If you press the brush too hard against your gums, you will feel and
hear a click when the brush head flexes backwards.As soon as you
reduce the pressure, the brush will return to its normal position.
This will probably happen regularly when you first start using the brush,
but after some time you will have discovered the optimal brushing
pressure, and the brush will flex backwards less often.
Tip: If plaque is removed properly, the gums will have a pink colour
and firmly surround the teeth. Healthy gums do not bleed when you
eat or brush your teeth (see also the section 'taking optimal care of
your teeth').
If, nevertheless, your gums bleed slightly the first few times you use the
brush, this bleeding will generally stop after a few days. If it does not,
consult your dentist or dental hygienist.
Minimum brushing time: 2 minutes
In general, 2 minutes will be enough to clean your teeth properly.
Therefore the brush is equipped with a red pilot light that will blink for
40 seconds when you have been brushing for 2 minutes (only type
HX2740).
Naturally, you can also brush longer than 2 minutes.
