2 If you press the brush too hard against your
gums, you will feel and hear a click when the
brush head flexes backwards.As soon as you
reduce the pressure, the brush will return to
its normal position.
◗ This will probably happen regularly when you first
start using the brush, but after some time you will
have discovered the optimal brushing pressure,
and the brush will flex backwards less often.
Tip: If plaque is removed properly, the gums will
have a pink colour and firmly surround the teeth.
Healthy gums do not bleed when you eat or brush
your teeth (see also the section ‘taking optimal care
of your teeth’) If, nevertheless, your gums bleed
slightly the first few times you use the brush, this
bleeding will generally stop after a few days. If it does
not, consult your dentist or dental hygienist.
Minimum brushing time: 2 minutes
◗ In general, 2 minutes will be enough to clean your
teeth properly.Naturally, you can also brush
longer than 2 minutes.
To indicate when 2 minutes are over, the brush is
equipped with a DuoTimer.The first 2 minutes of
the brushing process, the green pilot light of the
DuoTimer blinks.After these two minutes, the
brushing proces is briefly interrupted and the
green pilot light burns continuously.This
interruption will occur every two minutes.
The DuoTimer measures the actual brushing time,
even if you switch the appliance off during the
brushing process (for max. 10 seconds).
