What is a Cross Action Toothbrush Head?
The cross-action toothbrush has a rotating power head with crisscross bristles. It helps in cleaning the teeth superiorly with every stroke.
The bristles of a cross-action toothbrush can reach deep beneath the teeth. They remove the plaque better than a regular toothbrush, giving an ultimate and deep clean. Moreover, it keeps the smile healthy.
How Do You Get the Head Off a Toothbrush?
The brush heads of electric toothbrushes are replaceable. To remove the old brush head, hold the handle in one hand and the brush head in the other, then pull the brush head straight out horizontally with firm force. When installing a new brush head, align it with the handle, insert the handle's shaft into the brush head, and press firmly until it's securely in place. Ensure there's a gap of about 1mm between the brush head and the handle.
