4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections: outside upper teeth, inside upper
teeth, outside lower teeth and inside lower teeth. Begin brushing
the first section (outside upper teeth) and brush for 30 seconds
before moving to the next section (inside upper teeth). Continue
brushing the other two sections for 30 seconds each until you have
completed the -minute brushing cycle.
5 After the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can briefly switch on
the Sonicare again to brush the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Press the on/off button to switch the Sonicare on or off as needed.
To clean your mouth more completely, you can also brush your tongue
with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer.
Tips for specific oral care needs
Stain removal
,
For even better stain removal, dedicate a few seconds of extra brushing
time to areas where excess staining occurs.
Braces
,
Place the brush head at a 45-degree angle between the brackets and the
gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small circular
motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth for 2 seconds.
Then gently roll the brush handle so the bristles clean the bracket and
the rest of the tooth. Subsequently pass the bristles to the next tooth.
Continue this procedure until you have brushed all your teeth. Please note
that brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces.
Dental restorations
,
Use the Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns,
bridges and fillings) as you do on your natural tooth surfaces. Work the
bristles round all the areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.
Periodontal pockets
,
Your dentist or dental hygienist may have indicated that you have
periodontal pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is
the case, spend extra time brushing these areas after you have completed
the 2-minute brushing cycle to improve your gum health.
