can I put the tips into my sonic care UV sanitizer with my tooth brush tips?

In addition to Stephen's comments... I doubt the SinuPulse tips will fit inside the UV sanitizer. But in any event, I presume it would be the inside of the SinuPulse tips that you may be concerned about -- and if so, the UV sanitizer will do nothing about that. In my view, there is nothing to be concerned about here. I run a half-tank or so of very warm filtered water through the unit after each use, rinse the tip under hot tap water, and let everything dry thoroughly. I think Stephen's suggestion would work. You could also simply soak the tips in a bit of water heated in the microwave.

Yes, you can use a typical toothbrush UV sanitizer for your sinus or throat tips they will not be damaged by the UV exposure. However, benefits of UV disinfection are dependent upon direct "line-of-sight" exposure. The area inside the bulb may not receive adequate UV exposure for proper disinfection. Many UV sanitizers have mirrored surfaces designed to reflect and broaden UV exposure which can help increase exposure. There are several other low cost natural sanitizing options including soaking the tips in white vinegar or a mixed solution containing 2 tsp. baking soda combined with one cup (8 oz.) of waterHealth Solutions Medical Products Corporation Yes, you can use a typical toothbrush UV sanitizer for your sinus or throat tips they will not be damaged by the UV exposure.

I dont know really. That is not a bad idea. But if you really want to keep this device clean it is probably better to just run a small volume of isopropyl alcohol through the whole set up and to make sure that the tips are thoroughly washed with the alcohol in the process. You will of course subsequently need to be sure to let a small amount of water flush the hosing before trying to wash out your nose. Failing to do so..... hurts. heh.

I would not think it would harm anything. The tip is a soft plastic. UV light does cause plastic to harden after much exposure, but the UV sanitizer only exposes for 10 minutes. After use, we rinse ours under hot tap water. Replacement tips are available on Amazon for about $12.

My husband uses these. They have 2 rows of bristles directly opposite each other. The shaft is very thin and I think it could get in. But, if you have sensitive gums, it might be too much for you. My hygienist suggested the GUM soft-picks. They do have them on Amazon. Hope this helps

The whitening tips do fit on the WaterPik FLA-220. I bought both the FLA 220 w/tips included and whitening tips as back up (never gave it a thought... they both looked the same). Anyway, the whitening tips do fit too.

Yes, you can!This is my second one, bought a sonic toothbrush for $110.00, was highly recommendedby a dental hygienist,I thought she would be the one to ask.I expected my teeth to feel like they had just been professionally cleaned.I returned it the next day, don't know why people swear by it...The Oral B toothbrush does a much better job!!!

The instructions for this unit states you should wash after each use with hot water.So it is not necessary to have replacement tips.

Dear Kelly, The CosmicSmile UV accepts my Sonicare electric toothbrush just fine. I would suspect it will work on most electric toothbrushes. Mark

Yes, it can be shared. Philips sells tips/nozzles with different colors so sharing can be made easier. "Philips Sonicare airfloss replacement nozzles, which are identifiable by different colored tips for easy sharing of your airfloss handle" is part of the selling point on the Philips Sonicare HX8012/64 Airfloss Replacement Nozzles, 2-pack

I would contact the manufacture for an exact answer. I purchased on a whim, hoping they would and yes, they did. I just compared the style with what came with my Sonicare. The brushes last just as long and for the price...worth it !

No. If you're really concerned about germs, then buy extra piks (the attachments), and clean them, as well as the WaterPik often.

Well I bought the box if tips when I got my Kendal. Yes I would use a different tip for each client because the dead skin that comes off on your tips. You don't want to cross containment.

Yes they can! Philips Sonicare Hx3012/64 Powerup Brush Head, Regular, 2 Count

being a waterpik label, my educated guess would be yes! I am very happy with this device because it did work well. The tip is a tiny bit large, at least for my smaller nostrils, but it does the job and I got rid of a sinus infection that I had battled for almost a year. I reccommend using with Alkalol nasal wash. (Be sure to use distilled water in your nose!) hope this helps.

I have no idea. I've always cleaned the entire unit. I'm not sure I want to separate the tip from the tube.

No. I had to buy a few to get one that fit and was straight and not too long or wide. One that I had was angled so the bristles would go into the compartment where the uv light is. One was too wide to sit properly and one was too long. I got a cheap tooth brush that was straight and fits now. I don't even know if the uv light works at killing germs there's no way to tell.

how are you cleaning your tips? I use an enzyme cleaner in an ultra sonic cleaner and then scrub with a nylon brush and disinfect. If you are not getting all the dead skin cells off and they dry on the tip you can also get scratches. I also make sure the tip and the skin are dry.

Hello, I bought this tip to go with my Waterpic Ultra. Both the Water pic and 90 degree tip were bought for use with Periogen Tarter Dissolving Solution. They recommended the tip and the Waterpic.
