). When brushing your
teeth with one of the Oral-B oscillating-
rotating brush heads guide the brush head
slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on each tooth surface. With any
brush head start brushing the outsides, then
the insides and finally the chewing surfaces.
Brush all four quadrants of your mouth
equally (picture

). You may also consult
your dentist or dental hygienist about the
right technique for you.
In the first days of using any electric tooth-
brush, 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/or gums,
Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive»
mode (optional in combination with an
Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).
