Understanding Your Results
Create separate records for incompatible heads or different household members. The chosen interval is a review plan, not a guarantee of usable life.
The quantity beside the item name is the stock value used for LOW STOCK: quantity at or below your minimum triggers that status. Additional days, cycles, sets or dates describe the entered assumptions; they are not a live measurement. Recount after use, receipt or relocation. A different device reads the printed snapshot and does not automatically receive later inventory changes.
The chosen interval is not dental advice.
Practical Examples
These are illustrative household inputs, not product specifications or recommended use rates. Enter each record below, select Calculate & Save, and compare the displayed calculation.
Start a replacement-head review from first use
A current head needs a user-selected ninety-day review date.
Enter the current head’s actual first-use date.
Inputs: Spare heads or cartridges: 4; Current item start date: 2026-11-01; User chosen interval (days): 90.
Result: Start 2026-11-01 + 90 days = 2027-01-30. Follow product instructions and actual condition. Saved quantity: 4 items.
The review is January 30, 2027, with four spare heads recorded.
The chosen interval is not dental advice.

The current heads started on different dates.
Use separate names for the two installed heads.
Inputs — record 1: Spare heads or cartridges: 2; Current item start date: 2026-10-01; User chosen interval (days): 90.
Result: Start 2026-10-01 + 90 days = 2026-12-30. Follow product instructions and actual condition. Saved quantity: 2 items.
Inputs — record 2: Spare heads or cartridges: 2; Current item start date: 2026-11-01; User chosen interval (days): 90.
Result: Start 2026-11-01 + 90 days = 2027-01-30. Follow product instructions and actual condition. Saved quantity: 2 items.
The reviews fall on December 30 and January 30 respectively.
Avoid sensitive personal names on publicly readable labels.

The installed head should not be counted as an unused spare. The spare warning is independent of the December 31 review. A low-stock flag is not a health assessment.
Assuming every February has twenty-eight days changes the result. The review is March 2, 2024. This is calendar arithmetic for a chosen interval.
Entering the old year for January would be wrong. The review falls on January 19, 2027. The tool does not send background notifications.
How do I count down from a year-end head installation?
Let the tool calculate across the December boundary. The review falls on January 19, 2027.
The tool does not send background notifications.
How do I receive spare cartridges without resetting the installed cartridge?
Increase spare quantity only. The review remains December 1.
Start-date changes should correspond to a real installation event.
How do I separate incompatible replacement-head models?
Give each compatible group its own clearly named record. Each group retains its own spare count and review date.
Compatibility must be checked on the actual product.
How do I restore replacement planning data from JSON?
Export JSON and compare both date fields after previewed import. The restored review remains December 4.
No cross-device cloud synchronization is provided.
How do I replace the label when fitting a new head?
Save the reduced reserve and new start date, then rebuild. The new review moves to March 1, 2027.
Physically remove the superseded date label.
