Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE with SmartGuide has

been carefully designed to offer you and your
family a unique brushing experience that is
both safe and effective. When using electrical
products, however, some basic safety
precautions should always be followed.

IMPORTANT

• The Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE is provided with
a SmartPlug (integrated Safety Extra Low
Voltage) power supply. Do not exchange or
manipulate any part of it, as there is a risk
of electric shock. Periodically check the
SmartPlug for damage and if the appliance is
damaged or non-functional, stop use of the
product. Take damaged units to an Oral-B

First use

Before brushing for the first time, charge your
toothbrush. Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical
outlet and place the handle (d) on the charging
ring (f), (see «Connecting and charging»).

• Your SmartGuide display comes with a

demonstration mode activated. To leave this
mode please remove the battery compartment
cover on the back and push the «set» or the
«h/min» button, located in the battery
compartment. Please note that your
SmartGuide display will self-activate this
demonstration mode when you do not use
your toothbrush for 28 days. You can avoid
this self-activation by setting the clock or
synchronizing your handle.

in the handle display (e). The battery symbol
will fill up while the handle is being charged.
Once the handle is fully charged, the battery
symbol will be filled with four bars. A full
charge takes at least 10 hours to complete
and allows for approximately 10 days of
regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).

Please note: If the battery symbol is not
displayed immediately, continue charging.
It will appear in 10–15 minutes.

• Then the hour digit starts flashing. Press the
«h/min» button until the right hour appears
and confirm with the «set» button. Proceed
the same way to set both minute digits. If you
prefer not using this clock feature, the flashing
«12:00» will disappear automatically after 24h.

You can start your toothbrush by pressing the
on/off button (b). To avoid splashing, guide the
brush head to your teeth before switching on
the appliance.

Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is
electrically safe and designed for use in the
bathroom.

• When the rechargeable battery is low, the
battery symbol with one remaining bar starts
flashing. Your toothbrush will slow down
and then stop. When the battery is fully
discharged, the empty frame of the battery
symbol flashes. It will then need a 15-minute
charge before you can use it for a 2-minute
brushing.

• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can
be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at
full power. There is no risk of overcharging the
battery. However for environmental reasons,
Oral-B recommends to unplug the charging
unit until the next recharge is required.

• To maintain the maximum capacity of the
rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit
and fully discharge the handle with regular use
at least every 6 months.

For electric specifications, see printing on the
SmartPlug.

To assemble the charging unit, insert the
protective cover (h) on the back of the base
plate (g). Then, place the base plate on the
charging ring (f) until it clicks into place.

• Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical outlet
and place the toothbrush handle (d) on the

Personalizing the timer

You can choose between the «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer and the «Count Up» or «Count
Down» timer to meet your specific needs.

The «2-Minute Timer» indicates by a long
stuttering sound and a «smiley» on the
SmartGuide display unit that the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been
reached. In addition the «Professional Timer»
helps you brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally. It signals with a short stuttering
sound at 30-second intervals (45-second
intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) and the
«quadrant circle» on the SmartGuide display unit
that it is time to move to the next quadrant of
your mouth.

Both timers memorize the elapsed brushing
time, even when the handle is briefly switched
off during brushing. When pausing longer than
30 seconds, the timer resets to the initial
starting point.

The «Count Up Timer» displays your actual
brushing time. The «Count Down Timer»
indicates the remaining brushing time. Starting
with «2:00» minutes, it goes down to «0:00».
When brushing longer than two minutes, it
automatically changes to the «Count Up Timer».

The total brushing time can be extended to
3 minutes by using the «Deep Clean» mode
(see «Brushing modes»).

Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional
Timer» and the «Count Up Timer» activated. If
you wish to change these settings, proceed as
follows:

• Press and hold the mode button (c) until the
SmartGuide display unit (k) shows «:30» and
«timer».

3 sec.

Please note: It is normal that the handle display
shows two flashing bars when operating in the
timer setting mode.

Brushing

Brushing technique

• Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to

tooth.

• Hold the brush head 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. When you finish
brushing, the total brushing time will be
displayed for 30 seconds before the display
switches back to the time mode. To directly
get to the time mode, clear the brushing time
display by pushing the mode button.

