Using your Sonicare

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 towards the gumline.

3 Press the power on/off button to turn on the Sonicare.

4 Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush

do the brushing for you.

5 Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion

so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout

your brushing cycle.

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 top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving

to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and

brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom 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 may also brush your

tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.

Your Sonicare is safe to use on:

- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)

- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)

Note: The toothbrush may be turned off at any time by pressing and holding the power on/off button

for 2 seconds.
