4. Operating Instructions
For optimal oral hygiene, dentists recommend brushing for two minutes, twice a day. Many Oral-B electric toothbrushes feature a built-in timer to assist with this recommendation.
4.1. Brushing Technique
- Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the brush head.
- Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gum line.
- Move the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, allowing the oscillating-rotating action to clean each tooth surface.
- Divide your mouth into four quadrants (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left) and spend approximately 30 seconds on each quadrant.

5. Maintenance
5.1. Brush Head Replacement
Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles become splayed or frayed. The blue indicator bristles on your Oral-B brush head will fade halfway to white, signaling the optimal time for replacement.
5.2. Cleaning
- After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the handle switched on to remove any remaining toothpaste and debris.
- Turn off the handle and remove the brush head. Rinse both parts separately under running water.
- Wipe the handle dry with a soft cloth.
- Store the brush head upright to allow it to air dry.
