Problem

Solution

The Sonicare toothbrush 

does not work

Recharge your Sonicare overnight, ensuring that it is not 

plugged into an electrical outlet controlled by a light switch. 

Make sure the brush head is attached correctly.

I feel a tickling sensation 

when I use Sonicare.

You may experience a slight tickling/tingling sensation 

when using Sonicare for the first time. As you become 

accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this sensitivity will 

diminish.

The brush head rattles 

when I use Sonicare

Sonicare should produce a gentle hum during operation. 

Tightening the brush head nut can eliminate excessive 

rattling. If rattling does not stop, you may need to replace 

the brush head. Make sure that the travel cap has been 

removed.
