Gum Stimulator Replacement Tips

Gum stimulation is an important part of dental health, and there are several different types of gum stimulating devices designed specifically for that purpose. The type of device that you have, as well as your dental needs, will determine the type of gum stimulator replacement tip you purchase.

  1. Rubber Gum Stimulators

    • Butler Gum and Oral-B, as well as other manufacturers, sell rubber gum stimulators, designed to help prevent gingivitis. There are several different types, some designed for extra-sensitive gums, others for handheld manual devices, and some for electronic devices.

    Gum Stimulating Toothbrush Tips

    • The Oral-B Interdental Brush is designed for cleaning and massaging gums, as well as cleaning around bridges, braces and in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Similar products are available from other manufacturers as well. The type of replacement tips needed will depend on the size and shape of the brush. Some brushes are compact, while others are full sized. Double-sided, tapered and cylindrical brush head tips are available as well.

    Vibrating Gum Stimulator TIps

    • Some electronic gum stimulators are also designed to vibrate for added gum massage and stimulation benefits. The Dental Mate Gum stimulator is one such product, and is designed to fit both Dental Mate replacement tips as well as gum massager replacement tips designed for vibrating devices manufactured by other companies.
