Brushing instructions
1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
(45 degrees), pressing rmly to make the bristles reach the gumline
or slightly beneath the gumline (Fig. 5).
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all times.
3 Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare
toothbrush.
4 Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in the gumline.
Brush your teeth with small back and forth motion so the bristles
reach between the teeth. Continue this motion throughout your
brushing cycle.
Note: The bristles should slightly are. Do not scrub.
5 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 (Fig. 6).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper teeth) and brush for
30 seconds before you move to section 2 (inside upper teeth).
Continue brushing in section 3 (outside lower teeth) and brush for
30 seconds before you move to section 4 (inside lower teeth) (Fig. 7).
7 After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend additional
time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where
staining occurs. You can also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush
turned on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 8).
The Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)
