How is the Dandelion 360°Toothbrush different from a regular toothbrush?

Traditional toothbrushes have a flat bristle head that cleans one surface at a time, requiring you to angle and reposition constantly. The Dandelion 360° features a cylindrical brush head with over 15,000 bristles that wrap around each tooth, cleaning front, back, and chewing surfaces simultaneously. No special technique needed—just place it on your teeth and let the design do the work.

Is it suitable for sensitive teeth and gums?

Absolutely. The bristles are just 0.08mm in diameter, significantly thinner than standard toothbrush bristles. The rounded tips provide a gentle massage rather than harsh scrubbing, making it ideal for sensitive gums, receding gum lines, or anyone who experiences discomfort with regular brushing.

Can I use it with braces or dental work?

Yes, and this is where the 360° design really shines. The all-around bristle coverage reaches around brackets, wires, bridges, and implants without requiring awkward angles. The capillary effect helps draw debris away from hardware instead of pushing it deeper into gaps.

How often should I replace the brush head?

We recommend replacing your Dandelion toothbrush every 2-3 months, or sooner if bristles appear worn. This ensures optimal cleaning performance and hygiene.

Is it safe for children?

Yes. We offer specially designed children's
toothbrushes with the same 360° technology, sized appropriately for smaller
mouths. The gentle bristles and easy-to-use design make brushing more effective and even fun for kids.

What materials are used?

All Dandelion toothbrushes are made from BPA-free PP and Nylon. They're durable, safe, and can withstand high-temperature disinfection up to 100°C or chlorine cleaning for optimal hygiene.

Where is the technology developed?

The Dandelion 360° Toothbrush combines cutting-edge Japanese technology with ergonomic innovation and has been tested in collaboration with Osaka University.

How long should I brush with the 360° toothbrush?

We recommend brushing for the standard two minutes, just like with any toothbrush. However, many users find the 360° design makes brushing feel faster and more thorough because all surfaces are cleaned simultaneously. The key is consistency, brush twice daily for optimal results.

Do I need to use a special brushing technique?

No, and that's one of the biggest advantages. Simply place the brush on your teeth and move it gently along your dental arch. The cylindrical design with 360° bristle coverage does the work for you: no angling, rotating, or complicated patterns required. It's brushing made simple.

Can I use regular toothpaste with it?

Absolutely. The Dandelion 360° Toothbrush works perfectly with any toothpaste you prefer: fluoride, whitening, sensitive, natural, or charcoal formulas. Just apply toothpaste around the bristle head as you would with a regular brush.

Does it work as a tongue cleaner too?

Yes. The dense bristle arrangement and soft texture make it effective for gently cleaning your tongue, helping remove bacteria that cause bad breath. It's a multi-purpose tool for complete oral care without needing separate devices.

How does 98.4% plaque removal compare to regular toothbrushes?

Standard manual toothbrushes typically remove 40-60% of plaque, depending on technique and brushing time. The Dandelion 360° achieves 98.4% plaque removal because its all-around bristle coverage reaches surfaces that flat-head brushes consistently miss—particularly along the gum line and between teeth.

Will I notice a difference immediately?

Most users report noticing a difference after their very first brush. Your teeth will feel remarkably smooth and clean, that "just left the dentist" feeling. Over time, you'll likely notice healthier gums, fresher breath, and better checkup results.

Can it help with bad breath?

Yes. Bad breath primarily comes from bacteria on the tongue and plaque buildup in hard-to-reach areas. The 360° design removes significantly more plaque than traditional brushes, and its effectiveness as a tongue cleaner targets odor-causing bacteria at the source.

Does it help prevent cavities better than traditional brushes?

The logic is straightforward: cavities form where plaque sits undisturbed. By removing 98.4% of plaque, including in spots traditional brushes miss, the Dandelion 360° significantly reduces your cavity risk. It's especially effective at protecting vulnerable areas like back molars and the gum line.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

Yes, completely safe. Pregnancy often causes increased gum sensitivity and a higher risk of gingivitis due to hormonal changes. The ultra-soft bristles and gentle cleaning action make the Dandelion 360° an excellent choice for expectant mothers who need effective but comfortable oral care.

Can elderly people with limited mobility use it easily?

Absolutely, and this is one of its standout benefits. The 360° design eliminates the need for precise wrist movements, angling, or complex brushing patterns. Simply place it on your teeth and move it along, the bristles do the rest. The ergonomic handle provides comfortable grip for users with arthritis or reduced dexterity.

How do I clean and store the toothbrush?

Rinse thoroughly under running water after each use to remove toothpaste and debris. Store upright in a well-ventilated area to air dry. For deeper cleaning, the BPA-free materials withstand disinfection with hot water up to 100°C or chlorine-based cleaning solutions.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

We don't recommend dishwasher cleaning as the high heat and harsh detergents may affect bristle integrity over time. Instead, use hot water (up to 100°C) or a mild disinfecting solution for thorough sanitization while preserving the brush quality.

How long does one toothbrush typically last?

With proper care, each Dandelion toothbrush lasts 2-3 months of regular use, the same replacement cycle dentists recommend for any toothbrush. Replace sooner if you notice bristle fraying or reduced cleaning effectiveness.

Is this toothbrush dentist-recommended?

The Dandelion 360° Toothbrush was developed using Japanese technological expertise and tested in collaboration with Osaka University. While individual dentist recommendations vary, the design principles align with what dental professionals advise: gentle bristles, thorough coverage, and effective plaque removal.

Are there clinical studies supporting the claims?

Yes. The 98.4% plaque removal rate and overall effectiveness have been tested and validated through research conducted in collaboration with Osaka University. The innovative capillary effect and bristle density are backed by scientific development, not just marketing claims.
