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 specific oral care needs
Stain removal
◗ In areas where excess staining occurs, spend extra brushing time
to assist with stain removal.
Braces
C
◗ 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 fillings) 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.
Periodontal pockets
◗ Your dental professional may have indicated that you have
periodontal pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect.
If this is the case, after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra
time gently brushing these areas to improve your gum health.
