4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside
bottom and inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1
(outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds
in each section progressing through all 4 sections until you've
brushed for 2 minutes.
5 After having completed the 2-minute brushing cycle, additional
time should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your
teeth.
6 Press the power button to turn the brush on and off as
needed.

You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on
or off, as you prefer.
Tips for specific oral care needs
◗
Stain removal
In areas where staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to assist with
stain removal.
C
◗
Braces
The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle between your
brackets and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a
small circular motion so that the long bristles reach between your
teeth for 2 seconds.Then gently turn (roll) the brush handle so the
bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth before you move
the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed all
of your teeth. Please note that brush heads will wear out sooner when
used on braces.
◗
Dental restorations (dental work)
Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns,
bridges and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to
reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health. Work the bristles
around all areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.
◗
Periodontal pockets
Your dental professional may have indicated that you have periodontal
pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case,
after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra time gently brushing
these areas to improve your gum health.
