Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Who invented the Dental Revolution™?
Answer: The Dental Revolution was invented by a European dental surgeon. His objective was to develop a power toothbrush that always followed the correct brushing method from gum to tooth. He also wanted to develop a brush which would help his patients thoroughly brush all the different surfaces of the teeth efficiently and quickly.

Question: What are the benefits of using the Dental Revolution™ toothbrush over the other power toothbrushes on the market?
Answer: The benefits are considerable. First, the Dental Revolution ensures that your teeth and gums are always brushed according to the correct brushing method (from gum to tooth). Second, since the Dental Revolution brushes both the inside and the outside of your teeth simultaneously, it brushes the teeth much more thoroughly (including difficult to reach teeth surfaces, which are often neglected) and much quicker than other power toothbrushes. Finally, the Dental Revolution provides a comfortable and efficient brushing, which leaves the user with a strong sense of cleanliness and freshness after brushing.

Question: What is the Bass Method?
Answer: The Bass Brushing method is the brushing technique overwhelmingly recommended by dentists worldwide. This method consists of brushing from the gum to the tooth. This ideal movement removes plaque, provides a healthy massage to the gum, and avoids separating the gum from the teeth. Hence, it prevents food particles from being pushed between the gum and the teeth (one of the main causes of gingivitis).

Question: How long does a single charge last?
Answer: The DR 32 will run for approximately 20 minutes on a single charge. This corresponds to approximately 1 week worth of brushing (assuming three brushings a day for one minute) without requiring re-charging.

Question: Why does it tickle when I brush?
Answer: It is very normal to feel a tickling sensation in your mouth with the Dental Revolution during the first few days of use. As your mouth becomes accustomed to the proper way of brushing, the tickling sensation will disappear.

Question: Is it normal to experience bleeding of the gums?
Answer: Other brushing techniques often neglect the gums, making them sensitive and fragile. Minor bleeding or gum irritations are such indications and should disappear within a few days as your mouth becomes accustomed to the proper way of brushing. It is normal to experience this and should disappear within a few days. During that time it is preferable to use the soft bristle brush head.

Question: Why does it splash toothpaste when I brush?
Answer: It is very common to experience some splashing when using an electric toothbrush. As you continue to use the Dental Revolution™, you will very quickly learn to close your mouth while brushing. In the mean time you may want to hold your head down while brushing to avoid splashing. Turn the unit off before removing it from your mouth to avoid any unnecessary splashing.

Question: Is the DR 32 suitable for me if I have braces, crowns or dental work?
Answer: Yes. The DR 32 can be used with braces, crowns and standard dental work such as fillings, etc.

Question: With standard toothbrushes or other power toothbrushes, my dentist told me that it is possible to brush too hard, which creates damage. Can I press too hard with the DR 32?
Answer: The DR 32’s unique design with its flexible head self-regulates the pressure on the teeth and gums. The DR 32 ensures a comfortable level of pressure is applied to the teeth and gums for maximum efficiency.

Question: Is the DR 32 suitable for my children?
Answer: The DR 32 is suitable for children starting from the age of 10.

Question: How often should I replace the brush heads?
Answer: It is recommended to replace brush heads every 3 months.

Question: Does the DR 32 always follow the Bass Method? How does it ensure this all the time?
Answer: Yes. The DR 32 always follows the Bass brushing method. When you place the DR 32 inside your mouth to brush simultaneously the inside and outside of your teeth, the contra-rotating brush heads brush away from the gum line. When you place it sideways inside your mouth so each rotating brush head is against your upper and lower teeth, it still only brushes away from the gum line. It is truly a fool proof method of brushing your teeth.

Question: If I share my DR 32 with my family, how can we ensure that the brush heads won’t get mixed and we use each others brushes?
Answer: Each replacement brush head has an insert-able color pin on the back side. Each family member chooses a color to insert onto their individual brush head.

Question: Can the Dental Revolution™ be used in the shower?
Answer: No. It is not advised to use an appliance in the shower. In particular, always be very careful to keep charger in a location where there is no risk of it falling into water.

Question: Can I use the Dental Revolution™ while having sore gums or already infected gums?
Answer: When having sore or infected gums, you need to exercise caution while brushing as you would with any toothbrush. If your gums are infected or sore in places, avoid brushing these areas.

Question: Can I use the DR 32 with highly sensitive teeth?
Answer: You have to exercise caution and judgment about this, depending on how sensitive your teeth are. It is recommended to use a Soft brush head with sensitive teeth.

Question: Would it hurt my teeth or gums if I use the Dental Revolution™ more than one minute per brushing?
Answer: No. It is not a problem to brush your teeth and gums for over a minute with the Dental Revolution™. However, when first using the Dental Revolution™, your teeth and gums may take several days to get fully used to the new brushing method.

Question: How can I make sure that my teeth are clean after only one minute of brushing?
Answer: While brushing, you will feel the massage of the gums and the brushing of the teeth. After brushing, if you pass your tongue along your teeth, you should feel a fresh and smooth sensation.

Question: How often do I have to brush my teeth with the DR 32?
Answer: As with all other toothbrushes, it is recommended to brush your teeth after every meal.

Question: Can the bristle heads overheat from prolonged usage?
Answer: No. There is no risk of overheating of the brush head or bristles from prolonged usage.

Question: How much toothpaste do I use?
Answer: It is only necessary to place a small amount of toothpaste on the Dental Revolution™ brush head. To apply the toothpaste, dampen the brush head, put a small amount of toothpaste between the brushes and switch the unit on for several seconds to spread the toothpaste evenly.

Question: Is there a firm or coarse brush head I can purchase?
Answer: No. There are only Soft and Medium brush heads. Dentists strongly recommend not using “firm” or "coarse” brush heads, which can damage the teeth and gums.

Question: Which brush head should I use, "Soft" or "Medium”?
Answer: This depends entirely on your personal preference: some people prefer Soft brushes while others prefer Medium brushes.

Question: Is flossing still necessary with the Dental Revolution™?
Answer: Yes, it is always recommended to floss (or to use a small inter-dental brush) in order to properly clean areas between the teeth which no toothbrush can fully reach.

Question: How often should I visit my dentist if the Dental Revolution™ is so efficient?
Answer: You should visit your dentist regularly. The difference is that your dentist may notice an improvement in your gums and the cleanliness of your teeth due to the Dental Revolution™’s efficiency.

Question: What are the bristles made from?
Answer: The bristles are made of Tynex, which is produced by Dupont. Dupont is the leading producer of high quality bristles for toothbrushes.

Question: Why do the bristles start to stick out after only a couple of weeks of use? Does that mean I need to get a new replacement head?
Answer: No. The bristles may look less “neat” after several weeks of usage, as with all toothbrushes. This is not a problem and should in no way hinder brushing. It is recommended changing the brush head every three months.
