Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use 
any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide 
the brush head to your teeth before switching the 
appliance on (c). Guide the brush head slowly from 
tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth 
surface. Start brushing the outsides, and then the 
insides and finally the chewing surfaces (picture 3, 
page 5). Brush all four quadrants of your mouth 
equally.

In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your 
gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should 
stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, 
please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you 
have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends 
using the «Sensitive» mode. 

Timer

You can choose between «Professional» or 
«2-Minute» timer and «Count up» or «Count down» 
timer.

The «2-Minute» timer signals with four beeps and 
a Smiley on the SmartGuide that the dentist recom-
mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.

In addition the «Professional» timer signals with 
short beep sounds at 30-seconds intervals to move 
to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds 
intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) (picture 3, 
page 5). A single beep indicates completion of the 
first quadrant, two beeps the second one, three 
beeps the third one and four beeps sound when you 
reach the recommended 2-minute brushing time.

The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, 
even when the handle is briefly switched off during 
brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 
30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) 
during pause.

The «Count Up» timer displays your actual brush-
ing time. The «Count down» timer indicates the 
remaining brushing time.

Personalizing the timer
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» and 
«Count up» timer activated. To change this, press 
and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds 
until the SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer». 
Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the 
«2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm. 
The SmartGuide now shows «up» and «timer». Press 
the on/off button to switch to the «Count down» 
timer and confirm with the mode button. Leave the 
setup menu by pressing the mode button.
