Removing plaque
The plaque remover can be used with any leading brand
of toothpaste. However, we do not recommend
toothpastes with whitening agents.
To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to your teeth
before switching the handle on.
Guide the brushhead from tooth to tooth, following the
curve of the gum and the shape of each tooth. Hold the
brushhead in place for a few seconds before moving on
to the next tooth. Brush the gums as well as the teeth.
Do not press too hard nor scrub – simply let the brush do
all the work.
During the first few days of using the plaque remover,
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 hygienist.
