Standard industry practise is to replace battery or electric operated toothbrushes every 2-3 months and Sonicare toothbrushes every 6-12 months; refer to recommendations included with the safety instructions when you purchase the toothbrush to be sure.

Charge your new Sonicare toothbrush a minimum of 24 hours prior to your first brushing. Then feel free to store your Sonicare toothbrush in the charger base when not in use, plugged in, for maximum battery life. Your brush can retain a charge for approximately two weeks of normal use (two times a day). See similar questions...

It depends on their age. In most cases, children 8 years of age or older can use a Sonicare toothbrush. However, we strongly advise you to check with the child's dental professional. The Sonicare Elite is easier to maneuver by children because it has a 30% smaller and 30% lighter handle than the Advance model. The tapered brush head also helps provide a comfortable cleaning. If you purchased a Sonicare Advance toothbrush, we suggest that children use our Compact brush head. See similar questions...

Because you cannot overcharge your Sonicare, feel free to store it in the charger. Since your Sonicare will hold its charge for approximately two weeks of normal use (brushing twice a day for two minutes), you can also choose to keep it out of the charger for much of the time. And Sonicare's extended charge time makes it perfect for travel. See similar questions...

All of our instruments are subjected to autoclave sterilization ? the same process that responsible hospitals and dental offices use. The autoclave is spore tested monthly to ensure it is in proper working order and these results are on display on the wall beside the front counter. Items or areas that are impossible to sterilize in this manner are covered by plastic barriers which are disposed of at the end of the procedure. See similar questions...

Special care must be taken with the socket until healing is complete. In the immediate time period after your surgery, the closed eyelid should be wiped gently with a cotton ball moistened with the sterile eye solution given to you when you are discharged; drops or ointment may also be prescribed. This helps to keep the socket free from infection. The healing process usually takes about two to four weeks. When you receive your ocular prosthesis, you may wash your face normally.

With difficulty! Perspiration comes with climbing mountains. Wearing the right clothes to reduce sweating, and overheating certainly helps, as does keeping ones load light. I tend to climb too fast and overheat, and will try to go more slowly. I'll wash my clothes using stream water reasonably often, and my hair too when the weather is warm. Otherwise I shall be on the lookout for anywhere with a shower (and a nice long bath occasionally in a Hotel). See similar questions...

A toothbrush cover keeps the brush clean for on-the-go use and at home. GUM toothbrush covers contain triclosan, an antibacterial ingredient that is active for up to eight weeks to protect the brush between uses. Try to ensure that the cover is ventilated so that it keeps bristles dry and straight. Alternatively dip your toothbrush into an antibacterial mouthwash (such as GUM® Paroex Alcohol-Free Mouthrinse) on a weekly basis. See similar questions...
