Brushing technique
• Attach one of the brushheads 5 to the handle. They can be
used with any kind of toothpaste.
• To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to your teeth
before switching the appliance on.
• Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to tooth.
• Hold the brushhead in place for a few seconds before
moving on to the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then
the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all
the work.
Pressure Sensor
For optimal brushing results Oral-B
® ProfessionalCare™
8500 has a pressure control feature to ensure that the right
degree of pressure is applied. This helps protect your gums
from excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush easy to
operate. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating
movement of the brushhead will continue but the pulsation
will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also hear the
difference.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals, which you
can hear and feel, reminds you to brush the four quadrants of
your mouth equally for a better overall clean.
2-Minute Timer
A long stuttering sound indicates when the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
During the first few days of using the 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 hygienist.
