the charging unit and fully discharge
the handle with regular use at least
every 6 months.
Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide
the brush head to your teeth before
switching on the appliance (picture 2).
When brushing your teeth with one of
the Oral-B oscillating-rotating brush
heads guide the brush head slowly
from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on each tooth surface.
When using the Oral-B «TriZone» brush
head place the toothbrush bristles
against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline. Apply light
pressure and start brushing in back and
forth motions, just like you would do
with a manual toothbrush.
With any brush head start brushing the
outsides, then the insides and finally
the chewing surfaces. Brush all four
quadrants of your mouth equally.
You may also consult your dentist or
dental hygienist about the right
technique for you (picture 3).
In the first days of using any electric
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 (depending on model).
Brushing modes (depending on
model)
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for
daily mouth cleaning
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough
cleaning for sensitive
areas
How to switch between modes:
Your toothbrush automatically starts in
the «Daily Clean» mode. To switch to
