Brushing instructions
1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2Place 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 (Fig. 6).
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
3Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare.
4Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare’s effectiveness
and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do
not scrub.
5Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small
back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
6To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing
strokes on each tooth (Fig. 7).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,
divide your mouth into 6 sections using the BrushPacer feature
(see chapter ‘Features’).
7Follow the Sonicare app's brushing guidance combined with the
BrushPacer and begin brushing in section 1 (upper right teeth) and
brush for 20 seconds before you move to section 2 (upper front
teeth). Continue doing this for section 3 till 6 to ensure even
brushing in all 6 segments of the mouth (Fig. 8).
Note: When using the White mode, two additional 20 second
intervals can be used for polishing your front teeth.
8The Philips Sonicare app helps to address any missed spots by
guiding you to spend 20 seconds in the areas you missed during
brushing.
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
