4 Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare’s effectiveness
and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Do not scrub.
5 Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small
back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
6 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. 7).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,
divide your mouth into 6 sections using the BrushPacer feature
(see chapter ‘Features’).
7 Follow the Sonicare app's brushing guidance combined with the
BrushPacer and begin brushing in section 1 (upper right teeth) and
brush for 20 seconds before you move to section 2 (upper front
teeth). Continue doing this for section 3 till 6 to ensure even
brushing in all 6 segments of the mouth (Fig. 8).
Note: When using the White mode, two additional 20 second
intervals can be used for polishing your front teeth.
8 The Philips Sonicare app helps to address any missed spots by
guiding you to spend 20 seconds in the areas you missed during
brushing.
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: Ensure that braces or dental restorations are properly adhered
and not compromised. If not, braces or dental restorations may be
damaged when they come into contact with the brush head.
Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical studies,
the handle should be fully charged and the Easy-start feature
deactivated.
Brushing modes
Note: When the toothbrush is switched on, you cannot toggle
between modes.
