There a lot of different types of replacement heads for them. This one is just a standard, regular toothbrush head. It has the regular grooves in it, as you normally would in a regular toothbrush. Basically, you can, when you're purchasing your Sonicare toothbrush, you also do have that option, whether you're buying it you know, over the counter, at you know a department store or if you're buying it on-line, you always have that option of getting additional heads. What you probably might want to do is a good thing to always at least change your toothbrush head out every, you know, three months, or especially after you just got over a cold. You want to change it out because even though you're using toothpaste when you're brushing your teeth, the bacteria can kind of settle in the bristles, so changing out your toothbrush head frequently is a really good preventative treatment for your teeth, so there's also different types of heads for it, for example this is a different option of a head it's..that you can get with Sonicare where the bristles are a lot more thicker, a lot more harder. They're not as pliable as the softer bristles, and then you actually have like these little rubber tips in them that really break up the debris or bacteria that's sitting on your teeth. So basically when you're purchasing your Sonicare toothbrush, you want to always want to make sure you get replacement heads for it so therefore, you'll keep the life, the shelf of your Sonicare toothbrush and it's also you'll keep your teeth and gums a lot more healthier.
