Philips Sonicare 5 Series Manual page 9

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 (Fig. 7).
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
3 Press the power on/off and mode button to turn on the Philips
Sonicare.
4 Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare's effectiveness
and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Do not scrub.
5 Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small
back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
6 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 (Fig. 8).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,
divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature
(see chapter 'Features').
7 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper teeth) and brush for 30
seconds before you move to section 2 (inside upper teeth).
Continue brushing in section 3 (outside lower teeth) and brush for
30 seconds before you move to section 4 (inside lower teeth (Fig.
9)).
8 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 turned on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 10).
Your Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers).
Note: Ensure that braces or dental restorations are properly adhered
and not compromised. If not, braces or dental restorations may be
damaged when they come into contact with the brush head.
