Tips for specific oral care needs
Stain removal
,
In areas where staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to assist with
stain removal.
Braces
,
The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle between your brackets
45º 45º
and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small circular
motion so that the long bristles reach between your teeth for 2 seconds.
Then gently turn (roll) the brush handle so the bristles clean the bracket
and the rest of the tooth before you move the bristles to the next tooth.
Continue this until you have brushed all of your teeth. Please note that
brush heads will wear out sooner when used on braces.
Dental restorations (dental work)
,
Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns, bridges
and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to reduce plaque
build-up and improve gum health. Work the bristles around all areas of the
restoration for thorough cleaning.
Periodontal pockets
,
Your dental professional may have indicated that you have periodontal
pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case, after
brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra time gently brushing these areas
to improve your gum health.
