•To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with regular use at least every 6 months.

Please note: If the charge indicator light is not flashing immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.

Brushing modes

Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes to best meet your individual oral care needs.

How to switch between brushing modes:

•When pressing the on/off button (5) your tooth- brush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.

•To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Whitening» mode, successively press the on/off button.

•To turn off your toothbrush from the «Whitening» mode, push the on/off button once more.

•If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from either the «Daily Clean» or «Sensitive»mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the motor stops.

Brushing technique

Attach the brush head (7) to the toothbrush handle. You can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, first guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance. Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds each tooth surface. Brush both the gums and the teeth; first the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Do not press too hard or scrub.

Pressure Sensor

Helping protect your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed (see picture b, page 5). If too much pressure is applied, the red pressure sensor light (6) will light up reminding you to reduce pressure. In addition you will also hear a different sound while brushing. Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush head during use.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth.

A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time (see picture c, page 5).

The elapsed brushing time is memorised, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets to the initial starting point.

In the first days of using the toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode.

Brush heads and accessories (depending on model)

The Oral-B Professional Care offers you a variety of brush heads and accessories, allowing you to select those which best meet your oral care needs.

Replacement brush heads and accessories are available in stores that sell Oral-B products.

Oral-B Precision Clean brush head

The Oral-B Precision Clean brush head cups each tooth with a curved bristle trim and reaches deep between teeth at the same time.

Oral-B Sensitive brush head

The Oral-B Sensitive brush head features an extra soft bristle structure that is gentle on teeth and gums.

Oral-B 3DWHITE brush head

The Oral-B 3DWHITE brush head features a dentist-inspired polishing cup to remove surface stains to naturally whiten teeth.

We do not recommend using the Oral-B 3DWHITE brush head with braces.

All brush heads feature blue INDICATOR® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the light blue color will fade halfway approximately within 3 months, signaling it is time to change the brush head.

Cleaning recommendations

After brushing rinse your brush head or accessory carefully under running water for some seconds with the handle switched on. Switch off the handle and remove the brush head or accessory. Clean both parts separately under running water (see picture d, page 5); then wipe them dry before reassembling the
