Using your Philips Sonicare toothbrush
Brushing instructions
If you are using your Sonicare toothbrush for the first
time, it is normal to feel more vibration than when using
a non-electric toothbrush. It is common for first-time
users to apply too much pressure. Only apply gentle
pressure and let the toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Please follow the brushing instructions below for the best
experience.
To help you transition to your new Sonicare power
toothbrush, use a lower setting for the first 1-2 weeks
then transition to a higher setting.
1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of
toothpaste.
2 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.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the
teeth at all times.
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Philips
Sonicare.
4 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.
Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. It is not
recommended to scrub as you would with a manual
toothbrush.
