Tips for specic oral care needs
Stain removal
For even better stain removal, dedicate a few seconds of extra brushing
time to areas where excess staining occurs.
Braces
Place the brush head at a 45-degree angle between the brackets and the
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 roll the brush handle so the bristles clean the bracket and
the rest of the tooth. Subsequently, pass the bristles to the next tooth.
Continue this procedure until you have brushed all your teeth. Please note
that brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces.
Dental restorations
Use the Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns,
bridges and llings) as you do on your normal tooth surfaces. Work the
bristles round all areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.
Periodontal pockets
Your dentist or dental hygienist may have indicated that you have
periodontal pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is
the case, spend extra time brushing these areas after you have completed
the 2-minute brushing cycle to improve your gum health.
