Quip Toothbrush Overview
Quip toothbrush heads are recommended to be replaced every 3 months, just like other toothbrushes. The actual Quip toothbrush handle can last a very long time, but the AAA battery will need to be replaced, on average, every 90 days. Quip has a subscription model that you can enroll in so your toothbrush head can be sent automatically for you. Pause, skip, change or cancel the subscription at any time.

Additional Information on Quip Toothbrush Head Replacement
Quip recommends replacing your toothbrush head every 3 months. This is because the bristles on your toothbrush head can wear down over time and become less effective at cleaning your teeth. Additionally, the bristles can harbor bacteria, so it's important to replace them regularly to prevent the spread of germs.
Quip offers a subscription plan that automatically delivers new toothbrush heads to your door every 3 months. This is a convenient way to ensure that you never forget to replace your toothbrush head.
A study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association found that people who replaced their toothbrush heads every 3 months had significantly less plaque and gingivitis than those who replaced their toothbrush heads less often.
According to a survey by the American Dental Association, only about 20% of people replace their toothbrush heads every 3 months as recommended. This means that the majority of people are not replacing their toothbrush heads as often as they should, which can lead to poor oral health.
