Clean and healthy teeth ... with Philips!

Important information for parents

Proper oral hygiene starts with taking good care of the milk teeth, since

these are crucial for the further development of the jaws and the correct

position of the permanent teeth.

Oral hygiene with children focuses mainly on the removal of dental plaque.

For this reason, it is important for children to learn how to brush their teeth

at an early age.

What is dental plaque?

Dental plaque is a soft sticky film which continually develops on teeth. It

has almost the same colour as teeth and consists mainly of bacteria which

occur normally in the mouth.

As long as plaque is still soft, it can easily be removed.

If not removed regularly, plaque will start to calcify. This hard, calcified

plaque is called “tartar”.

New soft plaque will readily adhere to the rough surface of tartar. As tartar

is usually bound to the tooth, it must be removed by a dentist or dental

hygienist.

Fig. 1 shows a section of a tooth. The root of the tooth is joined to the

jawbone by strong tissue, called periodontium.

The jawbone is covered by gums or gingiva.

Gums, jawbone and periodontium together form the supporting tissue.

What are the effects of plaque?

The bacteria in the plaque produce an acid which can dissolve the enamel

of the teeth and the dentine beneath it. This will cause dental decay

(caries).

The bacteria also form substances which may cause inflammation of the

gums (gingivitis) or decay of the supporting tissue (periodontitis).

This process is illustrated in fig. 2: the shallow groove around the tooth

has become a deep pocket filled with plaque and tartar.

If the inflammation of the gums is allowed to continue for too long, it may

lead to destruction of the periodontium and gradual loss of the jawbone.

Inflamed gums are generally red and swollen and often bleed when the

teeth are brushed.

Eventually, this may result in the tooth coming loose or falling out (fig. 3).

Thorough and regular removal of plaque will prevent gingivitis from

starting and will help stop the spread of periodontitis.

Philips rechargeable toothbrush HP 375

Clean & Clear brush movement (fig. 4a)

The brush moves in two directions and at two speeds simultaneously:

• Quick short stroke (4200 rpm) longitudinal scrubbing to dislodge the

plaque material;

• Slow long stroke (120 rpm) rolling movement to move the dislodged

plaque away.

New “Soft Pressure Control” (fig. 4b)

Too much pressure may damage both gums and teeth, causes

unneccesary wear of the brush and also reduces the effectiveness of the

brushing operation.

The “Soft Pressure Control” system helps to control the pressure when

brushing the teeth.

When pushed too hard against the teeth or gums, the brush will

automatically warn by a sudden change in the position of its neck.

“Contour” brush profile (fig. 4c)

The ergonomic “Contour” bristle profile guarantees optimum cleaning.

The soft white bristles brush the gumline and reach deeply between the

teeth. The blue bristles especially clean the (chewing) surfaces.

Bathroom use

• Mount to a wall or place the charge unit where it cannot

accidentally fall into water.

• As the toothbrush itself is waterproof it may be used while

having a shower or bath.

Wall mounting (fig. 6-7)

Important

•First charging: at least 12 hours.

•The mains cord of this appliance cannot be replaced.

If the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded.

•For optimum brushing efficiency and for hygiene: replace the

click-on brushes as soon as the hairs begin to stand out or at

least every three months.

•It is advisable to use the electric toothbrush twice a day for at

least two minutes.

•The built-in rechargeable battery contains substances which

may pollute the environment.

When eventually discarding the appliance please remove the

built-in rechargeable battery (fig. 19-25) and dispose of it at an

officially assigned refuse site or otherwise according to

national regulations.

Please refer to section “Protecting the environment”.

How to charge (fig. 8-9)

• Ensure that the appliance is switched off when (re)charging.

•Before first use charge for at least 12 hours.

• In normal use, the toothbrush is recharged after each use by just placing

it back into the connected charge unit.

How to use (fig. 10-15)

• Let the toothbrush do the work: just guide the bristles carefully along the

teeth. Ensure that the brush touches the entire tooth surface as well as a

small section of the gums.

• If the head clicks into a straight position during brushing, this means that

too much pressure has been applied (fig. 14).

Minimum brushing time: 2 minutes (fig. 15)

Two minutes is regarded to be the minimum time required for effective

plaque removal and gum massage.

For even better results you may decide to brush longer.

Remember that fluoride in toothpaste also needs some time to act.

After brushing the teeth (fig. 16-18)

Cleaning

- The toothbrush may be cleaned in lukewarm (soapy) water.

- The charge unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Unplug before

cleaning!

Replacement click-on brushes

Colour-coded click-on brushes are available from your dealer under type

n°. HP 5927 (especially for children).

Protecting the environment

To remove the built-in rechargeable battery when eventually discarding

the appliance: see fig. 19-25.

• Please note: You can also take the appliance to a Philips Service

Centre. The staff will be happy to help you.

• Before removing the battery should be completely empty of charge. Let

the appliance run until the motor stops.

