Tips for specific oral care needs

,Stain removal

In areas where staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to assist with

	stain removal.
		Braces
45º	The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle between your brackets
	,
	and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small circular

motion so that 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. Please note that brush heads will wear out sooner when used on braces.

,Dental restorations (dental work)

Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns, bridges

and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to reduce plaque

build-up and improve gum health.Work the bristles around all areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.

,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.
