• Spend several seconds on each tooth before moving on.
Use light pressure and let the vibrations of the brush do
the work.
• If you wish to whiten teeth or remove stains, extra time
may be needed in those areas. Spend extra time on the
areas of concern after you have completed a full brushing
cycle of your entire mouth.
• If you have braces, gently turn or roll the brush head all the
way around the brackets and wires in order to reach the
entire tooth. Continue until you have covered your entire
mouth. Fully brushing your mouth with braces may require
more brushing time than a single cycle.
• Dental restorations such as implants, crowns, caps,
bridges, and llings should be brushed as you would
your natural tooth surfaces unless otherwise directed
by your dental professional.
