Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the charging unit (g) into an electrical outlet and place the handle (f)
on the charging unit (see picture 1 , page 2).
• A full charge takes at least 12 hours and enables approximately one
week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the plugged-
in charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is impossible.
However for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to unplug the
charging unit until the next recharge is required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug
the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with regular use at least
every 6 months.
Brushing
Brushing modes
Oral-B Pulsonic Slim offers different brushing modes for varying oral care
needs:
«Clean» – Gentle, effective mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle cleaning for sensitive areas.
When pressing the on/off button, your toothbrush automatically starts in
the « Clean» mode. To shift from the «Clean» to the «Sensitive» mode,
press the on/off button once again. To turn your toothbrush off, press the
on/off button (see picture
2 , page 2).
Brushing technique
• Slide the brush head on the handle. Wet brush head and apply tooth-
paste; you can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the
brush head to your teeth before switching on your toothbrush.
• Place the brush head on the outside surface of your upper teeth. The
toothbrush bristles should be placed against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline.
• Turn your toothbrush on and start brushing in a slightly circular motion
(see picture 4 , page 2). Apply light pressure during brushing. After a few
seconds, guide the bristles to the next section. Brush inside, outside and
chewing surfaces of your teeth with the same motion throughout the
mouth for the recommended 2 minutes.
• To avoid splashing, turn your toothbrush off before removing from the
mouth by pressing the on/off button.
You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when you first use
your Oral-B Pulsonic Slim. This will subside as your teeth and gums will
become accustomed to your Oral-B Pulsonic Slim cleaning experience. If
you experience this initial tingling, you may want to brush in the «Sensitive»
mode first.
In the first few days of using your toothbrush, your gums may bleed
slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist
after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or your dental hygienist.
Brush heads (depending on model)
Oral-B Pulsonic brush head
The Oral-B Pulsonic brush head (a) is recommended for everyday deep
cleaning. Its bristles provide a thorough cleaning between your teeth, tooth
surfaces and along the gumline. The blue indicator bristles help you to
monitor brush head replacement need. With proper brushing, twice a day
for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately within
3 months, signalling it is time to replace your brush head.
Oral-B Precision Tip
The Oral-B Precision Tip (b) is designed to clean between teeth as well as
around bridges, crowns and implants. To use, position it at a 45-degree
angle to gumline and slowly guide it along the gumline from one interdental
space to the next (see picture
5 , page 2).
Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals (one break) reminds you
to brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (see picture
3 , page 2).
A long stuttering sound (two breaks) indicates when you reach the
professionally recommended 2-minute mark.
