Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching the appliance on (c). Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. Start brushing the outsides, and then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces (picture 3, page 5). Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally.

In the first days of using any electric 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.

Timer

You can choose between «Professional» or «2-Minute» timer and «Count up» or «Count down» timer.

The «2-Minute» timer signals with four beeps and a Smiley on the SmartGuide that the dentist recom- mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.

In addition the «Professional» timer signals with short beep sounds at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) (picture 3, page 5). A single beep indicates completion of the first quadrant, two beeps the second one, three beeps the third one and four beeps sound when you reach the recommended 2-minute brushing time.

The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) during pause.

The «Count Up» timer displays your actual brush- ing time. The «Count down» timer indicates the remaining brushing time.

Personalizing the timer

Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» and «Count up» timer activated. To change this, press and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds until the SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer». Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the «2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm. The SmartGuide now shows «up» and «timer». Press the on/off button to switch to the «Count down» timer and confirm with the mode button. Leave the setup menu by pressing the mode button.
