A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2 weeks of
typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day), making it easy to
travel without the charger.
Remember that voltage converters and plug adapters DO NOT
guarantee voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.
Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience.
1 Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush head
on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.
2 Hold the handle with a light grip, turn the Sonicare on, and gently
move the bristles in a small circular motion so the longer bristles
reach between your teeth. After a few seconds, glide the bristles to
the next section. Continue this routine throughout your 2-minute
brushing cycle.
3 To maximize the effectiveness of your Sonicare toothbrush, use light
pressure and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Do not scrub.
4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your
mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside bottom and
inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth)
and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top
teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds in each section progressing
through all 4 sections until you’ve brushed for 2 minutes.
5 After the 2-minute brushing cycle is complete, additional time should
be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Press the power button to turn the brush on and off as needed.
To clean your mouth more completely, you may also brush your tongue,
with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Tips for specic oral care needs
Stain removal
In areas where excess staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to
assist with stain removal.
Braces
The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle between your
brackets and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles
in a small circular motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth for 2 seconds. Then gently turn (roll) the brush handle so the
bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth before you glide
the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed
all of your teeth. Please note that brush heads will wear out sooner
when used on braces.
Dental restorations (dental work)
Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns,
bridges and llings) as you would on your natural tooth surfaces to
reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health. Work the bristles
around all the areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.
