Using your Philips Sonicare toothbrush

Brushing instructions

1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of

toothpaste.

2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth

at a slight angle (45 degrees), pressing rmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath the gumline.

Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact

with the teeth at all times.

3 Press the power on/o and mode button to

turn on the Philips Sonicare.

4 Gently 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. Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.

Note: The bristles should slightly are. Do not scrub.

5 To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth,

tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth.

Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper

teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before you move to section 2 (inside upper teeth).

Continue brushing in section 3 (outside lower teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before you move to section 4 (inside lower teeth).

7 After you have completed the brushing cycle,

you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You can also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or o, as you prefer.

Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:

- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when

used on braces)

- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)

Note: Ensure that braces or dental restorations are

properly adhered and not compromised. If not, braces or dental restorations may be damaged when they come into contact with the brush head.

Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical studies, the handle should be fully charged and the Easy-start feature deactivated.
