Blotting Brush | Authentic

Q: What is the Phillips Blotting Brush used for?
A: The Phillips Blotting Brush is designed for a unique oral care technique that removes plaque using capillary action, rather than simply moving it around like traditional brushing.

Q: How does blotting differ from regular brushing?
A: Unlike conventional brushing, which often pushes plaque around or under the gums, blotting lifts plaque from the teeth and gum margins and holds it in the brush for effective removal.

Q: Is the brush suitable for sensitive gums?
A: Yes, the Phillips Blotting Brush uses ultra-fine, round-end nylon bristles (0.007″ diameter) that are exceptionally gentle on gums while still being effective at removing plaque.

Q: Who can use the Phillips Blotting Brush?
A: The brush is suitable for adults and particularly beneficial for those with gum sensitivity, gum disease, or those seeking a gentler yet more effective oral hygiene method.

Q: How often should I use the blotting technique?
A: It is recommended to use the Phillips Blotting Brush at least twice a day, just as you would with a regular toothbrush, ideally after meals.

Q: Do I need toothpaste when using the blotting technique?
A: No, toothpaste is not necessary. The blotting technique relies on mechanical action to remove plaque, and works effectively without foaming agents.

Q: Can the Phillips Blotting Brush help with bad breath?
A: Yes, by thoroughly cleaning not only the teeth but also the tongue, cheeks, gums, and roof of the mouth, the technique helps eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Q: How do I clean the blotting brush after use?
A: Simply rinse the brush thoroughly under warm water, shake off excess moisture, and store it in its blotter cover to help maintain the bristles' shape and hygiene.

Q: How often should I replace the blotting brush?
A: For best results, replace your brush every 2–3 months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or deformed.

Q: Can children use the Phillips Blotting Brush?
A: This version is designed for adults, but children can benefit from a similar technique with a specially designed children’s blotting brush, consult your dental professional for guidance.
