8.5 This is how your child brushes
properly
NOTE:
• The toothbrush is also suitable for cleaning orthodontic brac-
es. In this case, however, the bristles wear out more quickly.
• The recommended brushing time is 2 minutes. When this
time has been reached, the toothbrush switches itself off.
• The brushing time is divided into 4 identical periods. (For a
brushing time of 2 minutes, this is 30 seconds each per
mouth section: bottom right, bottom left, top right, top left.)
• The toothbrush indicates these intervals by beeping and
short interruptions of the vibration. After each interruption,
another section of the mouth is brushed. After 2 minutes the
toothbrush switches itself off. (After a shorter time in slow
start mode.)
• It is recommended that children under the age of 8 should be
supervised for the first 1 to 2 weeks while brushing their
teeth with the electric toothbrush.
How to explain it to your child
-
Explain to your child the 4 areas in the mouth (bottom right,
bottom left, top right, top left).
-
Tell your child that each time the toothbrush beeps and the vi-
bration is briefly interrupted, they should brush another area
of the mouth.
-
Tell your child that they should brush until the toothbrush
switches itself off.
