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.
Dental restorations
Use the Sonicare on dental restorations (e.g. 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.You may want to take
advantage of the Programmable Quadpacer\ timer feature
(see section 'Programmable Quadpacer timer').
Proper brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximise your brushing experience:
1
Before switching the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the
brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.
2
Hold the handle with a light grip, switch the Sonicare on, and
glide the brush across your teeth.
3
To maximise Sonicare's effectiveness apply only light pressure
and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Do not scrub.
4
The angled brush head and slender neck help you reach the
back teeth and the tooth surfaces on the inside of the mouth.
Be sure to adjust your brushing to use the angle to your
advantage and keep as many bristles in contact with the teeth
as possible.
5
To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections: outside of upper teeth, inside of
upper teeth, outside of lower teeth and inside of lower teeth.
Begin brushing in section 1 (outside of upper teeth) and brush
for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside of upper
teeth). Continue brushing the other two sections for 30
seconds until you have completed the 2-minute brushing cycle.
If activated, the Programmable Quadpacer\ timer will beep
every 30 seconds to signal you to move to the next quadrant.
