Using your toothbrush
![Oral-B - Braun Professional Care 1000 - Using your toothbrush Using your toothbrush]()
You can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance. Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces. Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» | Exceptional mouth cleaning. |
«Sensitive» | Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas. |
«Whitening» | Exceptional whitening for occasional or everyday use. |
How to switch between modes:
- When pressing the on/off button (c) your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
- To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Whitening» mode, successively press the on/off button.
- To turn off your toothbrush from the «Whitening» mode, push the on/off button once more.
- If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from the «Daily Clean» or «Sensitive» mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the motor stops.
Pressure Sensor
Helping protect your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light reminding you to reduce pressure. In addition you will also hear a different sound while brushing. Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush head during use.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth.
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time is memorised when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
In the first few days of using your electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode.

![]()
The Tongue Cleaner helps freshen breath. It is designed to help remove oral malodor and can be used everyday – before or after brushing. You can use mouthwash with the Tongue Cleaner. Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance on and drag it across the tongue from back to front. We recommend using the «Sensitive» mode for enhanced control during use. Rinse after use. Replace the Tongue Cleaner when the material becomes worn. - Interdental Cleaner
![]()
The Interdental Cleaner effectively cleans between the teeth and helps keep your gums healthy. It should be used before brushing. Break one pick cleaner off the base and insert it into the slot in the neck of the white pick holder. Attach the Interdental Cleaner to the handle and turn the appliance on. Depending on which part of your mouth you are cleaning, the pick holder should be adjusted by turning it, so that the blunt side always faces your gums. Guide the cleaner between your teeth and clean systematically from space to space. We recommend using the «Sensitive» mode for enhanced control during use. A pick cleaner can be used approximately two to three times until it becomes too soft to effectively fit and clean between the teeth. Replacement cleaners are available separately.
