Tips for special 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 an 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.
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.
Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience.
1 Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush
head along the gumline with the longer bristles placed between
your teeth.

2 Position the bristles of the brush head towards the gumline and
close your mouth.

4 Gently move the vibrating brush head in a slightly circular
motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth.After
2 seconds, glide the bristles to the next section and pause
while you gently circulate the bristles again. Continue this
routine throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle to effectively
remove plaque in those hard-to-reach places.
