Welcome to Oral-B!

IMPORTANT
• Periodically check the

cord is damaged, take

fire, electric shock or
injury.

and understand the
hazards involved.

• For everyday use, the handle can be
stored on the plugged-in charging
unit. There is no risk of overcharging.
Battery maintenance
To maintain the maximum capacity of
the rechargeable battery, unplug the
charging unit and discharge the handle
by regular use at least every 6 months.
Using the toothbrush
Wet brush head and apply any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide
the brush head to your teeth before
switching the appliance on (2).
When using one of the rotating brush
heads guide the brush head slowly
from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on each tooth surface (3).
When using the TriZone 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.
Start brushing the outsides, then the
insides, finally the chewing surfaces.
Brush at least 2 minutes to thoroughly
remove plaque. Press the on/off switch
to turn off.
Individual brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of brush
heads which are available in stores
that sell Oral-B products. Below
brush heads are interchangeable and
compatible with your Oral-B handle.
The Oral-B Precision Clean brush head
cups each tooth with a
curved bristle trim and
reaches deep between
teeth at the same time.
The Oral-B FlossAction brush head
effectively cleans your
teeth, clean along the
gumline and in hard-to-
reach areas such as
behind teeth.
The Oral-B ProWhite brush head
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.
Our dynamic TriZone brush head can
be used with all common brushing
techniques.
The Oral-B TriZone brush head
features triple zone
cleaning action for
outstanding plaque
removal, even in between
teeth.
We do not recommend using the
Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B ProWhite
brush head with braces. You may
use the Oral-B Ortho brush head,
specifically designed to clean around
braces and wires.
All brush heads feature light blue
INDICATOR®bristles to help you
monitor brush head replacement need
(3.a). With thorough brushing, twice
a day for two minutes, the blue color
will fade halfway approximately within
3 months (3.b), signaling it is time to
change the brush head. If the bristles
splay before the colour recedes (3.c),
you are exerting too much pressure
on teeth and gums.
During the first days of using the
toothbrush, your gums may bleed
slightly. In general, bleeding should
stop after a few days. Should it persist
after two weeks, please consult your
dentist or dental hygienist.
Cleaning
After use, rinse the brush head for
several seconds under running water
with the handle switched on. Switch
off and remove the brush head. Rinse
both parts separately under running
water and wipe them dry. From time to
time, also clean the charging unit with
a damp cloth (4).
Subject to change without notice.
