A pointed head focuses on one area; a standard head covers more surface. Check each one’s fit.

What matters for this question
- A pointed or single-tuft design targets a small area. A standard head covers more tooth surface per pass; these are complementary shapes rather than a universal upgrade path.
- Check whether your exact handle accepts the specialized attachment. Some brands sell pointed heads only within one system.
