Safety Considerations
- Water Resistance: Ensure that the toothbrush and its charging base are designed to be water-resistant. This is crucial as electric toothbrushes are often used in a wet environment, such as the bathroom. The MGW MC168 Sonic Electric Toothbrush is typically designed to be water-resistant, but it’s essential to check the user manual for specific guidelines.
- Charging Safety: Use only the charger and adapter provided with the toothbrush. Avoid using incompatible chargers, which can pose safety risks. Follow the recommended charging times and procedures outlined in the user manual to prevent overcharging.
- Dentistry Recommendations: Consult with your dentist or dental hygienist before using an electric toothbrush, especially if you have specific dental conditions or concerns. They can provide guidance on the appropriate brushing technique and any special precautions you should take.
Clean And Healthy System
- Children and Supervision: If the MGW MC168 Sonic Electric Toothbrush is intended for use by children, ensure that they are supervised during brushing, especially for younger children. The toothbrush may come with age-appropriate brush heads and settings for children.
- Brush Head Replacement: Regularly replace the brush head as recommended by the manufacturer, typically every three months or as indicated in the user manual. Worn-out brush heads may be less effective and could cause irritation or injury to the gums.
- Battery Safety: If the toothbrush uses a lithium-ion battery, be aware of the signs of battery damage or malfunction, such as swelling, overheating, or leakage. If you notice any of these signs, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer for guidance.
- Storage: Store the toothbrush and charger in a dry location away from water sources and moisture. This will help prevent damage to the electrical components and reduce the risk of electrical hazards.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the toothbrush handle, brush heads, and charging base as recommended in the user manual. Proper cleaning ensures that no bacteria or mold build up, which could be harmful to oral health.
Cleaning Modes
Maintenance
- Rinse After Each Use: After brushing your teeth, thoroughly rinse both the toothbrush head and the handle under running water to remove any toothpaste residue and debris. This prevents the buildup of bacteria and maintains hygiene.
- Remove and Clean the Brush Head: Periodically remove the brush head from the toothbrush handle for a more thorough cleaning. Rinse the brush head separately under running water. You can also soak it in warm, soapy water for a deeper clean. Make sure to rinse and dry it completely before reattaching it to the handle.
- Clean the Handle: Wipe down the toothbrush handle with a damp cloth to remove any water droplets, toothpaste, or other residues. Ensure that the charging port and other openings remain dry to prevent damage.
- Charging: Charge your electric toothbrush as needed, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Overcharging can reduce battery life, so unplug the charger once the toothbrush is fully charged.
- Replacing Brush Heads: Sonic toothbrush heads typically wear out over time. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for when to replace the brush head, usually every three to four months or when the bristles start to show signs of wear.
- Avoid Submerging: To prevent damage, do not submerge the entire toothbrush or its handle in water. Sonic toothbrushes are designed to be water-resistant but not fully waterproof.

Troubleshooting
No Power/Not Turning On:
- Ensure that the toothbrush is properly charged. Connect it to the charging base or USB charger and leave it for a while to charge fully.
- Check the power button. Make sure you are pressing it firmly and for a sufficient duration to turn the toothbrush on.
- Confirm that the battery is not completely depleted, which can sometimes happen with older toothbrushes. If the battery no longer holds a charge, it may need to be replaced.
Weak Vibration/Noisy Operation:
- Clean the brush head and the area around the oscillating mechanism. Debris or toothpaste buildup can hinder the brush’s movement and reduce effectiveness.
- Make sure the brush head is securely attached. Loose brush heads may not vibrate properly.
- If the brush head is worn out, replace it with a new one. Worn bristles can affect cleaning performance.
Charging Issues:
- Check the charging base or USB charger for any damage or loose connections. Ensure that the toothbrush is properly seated on the charging base.
- Use a different charging cable and adapter to rule out cable-related issues.
- Ensure that the toothbrush is clean and dry when you place it on the charger. Water or moisture in the charging area can cause problems.
Battery Life Problems:
- If you notice a significant decrease in battery life, it may be time to replace the rechargeable battery inside the toothbrush handle.
- Avoid overcharging the toothbrush, as this can degrade battery life over time.
Intermittent Operation:
- Check for loose connections or worn-out components within the toothbrush handle.
- Make sure there are no obstructions around the power button or mode selection button that could be causing them to stick.
Brush Head Replacement Reminder:
- If the toothbrush has a built-in reminder to replace the brush head, pay attention to it and replace the brush head as recommended. Using an old brush head can reduce cleaning effectiveness.
If All Else Fails:
- If you’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps and the toothbrush still doesn’t work correctly, contact the manufacturer’s customer support or refer to the user manual for specific troubleshooting guidance for your model.
