Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste.
To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your
teeth before switching on the appliance (picture 2,
page 5). When brushing your teeth with one of the
rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly
from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on
each tooth surface (picture 3, page 5).
When using the Deep Sweep brush head place the
toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline. Apply light pressure and start
brushing in back and forth motions, just like you
would do with a manual toothbrush.
With any brush head start brushing the outsides,
then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces.
Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You
may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist
about the right technique for you.
In the first days of using any 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
(optional in combination with the Oral-B Sensitive
Gum Care brush head).
Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer and «Count up» or «Count down»
timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with four beeps
and a Smiley on the SmartGuide that the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been
reached.
In addition the «Professional» timer signals with
short beep sounds at 30-seconds intervals to move
to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds
intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) (picture 3,
page 5). A single beep indicates completion of the
first quadrant, two beeps the second one, three
beeps the third one and four beeps sound when you
reach the recommended 2-minute brushing time
(3-minute brushing time within «Deep Clean» mode).
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time,
even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than
30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d)
during pause.
The «Count up» timer displays your actual brushing
time. The «Count down» timer indicates the
remaining brushing time.
Personalizing the timer
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» and
«Count up» timer activated. To change this, press
and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds
until the SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer».
Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the
«2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm.
The SmartGuide now shows «up» and «timer». Press
the on/off button to switch to the «Count down»
timer and confirm with the mode button. Leave the
setup menu by pressing the mode button.
