With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides
and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental
hygienist about the right technique for you.
In the first few days of using any electric toothbrush, 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).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily cleaning
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
«Whitening» – Exceptional polishing for occasional or everyday use
How to switch between modes:
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
To switch to other modes, successively press the on/off button.
Switch off the toothbrush by holding the on/off button until the
motor stops.
Pressure Control
If too much pressure is applied, the pressure control light (b) will
light up in red, notifying you to reduce pressure. In addition the
pulsation of the brush head will stop and the oscillation movement
of the brush head will be reduced (during «Daily Clean», and
«Sensitive» mode) (picture 4).
Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush
all four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 3). A long stuttering
sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute
brushing time. If the toothbrush is turned off during brushing, the
elapsed brushing time will be memorised for 30 seconds. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush heads that fit
your Oral-B toothbrush handle.
