Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE has been carefully designed to offer
you and your family a new brushing experience that is both
safe and effective. When using electrical products, however,
some basic safety precautions should always be followed.
IMPORTANT
• The Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE is provided with a SmartPlug
(integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage) power supply. Do not
exchange or manipulate any part of it, as there is a risk
of electric shock. Periodically check the SmartPlug for
damage and if the appliance is damaged or non-functional,
stop use of the product. Take damaged units to an Oral-B
Braun®Service Centre.
• This product is not intended for use by children under age
three.
• This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless
they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety.
• If the product is dropped, the brush head should be
replaced before the next use, even if no damage is visible.
• Keep the SmartPlug away from water or other liquid.
• Do not modify or repair the product. This may cause fire,
electric shock or injury. Consult your dealer for repairs
or contact an Oral-B Braun Service Centre. Do not
disassemble the product, except when disposing of the
battery.
• When taking out the battery for disposal, use caution not to
short the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.
• Do not touch the SmartPlug with wet hands. This can cause
an electric shock.
• Use this product only for its intended use as described in
this manual. Do not use attachments or chargers not
recommended.
• If you are undergoing treatment for any oral care condition,
consult your dental professional prior to use.
• This product is made for indoor use only.

Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe
and designed for use in the bathroom.
To assemble the charging unit, insert the protective cover (h)
on the back of the base plate (g). Then, place the base plate
on the charging ring (f) until it clicks into place.
• Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush handle (d) on the charging unit. A battery symbol
should appear in the handle display (e).
• The battery symbol will fill up while the handle is being
charged and «Charging» will be displayed. When the
handle is fully charged, the handle display shows «Full
Charge». A full charge takes at least 10 hours and enables
approximately 10 days of regular brushing (twice a day,
2 minutes).
Please note: If the battery symbol is not displayed
immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10–15
minutes.
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the bars of the
battery symbol will disappear and «Low» will be displayed.
Your toothbrush will slow down and then stop. It is time
to recharge Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE. When the battery is fully
discharged, «Empty» is displayed. It will then need a
15-minute charge before you can use it for a 2-minute
brushing.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on
the charging unit to maintain it at full power. There is no risk
of overcharging the battery. However for environmental
reasons, Oral-B recommends to unplug the charging unit
until the next recharge is required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable
battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the
handle with regular use at least every 6 months.
For electric specifications, see printing on the SmartPlug.
Personalizing your toothbrush
You can program your toothbrush so that it meets your
specific needs. You can choose the language and the timer
that works best for you.

Select your language
Your toothbrush comes with the English language activated.
If you wish to switch to another language, proceed as follows:
Press and hold the brushing mode button (c) until «English» is
displayed. You can scroll through 13 different languages by
briefly pressing the on/off button (b). To confirm the desired
language, briefly press the brushing mode button again. This
will also lead you to the timer choice menu.
Select your timer
You can choose between the «Professional» or «2-Minute»
timer to meet your specific needs.
The «2-Minute Timer» indicates by a long stuttering sound
when the dentist recommended 2-minute brushing time has
been reached.
The «Professional Timer» helps you brush all four quadrants of
your mouth equally. It signals with a short stuttering sound at
30-second intervals (45 seconds intervals within «Deep Clean»
mode) that it is time to move to the next quadrant of your
mouth, followed by a long stuttering sound when you reach
the recommended two minute mark.
The total brushing time can be extended to 3 minutes by
using the «Deep Clean» mode (see «Brushing modes»).
Both timers memorize the elapsed brushing time, even when
the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets to the initial
starting point.
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional Timer»
activated. If you wish to switch to the «2-Minute Timer» press
the on/off button (b) after you have confirmed the language.
Then, press the brushing mode button (c) to confirm your
choice.
Brushing
You can start your toothbrush by pressing the on/off button
(b). To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching the appliance on.

Brushing technique
• Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth.
• Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before
moving on to the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then
the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all
the work.
Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE has a pressure control feature to help
ensure that the right degree of pressure is applied. This helps
protect your gums from excessive brushing and makes your
toothbrush easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied,
the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but
the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling the change, you
can also hear a different sound.
In the first days of using your 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.
Brushing modes
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes for varying
oral care needs:
«Daily Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for
sensitive areas.
«Massage» – Gentle massage of gums.
«Whitening» – Polishing and whitening for occasional
or everyday use.
«Deep Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning with
extended brushing time. Within this
mode the brushing time has been
extended to 45 seconds per quadrant
for a total brushing time of 3 minutes.
How to switch between brushing modes:
• When pressing the on/off button your toothbrush
automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
• To switch to the other modes, successively press the mode
button.
• To return from any mode to the «Daily Clean» mode, press
and hold the mode button.
• To turn your brush off, press the on/off button.

During brushing, the handle display shows the brushing mode
you have selected, followed by your actual brushing time.
When finished brushing, the total brushing time will be
displayed for 30 seconds before the display switches back to
the battery charge level. To directly get the battery charge
level display, you can clear the brushing time display by
pushing the brushing mode button (c).
Please note: The «Whitening» mode is best used with an
Oral-B ProWhite (i) brush head (not with all models).
Brush heads
The Oral-B FlossAction brush head (a) is recommended for
everyday deep cleaning. It features micropulse bristles that
get deep in hard-to-reach areas between your teeth, gently
removing hidden plaque.
For occasional or everyday whitening, please use the Oral-B
ProWhite (i) brush head (not with all models). It features a
dentist-inspired polishing cup to remove surface stains from
coffee, tea and tobacco for effective brightening. Please note
that children under 12 years old should not use the Oral-B
ProWhite brush head.
Do not use the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B ProWhite
brush head with braces.
All brush heads feature blue Indicator®bristles helping you to
monitor brush head replacement need. With proper brushing,
twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway
approximately within 3 months, signalling that it is time to
change the brush head.
The Tongue Freshener helps freshen breath by removing
odor-causing bacteria from the tongue before or after
brushing. You can use mouthwash with the Tongue Freshener.
Attach it to the handle, turn on the appliance and drag it
across the tongue back to front. We recommend a low speed
setting for enhanced control during use. Rinse after use.
Replace the Tongue Freshener when materials become worn.

Cleaning recommendations
• After brushing, rinse your brush head thoroughly under
running water.
• Remove the brush head from the handle and clean both
parts separately under running water. Then, wipe them dry
before you put the handle on the charging unit.
• Before cleaning your charging unit, make sure you
disassemble it first. The charging ring and the SmartPlug
should never be placed in the dishwasher. However,
all other parts (base plate and protective cover) are
dishwasher-safe.
• From time to time, you can also clean the charging ring and
SmartPlug unit with a damp cloth. The SmartPlug charger
should never be placed in water.
Removing batteries
At the end of the product’s useful life, open the handle as
shown, remove the rechargeable battery and dispose of it
according to local environmental regulations.
Caution! Opening the handle will destroy the appliance
and invalidate the warranty.
