2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a
slight angle (45 degrees). Pressing firmly to make the
bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath the
gumline.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the
teeth at all times.
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Philips
Sonicare.
4 Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in the
gumline. Brush your teeth with small back and forth
motion so the bristles reach between the teeth.
Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. It is not
recommended to scrub as you would with a manual
toothbrush.
5 To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the
brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical
overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth.
6 After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can
spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces
of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You
can also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush
switched on or off, as you prefer.
Note: Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on
braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on
braces) and dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
if they are properly adhered and not compromised.
