Each S2 Sensitive brush head features long, thin, ultra-soft bristles, specifically engineered for a gentle touch. With over 3,000 densely packed bristles, these heads are capable of removing significantly more plaque than a manual toothbrush, even in areas that are typically difficult to reach.

Installation and Replacement
Philips Sonicare S2 Sensitive brush heads are designed for easy attachment and removal. They are compatible with all Philips Sonicare click-on electric toothbrush handles, excluding Philips One and e-series handles.
Attaching a New 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 to prevent detachment during use.
Detaching a Brush Head:
- Grip the brush head firmly and pull it straight up and off the handle.
- Always handle the brush head and handle with care during attachment and detachment to avoid injury.

Operating and Usage
The S2 Sensitive brush heads utilize proven Sonicare technology to deliver a thorough and gentle clean. The sonic vibrations generate up to 62,000 bristle movements per minute, creating a dynamic fluid action that extends deep between teeth and along the gumline.
Brushing Technique:
- Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
- Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline.
- Turn on the toothbrush. Gently move the brush head slowly across each tooth surface, allowing the sonic action to do the work. Avoid scrubbing.
- Brush all four quadrants of your mouth evenly.

Maintenance and Replacement Schedule
For optimal oral hygiene and performance, dental professionals recommend replacing your toothbrush head every 3 months. Over time, bristles can fray and become less effective at removing plaque.
BrushSync Replacement Reminder:
Many Philips Sonicare toothbrushes feature BrushSync technology. This system tracks how often and how hard you brush. When it's time to replace your brush head, a light on the toothbrush handle will illuminate. Additionally, the blue indicator bristles on the S2 Sensitive brush head will fade and turn white, providing a visual cue for replacement.
