Removing plaque
• The toothbrush can be used with any leading brand of
toothpaste.
• To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to your teeth
before switching on.
• Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to tooth. Hold
the brushhead in place for a few seconds before
moving on the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides,
then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Do
not press too hard nor scrub, simply let the brush do
all the work.
During the first few days of using the 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 hygienist.
