degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or

times.

4Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare’s effectiveness
and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.

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. 6).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,
divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature.

seconds before you move to section 2 (inside upper teeth).

30 seconds before you move to section 4 (inside lower teeth) (Fig.
7).
8After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs (Fig. 15). You can also brush your
tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers).

should be fully changed and the Easy-start feature deactivated

- High mode: Full-strength mode designed for older/independent
brushers.

introducing younger children to the sonic experience.
Features
KidTimer
- The KidTimer plays a congratulatory sound sequence at the end of
the pre-determined brushing time. Additionally, the KidTimer
automatically turns off the handle when the brushing cycle is
complete.
- When in high mode, the KidTimer is set at 2 minutes.
- When in low mode the KidTimer is set at 1 minute and slowly
increases over time. The progression of time helps young children
reach the dentist recommended 2 minutes of brushing.
Note: Instruct your child to brush until they hear the congratulatory
tune and the toothbrush turns off.
KidPacer
The Sonicare For Kids uses a short series of tunes to alert the brusher
to move to the next brushing quadrant of the mouth and concludes
the brushing cycle with a congratulatory tune before it automatically
turns off. This ensures that the child’s teeth get a thorough, overall
clean (see “Brushing instructions”).
Note: Instruct your child to brush until they hear the congratulatory
tune and the toothbrush turns off.
Easy-start
The Easy-start feature gently increases the power over the first 14
brushings to help you get used to the brushing with the Philips
Sonicare. The Sonicare For Kids comes with the Easy-start feature
activated.
Note: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length
to properly advance through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.