• Please note: Unscrew the base plate only for battery removal.

The toothbrush may not be watertight anymore after the base plate has

been unscrewed.

For that reason the guarantee is void after opening the toothbrush.

For U.K. only:

Fitting a different plug

This appliance is fitted with a BS 1363 13 Amp. plug.

Should you need to replace the plug, connect the wires as follows:

Brown wire to the Live (L) terminal of the new plug.

Blue wire to the Neutral (N) terminal of the new plug.

Always fit the same value of fuse as that originally supplied with your

appliance.

Use only BS 1362 approved fuses.

As a guide only: Appliances under 700 W can have a 3 Amp. fuse (red)

and all others should have a 13 Amp. fuse (brown).

When disposing of an old plug (particularly the moulded type which has

been cut from the mains cord) always remove the fuse as the plug could

be dangerous if ever inserted in a live socket.

Propreté et santé des dents ... avec Philips!

Information important destinée aux parents

Une bonne hygiène dentaire commence dès la tendre enfance.

En apportant une attention toute particulière aux dents de lait, celà permet

un développement correcte de la gencive et une implantation convenable

des dents définitives.

Il est donc essentiel d’apprendre aux enfants comment retirer la plaque

dentaire, par un brossage régulier, dès le plus jeune âge.

Qu’est-ce que la plaque dentaire?

La plaque dentaire est une couche mince et gluante qui se forme

continuellement sur les dents. Elle a souvent la même couleur que les

dents et les molaires et se compose principalement de bactéries qui sont

normalement présentes dans la bouche.

Il est possible de déceler la plaque à l’aide de tablettes colorantes

spéciales appelées révélateurs de plaque dentaire.

La plaque s’enlève facilement lorsqu’elle est molle. Si elle n’est pas

enlevée régulièrement ou correctement, la plaque dentaire se calcifie.

Cette plaque durcie est appelée “tartre”.

Une nouvelle plaque peut alors aisément adhérer à la surface rugueuse

du tartre ainsi formé.

Comme le tartre est fortement collé aux dents, il ne reste plus que

l’intervention du dentiste pour l’enlever.

La figure 1 montre la coupe d’une dent. La racine de la dent est attachée

à la mâchoire par des tissus forts, appelés aussi périodonte.

La mâchoire est recouverte par la gencive.

Entre la dent et la gencive se trouve un petit sillon étroit.

Gencives, mâchoire et périodonte forment les tissus supports de la dent et

servent à la maintenir fermement en place.

Quels sont les effets de la plaque dentaire?

Les bactéries de la plaque produisent un acide qui peut dissoudre l’émail

de la dent et ensuite la dentine se trouvant en dessous de l’émail. C’est

ainsi que se forme une cavité, appelée carie.

A part l’acide, les bactéries forment d’autres substances nuisibles qui

peuvent provoquer l’inflammation de la gencive (gingivite), ou altérer les

tissus qui maintiennent les dents (périodontite).

La figure 2 montre ce processus: le petit sillon entre dent et gencive est

devenu une “poche” profonde, remplie de plaque et de tartre.

Si l’inflammation des gencives dure trop longtemps, elle peut conduire à la

destruction du périodonte et dégrader progressivement la mâchoire. En

général, des gencives enflammées sont rouges et gonflées, et saignent

souvent lorsque vous vous brossez les dents. La poche devenant plus

profonde, la plaque et le tartre commencent à s’y développer. Finalement,

cela mène au déchaussement, voire à la perte d’une ou de plusieurs

dents (fig. 3).

En enlevant minutieusement la plaque dentaire, vous pourrez prévenir la

gingivite et stopper le développement de périodontite.

Brosse à dents rechargeable HP 375

Mouvement des brosses "Double Action" (fig. 4a)

Les poils de la brosse ont un mouvement dans deux sens et à deux

vitesses différentes :

• Des petits mouvements rapides de frottement (4200/min) dans le sens

de la longueur pour détacher la plaque de la surface des dents, des

alvéoles et des espaces interdentaires ;

• De longs et lents mouvements de roulement (120/min) autour de l'axe

longitudinal pour évacuer la plaque détachée.

Le contrôle de la pression par une "Pression controlée" (fig. 4b)

Une trop forte pression peut endommager les dents et la gencive,

occasionner une dégradation prématurée de la brosse et réduire

l'efficacité du brossage.

Le système "Pression controlée" permet de contrôler la pression et

d'éviter ce genre de problèmes.

Si la brosse est appliquée trop fortement sur les dents ou les gencives,

celle-ci vous avertira en changeant brusquement la position de son cou

articulé.

Brossette "Contour" (fig. 4c)

Les brossettes "Contour" ont une forme spécialement étudiée pour vous

garantir une efficacité de nettoyage optimale.

Les touffes blanches brossent les gencives et pénètrent entre les dents.

Les touffes bleues brossent l'émail de la dent en surface.
