Periodontal pockets

Your dental professional may have indicated that you have 

periodontal pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If 

this is the case, after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra time 

gently brushing these areas to improve your gum health.

Features

Easy-start

 

\

 brushing power ramp-up 

All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated (on), 

which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare.

Brushing power will gently increase to full power over the first 

 

12 brushings.

The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately after 

turning on your Sonicare. Once you reach optimal brushing power 

(after the 12th brushing), you will no longer hear the double beep at 

the beginning of your brushing routine.

Note: Note: each of the first 12 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length 

to properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.

To deactivate or activate the Easy-start feature:

 1 

 Attach your brush head to the handle.

  

 Place the handle in a plugged-in charger base.

  

 To deactivate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the power 

button for 5 seconds. You will hear 1 beep to indicate that the Easy-

start feature has been deactivated.

  

 To activate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the power button 

for 5 seconds. You will hear 2 beeps to indicate that the Easy-start 

feature has been activated.

Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is 

not recommended and reduces the effectiveness of your Sonicare 

toothbrush in removing plaque.
The Easy-start feature should be deactivated and the handle fully charged 

when Sonicare is used in clinical trials.

Smartimer

\

 2-minute timer 

All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which 

automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes recommended 

by dental professionals. 

After 2 minutes the Smartimer will automatically turn off the 

toothbrush.

If you wish to pause or stop brushing during your 2-minute cycle, 

press the power button. Press the power button again and the 

Smartimer will pick up where you left off.

The Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a 

 

2-minute cycle if:

brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer;

the handle is returned to the charger base.
