Brushing technique

Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience:

1Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush head

45º on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.

2Hold the handle with a light grip, turn the Sonicare on, and gently

move the bristles in a small circular motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth.After a few seconds glide the bristles to the next secion. Continue this routine throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle.

3To maximize Sonicare’s effectiveness apply only light pressure and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

4To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your

1		mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside bottom and
	2	inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth)
		and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top
		teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds in each section progressing
	4	through all 4 sections until you’ve brushed for 2 minutes.
3	5	After having completed the 2-minute brushing cycle, additional time

should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
