that are beyond the control of HoMedics. This warranty is effective
only if the product is purchased and operated in the USA. A product
that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS,
ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT,
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
DANGER —TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTROCUTION:
• DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands.
• DO NOT place or store the charger base where it
can fall or be pulled into a tub, sink or toilet.
• DO NOT reach for a charger base that has fallen into
water. Unplug immediately.
• DO NOT use while bathing.
• DO NOT submerge the charger base in water or any
other liquid.
• This charger base is designed for use in 120-volt,
60 Hz outlet. NEVER force the plug into an outlet.
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,
ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR INJURY:
• DO NOT excessively bend or pull the cord. Unplug
the cord by grasping the plug—not the cord.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Use this product only for its intended use as
described in this manual. DO NOT use the product
for any other purpose.
• DO NOT use attachments not recommended by
HoMedics.
• DO NOT use outdoors or operate where aerosol
products are being used or where oxygen is being
administered.
• NEVER insert brush head into or remove it from the
universal handle while the product is on.
• NEVER operate the product if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, if the charging
base has been dropped or damaged, or if it has been
immersed in water. Return the product to HoMedics
service center for examination and repair.
• This product should never be used by any individual
suffering from any physical ailment that would limit the
user’s capacity to operate the controls.
• This unit should not be used by children without adult
supervision.
• Not recommended for children under 3.
• Avoid using a brush with crushed or bent bristles.
• NEVER use while sleeping or when drowsy.
• For household use only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The handle may warm up during charging. This has no effect on the
unit’s operation. SoniDent comes with 2 color coded brush heads for multiple
users.
SoniDent, the easy-to-use sonic plaque
remover will enhance your oral hygiene. The
rapid movement of the SoniDent disrupts
plaque beyond the bristle tips for a more thorough
clean with less effort.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow this procedure before you use
SoniDent for the first time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.
1. Plug the charger base into a 120-volt outlet. Place the SoniDent
handle into the base
and allow it to charge for at least 16 hours before using it for the first
time.
2. The charger indicator light on the handle will glow red when the
toothbrush is
correctly placed in the charger base. This is an indication that handle is
charging. The
indicator will turn off when the toothbrush is removed from the base.
3. The optimum voltage for charging is 120V.
4. To maintain the unit’s full performance, it should always be replaced
back on the charging base after use.
Note: Charge for at least 16 hours before using the unit for the first time.
HOW TO USE SONIDENT
1. Attach the brush head to the handle by positioning
the brush head at a 90-degree angle to the left of the
handle (See Figure A). Turn the brush head counter
clockwise one-quarter turn, so the bristles are facing
the same direction as the ON/OFF button, and the
brush head will snap into place (See Figure B).
2. Before brushing, wet the brush head to moisten,
then apply toothpaste.
3. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your
mouth before switching the SoniDent ON. Push the
ON/OFF button to activate the unit. The indicator
light will glow red when the power is on.
4. SoniDent has been designed with 3 different speed
levels to adjust to your own sensitivity level. Scroll
through the speeds (low, medium, high) by tapping
the arrow button.
5. Guide the brush head to your teeth, placing it at a
45-degree angle towards the gum line. Gently guide
the brush head from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on the surface of each tooth.
6. Brush the gum lines as well as the teeth, starting
with the outside teeth and gums, followed by the
insides and finish with the chewing surfaces. Ensure
that you spend equal time in all 4 quadrants of your
mouth.
7. Do not press to hard or scrub with this unit. The
sonic waves penetrate difficult-to-clean areas,
removing plaque and bacteria.
8. The auto timer will automatically turn the unit off after
the 2-minute dentist recommended brushing time.
Note: To turn the unit off before the 2 minutes have
elapsed, simply press the OFF button.
9. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.
10.Remove brush head and rinse under running water.
11.Brush heads should be replaced every 2-3 months to
ensure optimal performance.
HoMedics replacement brush heads (RH-S) for this
model are available at your local retailer or check
www.homedics.com for a list of retailers that offer these
replacement heads.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. After use, rinse the brush head for several seconds
under running water with the handle switched on.
2. Switch off the handle and take off the brush head.
3. Rinse both parts separately under running water
and wipe them dry. Note: Be sure to point the
handle downward (upside down) when rinsing. Do
not allow water to drain down into the handle.
4. After cleaning place the handle back on the
charging base. Note: For optimal charging base
stability, run the power cord through the right or left
slot on the back of the charging base.
5. When SoniDent is not in use for an extended
period, unplug the cord and store.
6. Clean the charger base periodically with a soft cloth
or paper towel. The charger base must be dry
before plugging it into an electrical outlet.
MEDICAL SAFEGUARDS
Please note the following instructions for your continued
safety.
1. Similar to starting any new oral hygiene product,
contact your dentist before using SoniDent if you have
had oral or periodontal surgery.
2. Contact your dentist if excessive bleeding occurs or if
bleeding continues after 2 weeks.
3. This product is designed for cleaning teeth and gums
only. Do not use for any other purpose.
Warning: Individuals with pacemakers should consult
a physician prior to use.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVING AND DISPOSING OF NI-CAD BATTERIES
SoniDent is equipped with long-lasting, rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries. To help protect our environment,
they should be removed at the end of the unit’s life for safe
disposal. Batteries CANNOT be replaced.
To remove the batteries before discarding product:

counter clockwise to remove the cap.

local regulations for environmental protection and
recycling of raw materials. Do not dispose of the
cell-pack by burning or incineration.

brush head every 2-3 months.
Note: We recommend soaking the brush head in a denture cleaner
(commercially available) every 2
to 4 weeks to keep it hygienically clean.
Caution: All servicing of this unit must be performed by authorized
HoMedics service personnel only.
Caution: Opening the handle will destroy the appliance and invalidate the
warranty.
Note: During the first few days of using, your gums may bleed slightly.
Any bleeding should stop within a few days. If your gums continue to bleed for
a period of 2 weeks or more, discontinue use and consult your dentist.
