Brushing technique
Slide the brush head on the handle. Wet brush
head and apply toothpaste; you can use any kind
of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush
head to your teeth before switching on your tooth-
brush.
Place the brush head on the outside surface of
your upper teeth. The toothbrush bristles should
be placed against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline.
Turn your toothbrush on and start brushing in
a slightly circular motion. Apply light pressure
during brushing. After a few seconds, guide the
bristles to the next section. Brush inside, outside
and chewing surfaces of your teeth with the
same motion throughout the mouth for the recom-
mended 2 minutes (see picture
3, page 3).
To avoid splashing, turn your toothbrush off
before removing from the mouth by pressing the
on/off button.
You may experience a slight tickling or tingling
sensation when you first use your Oral-B Pulsonic.
This will subside as your teeth and gums will
become accustomed to your Oral-B Pulsonic
cleaning experience. If you experience this initial
tingling, you may want to brush in the «Sensitive»
mode first.
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 your dental hygienist.
Brush heads
Oral-B Pulsonic brush head
The Oral-B Pulsonic brush head (a) is recommended
for everyday deep cleaning. Its bristles provide a
thorough cleaning between your teeth, tooth sur-
faces and along the gumline. The blue INDICATOR
bristles help you to monitor brush head replacement
need. With proper brushing, twice a day for two
minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approxi-
mately within 3 months, signalling it is time to
replace your brush head.
Professional Timer
The «Professional Timer» helps you brushing all four
quadrants of your mouth equally. It signals with
short beep sounds at 30-second intervals that it is
time to move to the next quadrant of your mouth.
A single beep indicates completion of the first
quadrant, two beeps indicate the second quadrant,
three beeps indicate the third quadrant and four
beeps sound when you reach the recommended
2-minute mark (see picture 4, page 3).
Your «Professional Timer» memorizes 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.
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.
Wipe them dry before you put the handle on the
charging unit.
From time to time you can also clean the charging
unit with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning you
may remove the charger cover (h) by pushing the
release button on top of the charging unit. The
charger cover is dishwasher-safe.
The charger unit should never be placed in water
(see picture
