Tips for specific oral care needs
◗Stain removal
In areas where staining occurs, a few seconds of additional brushing time may be spent to assist with stain removal.
C ◗ Braces
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 long 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 move the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed all of your teeth.
◗Dental restoration
Use Sonicare on dental restorations (e.g. implants, caps, crowns, bridges and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to reduce plaque
◗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.You may want to take advantage of the Programmable Quadpacer\ timer feature on the 7800 series model (see Programmable Quadpacer timer section).
