Key Features:
- Removes up to 100 percent more plaque vs a regular manual toothbrush.
- Features 2D cleaning electric toothbrush head that oscillates and rotates to break up and remove 100 percent more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush.
- Includes a 2-minute timer that signals when to stop brushing teeth, promoting dentist-recommended brushing time.
- One full charge of the electric toothbrush provides power for up to 5 days of regular brushing (twice a day for 2 minutes).
- Oral-B is recognized as the No. 1 dentist-recommended toothbrush brand worldwide.
Setup
1. Charging the Toothbrush:
Before first use, fully charge your Oral-B Pro 500 toothbrush. Plug the charging base into a standard electrical outlet. Place the toothbrush handle onto the charging base. A full charge typically takes 22 hours and provides up to 5 days of regular brushing (twice a day for 2 minutes).
2. Attaching the Brush Head:
Align the brush head with the metal shaft on the toothbrush handle. Push the brush head down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely attached before use.
Operating Instructions
1. Brushing Your Teeth:
- Wet the brush head and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
- Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle, aiming the bristles towards the gumline.
- Press the power button to turn on the toothbrush.
- Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, allowing the oscillating and rotating action to clean each surface. Do not scrub aggressively.
- The built-in 2-minute timer will signal with a short stutter every 30 seconds to indicate when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth, and a longer stutter at 2 minutes to signal the end of the recommended brushing time.
- After brushing, press the power button again to turn off the toothbrush.
2. Compatible Brush Heads:
The Oral-B Pro 500 is compatible with various Oral-B replacement brush heads, including Cross Action, 3D White, Sensitive Clean, Precision Clean, Floss Action, TriZone, Deep Sweep, ProWhite, Ortho, PowerTip, and Dual Clean. Choose the brush head that best suits your oral care needs.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Toothbrush:
- After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the handle switched on.
- Turn off the handle and remove the brush head.
- Rinse both the brush head and the handle separately under running water.
- Wipe the handle dry with a cloth.
- Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow it to air dry.
2. Replacing the Brush Head:
Dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles become splayed or frayed. To replace, simply pull the old brush head off the handle and push a new one on until it clicks into place.
Troubleshooting
- Toothbrush not turning on: Ensure the toothbrush is fully charged. Place it on the charger for at least 22 hours for a full charge.
- Reduced brushing power: This typically indicates a low battery. Place the toothbrush on the charger.
- Brush head not oscillating/rotating properly: Ensure the brush head is securely attached to the handle. If the issue persists, try a new brush head.
- Charging indicator not working: Verify the charging base is properly plugged into a working outlet.
