Using your Philips Sonicare
Brushing instructions
1Press the brush head onto the handle in
such a way that the bristles will face the
front of the handle.
2Firmly press the brush head down onto the
metal shaft until it stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap
between the brush head and the handle.
3Wet the bristles.
4Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the
bristles.
5Place the toothbrush bristles against the
teeth at a slight angle (45 degrees), pressing
firmly to make the bristles reach the
gumline or slightly beneath the gumline. A
change in vibration (and a slight change in
sound) alerts you when you apply too much
pressure while brushing.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in
contact with the teeth at all times.

6Press the power on/off button to turn on
the Philips Sonicare.
7Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth
and in the gumline. Brush your teeth with
small back and forth motion so the bristles
reach between the teeth.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do
not scrub.
8To clean the inside surfaces of the front
teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright
and make several vertical overlapping
brushing strokes on each tooth.
