Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle,
pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or slightly
beneath the gumline. (Fig. 4)
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all times.
3
Press the power on/off and mode button to switch on the Philips
Sonicare.
4
Apply light pressure to maximise Philips Sonicare’s effectiveness and
let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not
scrub.
5
Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back
and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
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. 5).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
7
Brush each section for 30 seconds for a total brushing time of 2
minutes. Start with section 1 (outside top teeth) and then brush
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue with section 3 (outside
bottom teeth) and finally brush section 4 (inside bottom
teeth) (Fig. 6).
8
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 switched on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 7).
The Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
-
Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
Note: Ensure that braces or dental restorations are properly adhered and not
compromised. If not, braces or dental restorations may be damaged when
they come into contact with the brush head.
