Can it replace a toothbrush or it is just a supplementary to the toothbrush?

Definitely supplementary! Doesn't replace brushing at all. Because I have braces, flossing is super time consuming... I use the water pic to get stuff out of my braces and out from between my teeth when I don't have time to floss.

It does not replace a toothbrush, it is like flossing with water. I floss and use the irrigator regulary, it has made a difference in my dental exams. I feel like like the irrigator works better than just flossing.

I usually put a capful of mouthwash in and it seems to do the job ok. But honestly I still brush as well. Not really sure if it replaces brushing or not.

Absolutely not. This is just used to clean your gums and get food particles from between your teeth.

Definitely a supplement to brushing! Ideally done with brushing and flossing.

Best dental practice now is in 3 steps in this order: Use water pik first, floss with string, and then brush. Water pik is particularly good for those with gum recession or pockets.

No you cannot get a replacement battery. The toothbrush needs to be charged more often as it gets older. I have 2 of them and one is over 3 years old and the other about 2 years old. The older one needs to be charged more but it still works great.

No. It will not take the place of regular flossing. It may take place brushing , but you still need to floss.

Not sure? I started using a children's toothbrush, but now use my electric toothbrush. May just be a sales gimmick? But the toothpaste is awesome!

The brush comes with a replacement brush. But yes you can also purchase replacements separately

I do not know but if you contact Philips directly, they should know the answer. Google Philips Sonicare or Philips toothbrushes and there should be contact info for them. Good luck!

I think that you cannot buy any b/c no replacement exists (it can be the catch). The battery lasts less than one year. I had two toothbrush with the same results: batteries dead after a few months.

I recommend that you check the below web page at the Philips website. It will name the correct replacement for each type of toothbrush. Copy and paste the following URL into your browser: http://www.usa.philips.com/c/toothbrush-heads-guide/369831/cat/

I'm fairly certain it will but just to be absolutely possible I suggest you reach out by email or phone to Sonicare and get the answer from them. I've looked everywhere online and did find a picture of the replacement heads for above and it looks identical but doesn't really state it?

Yes. Just pull it off. It should be removed periodically to clean between the brush head and the power unit. Replacement brush heads can be purchased.

The brush in the picture is just as an example, so you can use any toothbrush you already have.

Mine came with two replacement and they are Sonicare. I don't know what the generic replacement would be.

Sorry, I do not know the answer. I have had the toothbrush for over 4 years and it has worked fine.

Does this product work with the dual head toothbrush as well? Because I usually use the dual head from the older version oral b toothbrush and i have a lot of extra replaceable ones.

The toothbrush is sealed so I don't see how you could replace the battery. You can replace the batteries on the timer / display. I own three different Oral-B models having bought the first one in 2009 and it still works fine without any battery replacement to the toothbrush. The timer / display batteries last for about six months; we use rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps...

It's just like a regular toothbrush. You can use any kind you like except denture paste.
