effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush
do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

the longer bristles reach between the teeth.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing
cycle.
Note:To make sure you brush evenly throughout the
mouth, divide the mouth into 4 sections using the
Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth)
and brush for 30 seconds before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing
in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush
for 30 seconds before moving to section 4
(inside bottom teeth).
Note: 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 may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush
turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads may wear out more quickly
when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers,
implants)
Note:When the Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the
handle has to be fully charged, set to the high intensity
level and the Easy-start feature must be deactivated.
