORAL B CRISS CROSS BRUSH at room temperature.

• Use the Oral-B Criss Cross Brush at least twice a day: Brush your teeth thoroughly in the morning and before bed to remove plaque and bacteria that accumulate throughout the day and night. Consistent brushing is key to maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental problems.
• Replace your brush every three months: The bristles of your toothbrush become frayed and less effective over time. Replacing your Oral-B Criss Cross Brush every three months ensures you're always using a brush that effectively cleans your teeth and gums. Set a reminder on your phone or calendar to track replacement dates.
• Use proper brushing technique: Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to your gums and use gentle, circular motions. Avoid applying excessive pressure, which can damage your gums and enamel. Focus on reaching all surfaces of your teeth, including the front, back, and chewing surfaces. Spend at least two minutes brushing to ensure thorough cleaning.
• Don't forget your tongue: Use the Oral-B Criss Cross Brush to gently clean your tongue after brushing your teeth. This helps remove bacteria that contribute to bad breath and improves your overall oral hygiene. Start from the back of your tongue and move forward, rinsing the brush frequently.
• Rinse your brush thoroughly after each use: After brushing, rinse your Oral-B Criss Cross Brush under running water to remove toothpaste, food particles, and bacteria. Store the brush upright in an open container to allow it to air dry. Avoid storing it in a closed container, which can create a moist environment that promotes bacterial growth.
• Pair with fluoride toothpaste: Use the Oral-B Criss Cross Brush with a fluoride toothpaste to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities. Fluoride helps remineralize tooth enamel and make it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria. Choose a toothpaste that is appropriate for your specific needs, such as sensitivity or whitening.
• Consider using floss or interdental brushes: While the Oral-B Criss Cross Brush is excellent for cleaning tooth surfaces, it may not reach all areas between your teeth. Use floss or interdental brushes to clean between your teeth once a day to remove plaque and food particles that your toothbrush can't reach. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
• Look for features like the angled bristles: Oral-B Criss Cross bristles are uniquely designed to remove more plaque in hard-to-reach areas. Appreciate that this unique criss cross bristle technology cleans better than ordinary toothbrushes
• Consult your dentist regularly: Visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings to maintain good oral health. Your dentist can identify and treat any potential problems early on and provide personalized recommendations for your oral hygiene routine. Discuss your brushing technique and any concerns you have with your dentist or dental hygienist.
• Replace immediately after sickness: It is important to replace your Oral-B Criss Cross Brush after sickness to avoid re-infection

• The Oral-B Criss Cross toothbrush is designed to effectively remove food particles and plaque from your teeth and gums. While the toothbrush itself doesn't interact with food in a chemical or metabolic way, its effectiveness can be influenced by certain food characteristics. For example, sticky or sugary foods may require more thorough brushing to ensure complete removal. Acidic foods can temporarily soften tooth enamel, so it's generally advisable to wait for about 30 minutes after consuming them before brushing to avoid potential enamel damage. Hard or crunchy foods might leave behind smaller particles in hard-to-reach areas, necessitating careful and detailed brushing with the Criss Cross bristles.
