2 Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles (Fig. 6).
3 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. 7).
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
4 Press the power on/off and mode button to turn on your Philips
Sonicare (Fig. 8).
5 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. 9).
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub.
6 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. 10).
7 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30
seconds (45 seconds in Deep Clean mode) before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside
bottom teeth) and brush for 30 seconds (45 seconds in Deep
Clean mode) before moving to section 4 (inside bottom teeth (Fig.
11)).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,
divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature
(see chapter 'Features').
Note: 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 can also brush your tongue, with
the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 12).
Your Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers).
