Using the appliance

Useful tips

Place the brush head in your mouth before turning on your Sonicare and keep your mouth closed during brushing, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.

You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time. As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this sensitivity will diminish.

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.

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 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.

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.
