IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS & SAFEGUARDS BEFORE
USING THE APPLIANCE
The InteliSonic Sterling has been carefully designed to offer you a new and
unique brushing experience that is both safe and effective. However, when
using electrical products, especially when children are present, basic
safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
DANGERS
WATER

sensitive areas.

3. Wet the toothbrush bristles and place a small amount of toothpaste on the brush.
4. Place the bristles against the teeth at a 45-degree angle
towards the gum line to ensure the bristles are in close
contact with the space between teeth and gums.

6. Apply light pressure and gently move the brush head
slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
BRUSHING TIME
1. In order to maximize cleaning effectiveness, divide your
mouth into 4 sections. Start with Section 1 and brush each
section for 30 seconds. The brushing action will pause
between each 30 second interval, indicating when to move
on to the next section. The toothbrush will automatically
stop after 2 minutes of use.
Note: If you change the cleaning mode during the brushing cycle, the 2
minute brushing timer will reset and start over.
2. After completing the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your
teeth and areas where staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue,
with the toothbrush turned on or off, as per your personal preference or
dentist recommendation.
Note: The InteliSonic is also safe to use on:
• Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
• Braces (brush heads will wear out sooner)
ADDITIONAL ORAL CARE NEEDS

where plaque collects below the gumline. Ask your dental professional for help
with identifying these areas.

replaced and does not need to be removed before disposal.
