Using the Sonicare

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
towards the gumline (Fig. 6).
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
4 Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare's effectiveness and let
the 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 your brushing cycle.
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 top teeth) and brush for
30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth).
Continue brushing in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush
for 30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom 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 may also brush your tongue,
with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 8).
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
