How to Replace an Oral-B Battery

Using an electric toothbrush is an important tool in your effort to keep your teeth clean. According to the Oral-B website, power toothbrushes provide superior plaque removal as compared to a regular toothbrush. The Oral-B website goes on to say that in an independent study conducted in 2005 found that brushes that worked with a rotation oscillation action removed more plaque and reduced gingivitis more effectively than manual brushes in the short and in the long term. Having a fresh battery in your Oral-B brush will ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit.

Instructions

• 1

  Unscrew the bottom portion of the toothbrush where the batteries are housed. Turn the bottom portion counter-clockwise while maintaining a tight grip on the other half of the toothbrush.

• 2

  Hold the toothbrush right-side up and slowly remove the bottom half. The old batteries should be sitting in the bottom half of the toothbrush. Put the top half of the toothbrush down.

• 3

  Turn the bottom half upside down so that the old batteries fall out. Use your free hand to catch them.

• 4

  Place new batteries in the bottom half of the toothbrush pointing in the same direction that the old ones were. Pick up the top half of the toothbrush.

• 5

  Screw the bottom half of the toothbrush back into the top half in a clockwise direction. Turn the toothbrush on to make sure it works once it is screwed back into place.
