How to use your Sonicare power toothbrush
Get the most out of your Sonicare toothbrush by following these easy steps
Step 1
Start by applying a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
Step 2
Hold the toothbrush with a light fingertip grip. This will help eliminate the impulse to scrub or apply too much pressure.
Step 3
Think of your mouth as being divided into segments. Your toothbrush will vibrate when it’s time to move to the next segment.
Step 4
Gently glide the brush along the gumline at a 45-degree angle.
Step 5
When brushing behind the teeth, tilt the handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushstrokes on each tooth.
Step 6
Continue brushing all chewing surfaces, maintaining a gliding movement.
Step 7
Remove the brush head from the handle and rinse it thoroughly with warm water, then rinse the entire handle – especially the brush head connection. Gently clean around the rubber seal and allow everything to dry.
Step 8
Don’t forget to floss!
Step 9
Replace your brush head every 3 months as recommended by the NHS.
