4Apply light pressure to maximise the Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
5Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.
Note:To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer (see chapter ‘Features’).
6Begin brushing in section 1 (outside of upper teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside of upper teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside of lower teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside of lower teeth).
7After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can
spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth
and areas where staining occurs.You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer.
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
