brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance (picture 3, page

on each tooth surface (picture 5, page 2). When using the Oral-B «Deep Sweep»
brush head place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline. Apply light pressure and start brushing in back-and-forth
motions, just like you would do with a manual toothbrush (picture 6, page 2).
With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides, and finally
the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may
also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for
you.
In the first few days of using an electric toothbrush, your 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. If you have
sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode
(optional in combination with the Oral-B Sensitive Gum Care brush head).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
- Daily Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.

Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement needs. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway down approximately in a 3-month period. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums (picture 1, page 2). We do not recommend using the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B ProWhite brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B Ortho brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing, rinse your brush head carefully under running water for some seconds with the handle switched on. Switch off the handle and remove the brush head. Clean both parts separately under running water; then wipe them dry before reassembling the toothbrush. Disassemble the charging unit before cleaning. The brush head holder (g) is dishwasher-safe. Never place the charger in the dishwasher or water. It should be cleaned with a damp cloth only (picture 7, page 2).
