Connecting and
charging

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

• Plug the charging unit (e) into an

electrical outlet and place the tooth­brush handle (c) on the charging unit.

• The green charge indicator (d) light

flashes while the handle is being
charged. If you then use your brush
and place it back on the charging
unit, the green charging light will
again flash to let you know it is
charging.

• When the handle is fully charged, the

green charge indicator light shines
continuously. A full charge takes at
least 16 hours and enables
approximately two weeks of regular
brushing

(twice a day, 2 minutes)

.

• The red charge indicator (d) light

starts blinking when the rechargeable
battery is low. Now it is time to
recharge your toothbrush.

• For everyday use, the toothbrush

handle can be stored on the charging
unit to maintain it at full power.
Overcharging is impossible.

• To maintain the maximum capacity of

the rechargeable battery, unplug the
charging unit and fully discharge the
handle by regular use at least every
6 months.

Using your toothbrush

Attach one of the brushheads (1–4) to
the handle. They can be used with any
kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing,
guide the brushhead to your teeth
before switching the appliance on.

Brushing modes

Your toothbrush offers different
brushing modes to best meet your
individual needs:

«Clean» – Exceptional mouth
cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough
cleaning for sensitive
areas.
«Polish» – Exceptional polishing
and natural whitening
for occasional or
everyday use.

How to switch between modes:

• Push the on/off button once, and
your toothbrush automatically starts
in the «Clean» mode.

• To shift from the «Clean» mode to the
«Sensitive» mode, push the on/off
button once more.

• If your toothbrush has a «Polish»
mode, pushing the on/off button
again will bring you from «Sensitive»
to «Polish» mode.

• To turn your brush off from the
«Polish» mode, push the on/off
button once more.

• If you wish to turn your toothbrush off
in the «Clean» or «Sensitive» mode,

button until the motor stops.

Ultimate Plaque Removal

For cleaner teeth and healthier gums,
Oral-B Professional Care gently
cleans in areas where plaque bacteria
can collect. It removes up to 97 % of
plaque from hard-to-reach areas and
is gentle on teeth and gums.

Brushing technique:

• Guide the brushhead slowly from
tooth to tooth.

• Hold the brushhead 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.

Pressure Sensor
For optimal brushing results Oral-B
Professional Care has a pressure

control feature to help you brush gently.
This helps protect your gums from
excessive brushing and makes your
toothbrush easy to operate. If too much
pressure is applied, the oscillating
movement of the brushhead will
continue but the pulsation will stop. In
addition to feeling it, you can also hear
a different sound.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second
intervals, which you can hear and
feel, reminds you to brush the four
quadrants of your mouth equally for
a better overall clean.

2-Minute Timer

A long stuttering sound indicates when
the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time has been
reached.

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

In the first few days of using any
electric toothbrush, your gums may
bleed slightly. This is usually a sign of
pre-existing gum inflammation. Using
your toothbrush properly should reduce
inflammation and as a result bleeding
should stop after a few days. Should it
persist after 2 weeks, please consult
your dentist or hygienist. If you have
sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B
recommends using the «Sensitive»
mode.

Individual brushheads
and accessories

The Oral-B Professional Care offers
you a variety of brushheads and
accessories, allowing you to select
those which best meet your individual
needs. They are all designed for daily
use:

1 Oral-B Precision Clean brushhead

The Oral-B Precision Clean brushhead
features our superior oscillating and
pulsating action to effectively clean
your teeth, clean along the gumline and
in hard-to-reach areas such as behind
teeth. The compact round brushhead
surrounds each tooth for a thorough
clean. The green Precision Clean
bristles bend, enabling both gentle
brushing and deep reach of the blue
Interdental Tips between teeth. Apply
the brushing technique as described in
the section «Ultimate Plaque Removal».

2 Oral-B Sensitive brushhead
(not with all models)
The Oral-B Sensitive brushhead
provides thorough cleaning for
sensitive teeth and gums. It has an
extra soft bristle texture that is gentle
on teeth and gums. Apply the same
brushing technique as described in the
section «Ultimate Plaque Removal».

9

3 Oral-B® Pro White™ brushhead
(not with all models)
The Oral-B Pro White brushhead is
specifically designed to polish and
whiten your teeth by removing stains
that can come from coffee, tea and
tobacco. It features the oscillating and
pulsating head action of the Oral-B
Precision Clean brushhead to
effectively clean teeth, combined with
the special polishing cup for effective
brightening. Apply the same brushing
technique as described in the section
«Ultimate Plaque Removal». We do not
recommend using the Oral-B Pro White
brushhead with braces. Children under
12 should not use the Oral-B Pro White
brushhead.

4 Oral-B

®

Dual Clean™ brushhead

(not with all models)
The Oral-B Dual Clean brushhead
offers two types of cleaning motion in
one. It combines the oscillating and
pulsating motion with an additional
side-to-side motion, for more cleaning
action. The oscillating motion
stimulates gums while removing plaque
and bacteria. Multi-angled bristles
clean between teeth and along the
gumline. With this brushhead you can
either move from tooth to tooth or
apply the same brushing technique as
with any manual toothbrush.

All four brushheads feature blue
INDICATOR® bristles to help you
monitor brushhead replacement need.
With thorough brushing, twice a day for
two minutes, the blue color will fade
halfway within 3 months, signaling it is
time to change the brushhead.

5 Power Tip® (not with all models)

The Power Tip is designed for cleaning
between teeth as well as around
bridges, crowns and implants. To use,
position the brushhead at a 45 degree
angle to the gumline. Slowly guide the
brushhead along the gumline, pausing
between teeth for optimal results.

10

6 Tongue Freshener
(not with all models)
The Tongue Freshener helps freshen
breath. It is designed to help remove
odor-causing bacteria from the tongue
and can be used everyday – before or
after brushing. You can use mouthwash
with the Tongue Freshener. Attach it to
the handle, turn the appliance on and
drag it across the tongue from back to
front. We recommend using the
«Sensitive» mode for enhanced control
during use. Rinse after use. Replace
the Tongue Freshener when the
material becomes worn.

Oral-B Professional Care replacement
brushheads and accessories are
available in stores that sell Oral-B
products, at the Essentials.com web
site and at Oral-B Braun Service
Centers.

Cleaning
recommendations

• After brushing, rinse your brushhead
or accessory thoroughly under
running water for several seconds
with the handle switched on.

• Switch off the handle and remove the
brushhead or accessory from the
handle. Clean both parts separately
under running water, then wipe them
dry before you reassemble the brush
and put the handle on the charging
unit.

• From time to time, also clean the
charging unit and the brushhead
compartment (D 19.565.3 X,
D 19.545.3 X, D 19.535.2 only) with
a damp cloth.

• For cleaning purposes, the brush­head compartment (D 19.565.3 X,
D 19.545.3 X, D 19.535.2 only) is
removable.
