GETTING STARTED
Recommended Technique
Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to
your gumline. Slightly close lips to avoid
splashing but allow water to flow freely from
mouth into the sink. For best results, start in the
molar area (back teeth) working toward the front
teeth. Glide jet tip along gumline and pause briefly
between teeth. Continue until all areas around and
between the teeth have been cleaned.
Pause Control
You can temporarily stop the flow any time by
pressing the pause button on the handle.
When Finished
Turn the unit off. Empty any liquid left in the
reservoir. Unplug the unit.

Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with the brush
head on the tooth at the gum line. The toothbrush
tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Turn
the dental water jet on so water flows through the
tip. Using a light pressure (bristles should not
bend) vibrate the brush back and forth with very
short strokes – much like you would with a manual
toothbrush. Repeat on adjacent teeth. Water will
flow through the brush, to help simultaneously
clean and rinse the tooth surface.
