Using the Sonicare For Kids
Brushing instructions
For children under age 8, it is recommended that a parent or adult caregiver
perform toothbrushing.
1
Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2
Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline (Fig. 6).
3
Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
4
Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the
Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
5
Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back
and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between the teeth.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the mouth
into 4 sections using the KidPacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
6
Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) until a tune indicates it is
time to move to section 2 (inside top teeth). At the next tune, move to
section 3 (outside bottom teeth). The next tune indicates it is time to
move to section 4 (inside bottom teeth). The toothbrush automatically
switches off at end of the brushing cycle (Fig. 7).
7
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 may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush
switched on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 8).
The Sonicare For Kids is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
Brushing modes
The toothbrush automatically starts in the default high mode.
1
Press the brushing mode button to toggle between modes (Fig. 9).
,
The green mode light indicates the selected mode.
- High mode: Full-strength mode designed for older/independent brushers.
- Low mode: Reduced power mode used for training and introducing
younger children to the sonic experience.
