| How does the Colgate Motion toothbrush work? |
|
|
The battery powered Colgate Motion toothbrush has a dual action head. The smaller head acts as a microtip to clean deep between teeth and around the gums. The larger head sweeps away plaque and polishes tooth surfaces. The Colgate Motion Whitening toothbrush also has soft polishers to help remove stains. |
|
|
|
Brushing should take approximately 2 minutes, the same amount of time as it would if using a manual toothbrush. The best way to brush is to:
- Start by cleaning the outer surfaces of your upper, then lower teeth
- Proceed to clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
- Finally, clean the chewing surfaces of your teeth

|
|
| What type of brushing motion with the Colgate Motion toothbrush should I use? |
|
|
Colgate Motion is designed to allow you to brush as you would any other manual toothbrush (regular brushing motion). To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around filling crowns or other restoration. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Is the Colgate Motion toothbrush safe for a child to use? |
|
|
Yes. However, we do recommend adult supervision for children under 3 years of age, as stated on the packaging. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Do I need to use special toothpaste when I use the Colgate Motion toothbrush? |
|
|
Colgate Motion can be used with any toothpaste but those containing alumina may shorten the life of the bristles or the brush. |
|
|
|
|
|
| How much toothpaste do I need to apply to the head? |
|
|
We recommend using the same amount that you normally put on a regular toothbrush. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Can I use the Colgate Motion toothbrush on dentures, braces or restorations? |
|
|
Yes, Colgate Motion can be safely used on all three. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Is it safe to get the Colgate Motion toothbrush wet? |
|
|
The brush is safe even when fully immersed in water. |
|
|
|
|
|
| How long will the Colgate Motion toothbrush last? |
|
|
Dentists recommend that a toothbrush be changed at least every 3 months (same as a manual toothbrush). After that time, the brush could start to wear so the head and/or batteries may need to be replaced. |
|
|
|
|
|
| How do I know when the batteries need replacing? |
|
|
The brush may slow down or stop working when the batteries need replacing. Typically, batteries will need to be changed approximately every 2 months with an average use of twice a day. |
|
|
|
|
|
| How do I replace the batteries? |
|
|
The battery cap is the part located at the base of the Colgate Motion toothbrush. To remove, simply pull cap downwards. |
|
|
|
|
|
| How should I store the Colgate Motion toothbrush - upright or on its side? |
|
|
Colgate Motion should be stored upright. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Are there replacement heads available for the Colgate Motion toothbrush? |
|
|
Yes, replacement heads are available. You can find Motion replacement heads wherever Colgate Motion toothbrushes are sold. Dentists recommended that you change your toothbrush head every 3 months. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Are there other bristles (soft/firm) available for the Colgate Motion toothbrush? |
|
