360PRO SONIC TOOTHBRUSHES FAQS:

Q. Why is the 360PRO sonic toothbrush now called EVO?
A. We have taken everything we loved about our original 360PRO sonic toothbrush and added additional features and power to make it an even better and more effective brush.

Q. I have braces – can I use the sonic toothbrush?
A. Yes absolutely. The sonic wave technology is ideal for cleaning in and around braces and is significantly more effective than manual brushing.

Q. I have sensitive gums – can I use the sonic toothbrush?
A. Yes, the sonic toothbrush can be used with sensitive gums. We suggest you start on ‘sensitive’ mode and work up to a higher frequency mode as the gums become customised to the feel of the sonic technology.

Q. Can children use the sonic toothbrush?
A. With a bit of instruction, children can use a sonic toothbrush. Please note: the brush head is a regular size and therefore designed for an adult mouth.

Q. What does sonic technology mean?
A. Sonic toothbrushes use vibration through wave technology to power, water, saliva and toothpaste into areas between teeth and below the gum line. The 360PRO EVO gives you up to 90,000 gentle brush movements per minute. A sonic toothbrush is more effective than a manual toothbrush to brush, polish and brighten your smile.

Q. Does it hurt?
A. If you’re not used to this technology, you may feel a slight tickling sensation on the gums but this will pass.

Q. How should I use the 360PRO EVO sonic brush?
A. Sonic technology does not require a ‘manual’ brushing action by the user. Simply apply some low-abrasive toothpaste, switch on and gently move the brush along the gum margin and over the tooth surface, letting the unique technology do the rest to clean and freshen the mouth. Combine your 360PRO EVO Sonic Toothbrush with a 360PRO Waterflosser to give your mouth the best clean ever.

Q. The brush pauses after 30 seconds – is this normal?
A. Yes. It is recommended you spend 30 seconds cleaning each quadrant of the mouth i.e upper left, upper right. The 30 second pause feature lets you know when it is time to switch to a new quadrant. After 4 x 30 seconds, the unit will auto switch off. Press the mode button again if you want to continue cleaning.

Q. How often should I replace the brush head?
A. It is recommended you change your brush head every 3 months.

Q. When do I know when to charge the brush unit?
A. If the battery is low, the LED light will flash and the speed of motor will reduce. When the battery runs out, the motor will stop working.

Q. How long should a full charge last?
A. Lasts up to 2 months before needing to be charged (if used 4 minutes each day).

Q. Do I still need to floss if I use a sonic toothbrush?
A. Yes, flossing is very important. We have a 360PRO Waterflosser which makes flossing so much easier and more effective.

Q. There are 5 different modes on the brush. Which one should I use?
A. It all depends on personal preference and tooth sensitivity. The ‘polish’ mode is the most powerful and reaches 90000 movements per minute, while the ‘sensitive’ mode reaches 62000 movements per minute. We recommend you start with the ‘sensitive’ mode and work up to the ‘polish’ mode.

Q. How do I clean the unit?
A. Thoroughly rinse the brush head and bristles after each use. Occasionally remove the brush head to clean handle and head separately under running water. Do not immerse in water. Always unplug the charging unit before cleaning it. Do not clean any parts of the system in the dishwasher. Regular cleaning will ensure the life of your 360PRO EVO sonic toothbrush, in particular ensure the charging "well" is clean and dry.

360PRO WATER FLOSSERS FAQS:

Q. Can I use a mouth rinse in my water flosser?
A. Yes you can use a mouth rinse but you must rinse the unit with a reservoir full of clean water after each use. Do not use baking soda, salt or anything other than a mild mouth rinse.

Q. Does water flossing replace brushing?
A. No. Water flossing is for cleaning between the teeth and around the gum line. It does not clean the surface of your teeth and brushing twice daily is still required for good oral hygiene.

Q. How often should I use my water flosser?
A. At least once a day to maintain good oral health.

Q. Is water flossing as effective as string flossing?
A. Clinical trials have shown that water flossing is up to 51% more effective than dental floss for reducing gingivitis, and 29% more effective as dental floss for removing plaque. The best news is it is easier than string flossing so you are more likely to stick to a good flossing routine, giving you a better overall oral health outcome.

Q. How often do I need to replace my tips?
A. Every 3 – 6 months is preferred, depending on how often you use your flosser. It is important not to share tips but you can all use the same flosser.

Q. How do I get replacement tips?
A. They can be ordered HERE

Q. Are other tips available for the cordless model?
A. Only the jet tips are available for the cordless model. There are 5 unique tips available for the plug-in model.

Q. Can kids use a water flosser?
A. Absolutely YES. We do recommend supervision when they start out to ensure correct technique is used.

Q. How do I use the flosser without getting wet?
A. Instructions on how to use the flosser are in the user manual that came with your flosser and can be found on this website. Two helpful hints to keep you dry: 1. Lean forward over the basin; 2. Ensure your mouth is open so the water runs out and into the basin!

Q. Can I floss if my gums are bleeding?
A. The first time you use your water flosser you may find your gums bleed slightly. Keep the unit on the lowest pressure and increase over time. If bleeding does not subside after using your flosser regularly, see a dentist or dental hygienist as this could be the sign of something serious.
