How often should I replace my Icon water flosser tips?
You should replace your Icon water flosser replacement tips every 6 months for optimal hygiene and performance. If you notice any wear, discoloration, or reduced effectiveness of your flosser, replace tips sooner to maintain the best results.
Are these compatible with other AquaSonic water flossers?
These tips are specifically designed for the AquaSonic Icon Water Flosser. For other models like the AquaSonic standard water flosser or AquaSonic professional water flosser, check compatibility specifications or use model-specific replacement tips to ensure proper fit & performance.
What's the difference between the periodontal and standard tips?
Standard tips are designed for everyday cleaning between teeth and along the gumline. The Periodontal Tip features a specialized design for reaching deep pockets and providing enhanced gum care. This makes it ideal for those with gum issues or as recommended by dental professionals.
Can I use the orthodontic tip if I don't have braces?
Yes. While the Orthodontic Tip is designed specifically for cleaning around braces and dental devices, it can also be effective for general use. However, for the best results with your electric water flosser, use the Standard Tips for everyday cleaning unless you have specific orthodontic needs.
Why isn't the tongue scraper included with the original Icon Water Flosser?
This expansion pack includes specialized tips like the Tongue Scraper that aren't part of the standard Icon Water Flosser package. It allows users to customize their oral irrigator setup based on their specific oral care needs, whether that's tongue cleaning, orthodontic care, or periodontal health.
How do I know when it's time to replace my tips?
You should replace your Icon water flosser replacement tips every 6 months as a standard practice. Additionally, look for signs like frayed bristles (on tongue scraper), reduced water flow effectiveness, or visible wear.
