3 Wet the bristles. (Fig. 4)
4 Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. (Fig. 5)
5 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45
degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or
slightly beneath the gumline. (Fig. 6) A change in vibration (and a
slight change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much
pressure while brushing.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
6 Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare. (Fig.
7)
7 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. (Fig. 8)
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub.
8 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. 9)
9 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature. (Fig. 10) The
quadpacer feature beeps after 30 seconds.
10 Brush for the full 2 minutes following the Quadpacer. (Fig. 11) After
2 minutes, the toothbrush will automatically shut off.
- After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs. (Fig. 12)
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: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical studies,
it must be used in the Clean mode (for plaque and gum health claims)
with EasyStart turned off.