Your toothbrush has a pressure control feature
to help 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,

17

the oscillating movement of the brush head will
continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition
to feeling the change, you can also hear a
different sound.

In the first few days of using your 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 dental hygienist. If you have sensitive
teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the
«Sensitive» mode.

Brushing modes

Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes
for varying oral care needs:

«Daily Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning
for sensitive areas.
«Massage» – Gentle massage of gums.
«Whitening» – Polishing and whitening for
occasional or everyday use.
«Deep Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning
with extended brushing time.
Within this mode the brushing
time has been extended to
45 seconds per quadrant for
a total brushing time of
3 minutes.

• When pressing the on/off button, your tooth­brush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean»
mode.

Brush heads

The Braun Oral-B FlossAction brush head (a) is
recommended for everyday deep cleaning. It
features micropulse bristles that get deep in
hard-to-reach areas between your teeth, gently
removing hidden plaque.

For occasional or everyday polishing, please
use the Braun Oral-B

ProWhite (i) brush head

(not with all models). It features a dentist­inspired polishing cup to remove surface stains
from coffee, tea and tobacco for effective
brightening. Please note that children under
12 years old should not use the Braun Oral-B

ProWhite brush head.

helping you to monitor brush head replacement
need. With proper brushing, twice a day for
two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway
approximately within 3 months, signalling that it
is time to change the brush head.

• To switch to the other modes, successively
press the mode button (c).

• To return from any mode to the «Daily Clean»
mode, press and hold the mode button.

• To turn your brush off, press the on/off button.

Please note: The «Whitening» mode is best used
with a Braun Oral-B ProWhite (i) brush head.

The Tongue Freshener (m) helps freshen breath
by removing odor-causing bacteria from the
tongue before or after brushing. You can use
mouthwash with the Tongue Freshener. Attach it
to the handle, turn on the appliance and drag it
across the tongue 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.

Cleaning recommendations

• After brushing, rinse your brush head
thoroughly under running water.

• Remove the brush head from the handle and
clean both parts separately under running
water. Then, wipe them dry before you put the
handle on the charging unit.

• Before cleaning your charging unit, make sure
you disassemble it first. The charging ring
and SmartPlug should never be placed in the
dishwasher. However, all other parts (base
plate and protective cover) are dishwasher­safe.

Wall mount

If you prefer to mount the SmartGuide display
unit on a wall, mirror or other surface, use
the adhesive tape (l) to fix the wall mount.
Before doing so, make sure the chosen surface
is clean and dry (remove grease and dust first).
Position the wall mount so that the Oral-B logo
is readable. Then, press the wall mount evenly
and firmly to the wall. Wait 24 hours before

• From time to time, you can also clean the
charging ring, SmartPlug and SmartGuide
display unit with a damp cloth. Both the
SmartPlug charger and SmartGuide display
unit should never be placed in water.

Synchronizing

set

h/min

3 sec.

In order to avoid interference of display
messages when using more than one Oral-B
DENTA-PRIDE toothbrush with separate
SmartGuide display units in the same
household, you need to assign the handles to
their respective display units. Please follow the
steps below:

•

Push the «h/min» button in the battery compart­ment for at least 3 seconds. The SmartGuide
display unit shows «L---», indicating the
«Learn» mode for synchronization is activated.

• Now you are requested by a flashing
on/off button in the toothbrush icon on the
SmartGuide display unit to turn the handle on.
When doing so, the automatic synchronization
process starts. It is finished when «L-1-» is
displayed.

• Then turn off the handle.

If you would like to assign a second handle to
the same SmartGuide display unit, repeat the
last two steps described above with the other
handle. You can exit the «Learn» mode by
pressing the «h/min» or «set» button. Otherwise
the «Learn» mode will automatically end after
30 seconds.

Please note:

• A maximum of 2 handles can be synchronized
with one SmartGuide display unit. After you
synchronized the second handle, «Full» will be
displayed.

Deactivating the radio
transmission

If you want to use or carry your toothbrush in
surroundings where radio controlled appliances
are not allowed (e.g. hospitals or aircraft),
deactivate the radio transmission first.

To do so, simultaneously press the on/off and
mode button for 3 seconds. The handle display
shows the radio deactivation icon. If you want
to reactivate the radio transmission, press both
buttons again for 3 seconds and the display
icon disappears.
