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,
page 5). 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 (picture 3, page 5).
When using the Oral-B «Deep Sweep» 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 (picture 4, page 5).
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.
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
(optional in combination with the Oral-B Sensitive
Gum Care brush head).
Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with a short stuttering
sound and a green light (b) that the dentist recom-
mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
The «Professional» timer signals with a short
stuttering sound and a green light at 30-seconds
intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth
(45 seconds intervals within «Deep Clean» mode)
(picture 5, page 5). A long stuttering sound and a
green light indicate the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time (3-minute
brushing time within «Deep Clean» mode.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time,
even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than
30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d)
during pause.
Personalizing the timer
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional»
timer activated. To change this, press and hold
the brushing mode button for 3 seconds until the
SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer».
Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the
«2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm.
Pressure sensor
If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the
red pressure sensor light (b) will light up (picture 5,
page 5). Additionally, when brushing in «Daily Clean»
or «Deep Clean» mode, the brushing mode will
change to the «Sensitive» mode. Periodically check
the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
Note: In «Tongue Cleaning» mode the pressure
sensor is turned off.
