Are generic brush heads OK?

Although the generic brush heads will get the job done, the bristles in the ones we tested felt stiffer (and a bit prickly, even) compared with the brand-name ones. The ADA recommends using a brush with soft bristles, as firmer brushes are harsher on gums and can lead to wear and tear and even gum recession.

How long do Sonicare toothbrush heads last?

three months
It is recommended to replace your Philips Sonicare Brush Head every three months of normal use (brushing twice a day) or when the blue indicator bristles wear out. One reason is because brush heads can get weary and will be less effective in removing plague.

What does C2 mean on Sonicare?

Optimal Plaque Control
The next heads we discuss (C2 Optimal Plaque Control, G2 Optimal Gum Care, W DiamondClean and i InterCare) are all BrushSync capable. But different than those above, Sonicare evidently considers these heads to have a less effective design. (They are designated as “7X” brush heads in regard to plaque removal.)
