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,
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 effective cleaning
for sensitive areas.
«Massage» Gentle massage of gums.
«Whitening» Polishing and whitening for
occasional or everyday use.
«Deep Clean» Exceptional mouth cleaning

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 tooth-
brush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean»
mode.
