Facing the problem related to Electric Toothbrush Not Charging? I am here to fix it. When it comes to your teeth, even the most basic actions can make a big difference in your dental health.
Everyone knows to brush their teeth every day and floss, but do you know how to take care of your electric toothbrush? You can really extend the life of your toothbrush if you take proper care of it by following these steps.
Reset the toothbrush
Your electric toothbrush probably has a button you can press that allows you to reset it. Usually, you can hold down that button for about 10 seconds and your toothbrush will restart.
Just press it again after 30 seconds, once your battery has charged. If that doesn’t work, try plugging it into a different outlet or using a different power adaptor (if available).
Replace the head
It’s hard to believe how many people try to fix things that don’t need fixing. Just because it seems like a good idea, doesn’t mean it is! If your electric toothbrush will not charge, chances are you need a new head. When we use our toothbrushes, small hair-like bristles wear out and break off during each brushing session.
This can clog up the charging mechanism of your toothbrush causing it to stop working properly. In order for your brush to work properly again, replace its head with a new one from Oral B or another manufacturer.
You can find replacement heads at most major retailers or online at Amazon or eBay.

Use mouthwash or baking soda
If your toothbrush isn’t charging, there could be two things wrong: The battery or USB connection could be faulty. Try using mouthwash on your toothbrush for a week to see if that refreshes it.
If not, try using baking soda and water on a damp rag to scrub off any residue that may have built up over time. For both of these methods, give it 24 hours before trying again to charge your toothbrush.
You can use vinegar in place of mouthwash for an additional boost; vinegar has natural antibacterial properties.
Restore power using an outlet adapter
Using an outlet adapter to charge your electric toothbrush is a simple solution to keeping your brush functioning at its best. Outlet adapters can be found in any hardware store and are especially useful when traveling.
They’re easy to use: simply plug your adaptor into a wall outlet and then plug your toothbrush into it. This will keep your brush charged and ready for action! Just make sure you have enough battery life before unplugging your toothbrush.
When possible, it’s best to leave your electric toothbrush plugged in while not in use because leaving it sitting on a charger can significantly reduce its lifetime.
Use a different outlet
If your electric toothbrush isn’t charging, make sure you are using a compatible outlet. Most electric toothbrushes require 110-120 V to charge, while other small appliances require 120 V to work.
If you have other devices plugged into your socket and they aren’t working, it might be time to upgrade your outlets. You can buy new outlets and install them yourself or hire an electrician to do it for you.
No matter what your skill level is, new outlets will ensure that all of your devices are getting enough power.
Replace the battery
If your electric toothbrush is still under warranty, check with your retailer for information on replacement. If it’s out of warranty, you can buy a replacement battery from your retailer.
Removing and replacing batteries isn’t difficult, but if you need help, many retailers have in-store service departments that can help install your new battery for you. Remember to turn off your toothbrush before removing or replacing its battery.
Your brush might reset itself when its power source changes. Finally, don’t worry about destroying electronics by using incorrect batteries. Electric toothbrushes are designed to automatically regulate current from different kinds of batteries.

Conclusion
There are a few reasons your electric toothbrush might not be charging. Each manufacturer makes its own charger and there’s really no standard for electronics like there is with USB cables.
If you notice your toothbrush still doesn’t charge, make sure to check these two places: 1) The wall outlet (make sure it’s on!) 2) The small metal prongs inside of your device that plug into the wall adapter (make sure they’re connected).
If it still does not charge, then you probably should change your brush. Get a new one and start brushing your teeth.
