Connecting and charging ging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe
and can be used in the bathroom without hesitation.
• Plug the charger base (e) into an electrical outlet and place
the toothbrush handle (c) on the charger base.
• The blue charge indicator (d) flashes while the handle is
being charged. If you then use your brush and place it back
on the charger, the charging light will again flash to let you
know it is charging.
• When the handle is fully charged, the charge indicator
shines continuously. A full charge takes at least 16 hours
and enables up to two weeks of regular brushing.
• When the rechargeable battery is running low, your
toothbrush will slow down, then stop.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on
the charger base to maintain it at full power. Overcharging
is impossible.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable
battery, unplug the charger base and fully discharge the
handle by regular use at least every 6 months.
Specifications
Refer to the bottom of the charger base for voltage
specifications.

Using your toothbrush ush
Attach one of the brushheads (1 or 2) to the handle. They can
be used with any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing,
guide the brushhead to your teeth before switching the
appliance on.
Customized Speed Control
Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series offers a variable range
of speeds to best meet your individual needs. High speed is
ideal for tooth and gumline cleaning. For cleaning sensitive
teeth and gum tissue as well as precision use of the
accessories (3 and 4), we recommend using a lower speed.
• Press the on/off button once to operate at maximum speed.
• Continue to hold the on/off button to shift from the highest
speed to the Customized Speed Control mode.
• As long as you keep the on/off button pressed, the handle
will continuously run through all speed levels.
• Release the on/off button to brush with your preferred speed
level.
• Push the on/off button once more to turn the toothbrush off.
• If you then turn it on again you will automatically come back
to the maximum speed level.
Ultimate Plaque Removal
For cleaner teeth and healthier, firmer gums, Oral-B
ProfessionalCare 8500 series gently cleans in areas where
plaque bacteria can collect. It removes up to 97% of plaque
from hard-to-reach areas, prevents build-up of tartar and is
gentle on teeth and gums.
Brushing technique:
• Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to 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, 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.
Pressure Sensor
For optimal brushing results Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500
series has a pressure control feature to 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 brushhead will continue but the pulsation
will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also hear the
difference.

Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals, which you
can hear and feel, reminds you to brush the four quadrants of
your mouth equally for a better overall clean.
2-Minute Timer
A long stuttering sound indicates when the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
During the first few days of using the 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 hygienist.

Individual brushheads and ushheads and
accessories
accessories
The Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series offers you a
variety of brushheads and accessories, allowing you to select
those which best meet your individual needs. They are all
designed for daily use:
1 FlexiSoft®brushhead
The FlexiSoft®brushhead features our outstanding
oscillating-pulsating action to effectively clean your teeth,
clean along the gumline and in hard-to-reach areas such
as behind teeth. The compact round brushhead surrounds
each tooth for a thorough clean. The green FlexiSoft®
bristles bend, enabling both gentle brushing and deeper
reach of the blue Interdental Tips between teeth.
2 ProBright™ brushhead
The ProBright brushhead is specifically designed to polish
and naturally whiten your teeth by removing coffee, tea
and tobacco stains. It features our outstanding oscillating-
pulsating head action of the FlexiSoft®brushhead to
effectively clean teeth, combined with the special polishing
cup for natural brightening.
Although you can use any kind of toothpaste, a whitening
paste is likely to result in optimal performance. We do not
recommend using the ProBright brushhead with braces.
Apply the same brushing technique as described in the
section «Ultimate Plaque Removal» for both brushheads.
Both brushheads feature blue INDICATOR®bristles to help
you monitor brushhead replacement. With thorough
brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will
fade halfway within 3 months, signaling it is time to change
the brushhead.

3 Tongue Freshener
The Tongue Freshener freshens breath by removing odor-
causing bacteria from the tongue. It can be used everyday -
before or after brushing. You can also use mouth-wash with
the Tongue Freshener.
Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance on and drag it
across the tongue from 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.
4 Interdental Cleaner
The Interdental Cleaner effectively cleans between the teeth
and helps improve your gum health. It should be used
before brushing.
Break one pick cleaner off the base (5) and insert it into the
slot in the neck of the white pick holder. Attach the
Interdental Cleaner to the handle and turn the appliance on.
Depending on which part of your mouth you are cleaning,
the pick holder should be adjusted by turning it, so that the
blunt side always faces your gums. Guide the cleaner
between your teeth and clean systematically from space to
space.
We recommend a low speed setting for enhanced control
during use. A pick cleaner can be used approximately two
to three times until it becomes too soft to effectively fit and
clean between the teeth. Replacement cleaners are
available separately.
Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series replacement
brushheads and accessories are available in stores that sell
Oral-B products.

I have sensitive teeth and gums. What is the
best way to brush with my Oral-B
ProfessionalCare 8500 series?
Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series is as safe
as a soft manual toothbrush at all speed levels.
However, it gives you the flexibility to choose
your desired speed level, best meeting your
individual needs.
Can children use Oral-B
ProfessionalCare 8500 series?
Given the product's enhanced plaque removal
capabilities and equal safety to soft manual
toothbrushes, Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500
series toothbrushes can be used by children.
Children under age three should use the product
under parental supervision, to ensure that all
teeth and other areas of the mouth are properly
cleaned. Children under 12 should not use the
Interdental Cleaner or the ProBright brushhead.
I wear braces. What is the recommended way
to brush?
Gently place the brush at an angle between the
brackets and gums. Using a slower speed level
will help maximize the precision. The Tongue
Freshener and Interdental Cleaner can be used
with braces, but use of the ProBright brushhead
is not recommended. For everyday cleaning,
Oral-B's Ortho brushhead is specifically designed
to clean around braces and wires and can be
used with the Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500
series.
I have bridges, crowns and fillings in my
mouth. What is the best way to brush with my
Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series?
Like all Oral-B power toothbrushes, Oral-B
ProfessionalCare 8500 series can be used by
consumers with bridges, implants and crowns.
We recommend using a slower mode for even
better control.
I have recently had oral surgery. Can I use
Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series?
You should always follow the instructions given
by your oral surgeon or periodontist after an
operation. Typically in the first few days following
surgery, teeth and gums may be too sensitive for
any toothbrush use. As quickly as your teeth and
gums heal to permit brushing, you can proceed
with using Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500
series. Its slow mode of brushing speed may
be beneficial. The outstanding plaque removal
capability will be particularly valuable, as a clean
mouth will aid the healing process.
What happens if I use the Oral-B
ProfessionalCare 8500 series Interdental
Cleaner and Tongue Freshener at a high speed
instead of the recommended low speed?
The Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series
accessories can be operated at high or low
speeds. However, we recommend the lower
speed for optimal control.
If I have comments/questions about my
Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 series, what
should I do?
