Clean and healthy teeth ... with Philips!

Teeth are essential for a good digestion and also play an important role in speech. Furthermore, sound teeth are one of the prerequisites for an attractive appearance.

Unfortunately, teeth are often prematurely lost due to dental decay and inflammation of the gums. This is mainly caused by dental plaque.

What is dental plaque?

Dental plaque is a soft and sticky film which continually develops on teeth. It has almost the same colour as teeth and mainly consists of bacteria which occur normally in the mouth.

As long as plaque is still soft, it can easily be removed.

If not removed timely, plaque will start to calcify. This hard, calcified plaque is called "tartar".

New soft plaque will easily adhere to the rough surface of this tartar. As tartar is usually firmly stuck to the tooth, it must be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist.

Fig. 1 shows a section of a tooth. The root of the tooth is joined to the jawbone by strong tissue, called periodontium.

The jawbone is covered by gums or gingiva.

Gums, jawbone and periodontium together form the supporting tissue.

What are the effects of plaque?

The bacteria in the plaque produce an acid which can dissolve the enamel of the teeth and the dentine beneath it. This will cause dental decay (caries).

The bacteria also form substances which may cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) or decay of the supporting tissue (periodontitis).

This process is illustrated in fig. 2: the shallow groove around the tooth has become a deep pocket filled with plaque and tartar.

If the inflammation of the gums is allowed to continue for too long, it may lead to destruction of the periodontium and gradual loss of the jawbone. Inflamed gums are generally red and swollen and often bleed when the teeth are brushed.

Eventually, this may result in the tooth coming loose or falling out (fig. 3). Thorough and regular removal of plaque will prevent gingivitis from starting and will help stop the spread of periodontitis.

Clean & Clear brush movement (fig. 4a)

The brush moves in two directions and at two speeds simultaneously:

• Quick short stroke (4200 rpm) longitudinal scrubbing to dislodge the plaque material;
• Slow long stroke (120 rpm) rolling movement to move the dislodged plaque away.

New "Soft Pressure Control" (fig. 4b)

Too much pressure may damage both gums and teeth, causes unnecessary wear of the brush and also reduces the effectiveness of the brushing operation.

The “Soft Pressure Control” system helps you to control the pressure when brushing your teeth.

When pushed too hard against the teeth or gums, the brush will automatically warn you by a sudden change in the position of its neck.

"Contour" brush profile (fig. 4c)

The ergonomic “Contour” bristle profile guarantees optimum cleaning. The soft white bristles brush the gumline and reach deeply between the teeth. The blue bristles especially clean the (chewing) surfaces.

Important

• First charging: at least 12 hours.
• The mains cord of this appliance cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded.
• For optimum brushing efficiency and for hygiene: replace the click-on brushes as soon as the hairs begin to stand out or at least every three months.
• It is advisable to use your electrical toothbrush twice a day for at least two minutes.
• The built-in rechargeable battery contains substances which may pollute the environment.

When eventually discarding your appliance please remove the built-in rechargeable battery (fig. 20-26) and dispose of it at an officially assigned refuse site or otherwise according to national regulations.

How to charge (fig. 8-10)

• Ensure that the appliance is switched off when (re)charging.
• Before first use charge for at least 12 hours.
• In normal use, the toothbrush is recharged after each use by just placing it back into the connected charge unit.

How to use (fig. 11-15)

• Let the toothbrush do the work for you: just guide the bristle carefully along the teeth. Ensure that the brush touches the entire tooth surface as well as a small section of the gums.
• If the head clicks into a straight position during brushing, this means that you have applied too much pressure (fig. 15).
• Also refer to the provided Tooth Brushing Instructions card.

Minimum brushing time: 2 minutes (fig. 16)

Two minutes is regarded to be the minimum time required for effective plaque removal and gum massage.

For even better results you may decide to brush longer.

Remember that fluoride in toothpaste also needs some time to act.

Protecting the environment

To remove the built-in rechargeable battery when eventually discarding your appliance: see fig. 20-26.

• Please note: You can also take the appliance to a Philips Service Centre. The staff will be happy to help you.
• Before removing the battery should be completely empty of charge. Let the appliance run until the motor stops.
• Please note: Only unscrew the bottom for battery removal.

The toothbrush may not be watertight anymore after the bottom has been unscrewed.

For that reason the guarantee is void after opening the toothbrush.

Fitting a different plug

This appliance is fitted with a BS 1363 13 Amp. plug.

Should you need to replace the plug, connect the wires as follows:

Brown wire to the Live (L) terminal of the new plug.

Blue wire to the Neutral (N) terminal of the new plug.

Always fit the same value of fuse as that originally supplied with your appliance.

Only use BS 1362 approved fuses.

As a guide only: Appliances under 700 W can have a 3 Amp. fuse (red) and all others should have a 13 Amp. fuse (brown).

When disposing of an old plug (particularly the moulded type which has been cut from the mains cord) always remove the fuse as the plug could be dangerous if ever inserted in a live socket.
