Using your Philips Sonicare
Brushing instructions
-
Press the brush head onto the handle in such a way that the bristles will face the front of the handle.
-
Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal shaft until it stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and the handle. -
Wet the bristles.
-
Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles.
-
Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45 degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath the gumline. A change in vibration (and a slight change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much pressure while brushing.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all times. -
Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare.
-
Gently keep the bristles placed on the teet and in the gumline. Brush your teeth with small back and forth motion so the bristles reach between the teeth.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub. -
To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth.
-
To make sure you brush evenly throughou the mouth, divide the mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature. The quadpacer feature beeps after 30 seconds.
-
Brush for the full 2 minutes following the Quadpacer. After 2 minutes, the toothbrush will automatically shut off.
-
After you have completed the brushin cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on: -
Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
-
Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical studies, it must be used in the Clean mode (for plaque and gum health claims) or in White mode (for whitening claims) at high intensity with EasyStart turned off.
