Oral-B D4010 Battery Toothbrush

The Oral-B D4010 is a battery-powered toothbrush using the small round oscillating head that Oral-B built its range around. Battery models sit between a manual brush and a rechargeable electric one. There is no charging base to find space for and no cable, which makes them practical for travel or as a second brush, and they cost considerably less than a rechargeable model.

Specs

• Type: Battery-powered toothbrush
• Head: Round oscillating
• Power: Replaceable batteries, no charging base
• Heads: Takes standard Oral-B replacement heads
• Brand: Oral-B

Benefits

• No base and no cable, so it travels easily and takes up no counter space
• A small round head reaches around individual teeth more easily than a long manual brush head
• Uses the same replacement heads as the rest of the Oral-B range, so they are easy to find
• An affordable way to try a powered brush before committing to a rechargeable one
• Technique still matters more than the brush. Guide it slowly tooth by tooth rather than scrubbing

How to Use

• Apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to the head
• Switch on once the head is in your mouth to avoid spraying
• Guide it slowly from tooth to tooth. Let the brush do the work rather than scrubbing
• Brush for two minutes twice a day, including the gum line
• Replace the head every three months, or sooner if the bristles splay
• Rinse the head and stand it upright to dry. Remove the batteries if storing it for a long period
