Using the toothbrush

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance (picture 2).
When brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B oscillating-rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface.
With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. Do not press too hard, simply let the brush do all the work (picture 4). You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you.
In the first few days of using any electric toothbrush, gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist.

Professional timer: A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time.

Brush heads

Oral-B CrossAction brush head
Our most advanced brush head. Angled bristles for a precise clean. Lifts and powers away plaque.

Oral-B Sensitive Clean brush head
features a combination of regular bristles to clean teeth surfaces and ultrathin bristles for a gentle brushing experience on the gumline.
- Most Oral-B brush heads feature INDICATOR® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the colour will fade approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before the colour recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums (picture 4).
- We do not recommend using the Oral-B «FlossAction» or Oral-B «3D White» brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Cleaning recommendations

After use, rinse the brush head for several seconds under running water with the handle switched on. Switch off and remove the brush head. Rinse both parts separately under running water and wipe them dry before reassembling the toothbrush. Unplug the charger before cleaning. Charging unit (D) and travel case (F) should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. Never place charging unit in water. Store the clean and dry toothbrush/brush heads in the travel case. Brush head holder (E) is dishwasher-safe (picture 5). Subject to change without notice.

Environmental notice
