Using an electric toothbrush can significantly enhance your oral hygiene routine. Seven Oral Care electric toothbrushes are designed to provide a thorough and efficient cleaning experience. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use an electric toothbrush properly.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare the Toothbrush:
- Attach the brush head to the handle of your Seven Oral Care electric toothbrush.
- Ensure the brush head is securely fixed and properly aligned.
2. Apply Toothpaste:
- Squeeze a pea-sized amount of toothpaste onto the bristles.
- Spread the toothpaste evenly across the bristles for effective cleaning.
3. Wet the Bristles:
- Briefly run the toothbrush head under water to wet the bristles and toothpaste.
4. Position the Toothbrush:
- Place the toothbrush in your mouth before turning it on to avoid splattering toothpaste.
- Position the bristles at a 45-degree angle to your gum line.
5. Turn on the Toothbrush:
- Turn on your Seven Oral Care electric toothbrush by pressing the power button.
6. Divide Your Mouth into Sections:
- Mentally divide your mouth into four sections: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left.
- Spend 30 seconds on each section, ensuring a total brushing time of 2 minutes.
7. Brush Gently:
- Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, allowing the bristles to move in and around each tooth.
- Avoid applying too much pressure; let the electric toothbrush do the work.
8. Focus on All Surfaces:
- Clean all surfaces of each tooth: outer, inner, and chewing surfaces.
- Pay special attention to hard-to-reach areas, such as the back molars.
9. Use the Built-in Timer:
- Utilize the built-in timer feature of your Seven Oral Care electric toothbrush to ensure you brush for the recommended 2 minutes.
- The timer may signal when it's time to move to the next section of your mouth.
10. Brush Your Tongue:
- After cleaning your teeth, gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
11. Rinse Your Mouth and Toothbrush:
- Turn off the toothbrush before removing it from your mouth.
- Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
- Rinse the toothbrush head under running water to remove any remaining toothpaste and debris.
12. Store the Toothbrush:
- Store your Seven Oral Care electric toothbrush in a clean, dry place.
- If your toothbrush has a charging base, place it on the base to ensure it's always ready for use.
Tips for Optimal Use
1. Replace Brush Heads Regularly: Replace the brush head every three months or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
2. Use Appropriate Brushing Modes: Seven Oral Care electric toothbrushes offer multiple brushing modes. Choose the mode that best suits your needs, such as daily clean, sensitive, or gum care.
3. Avoid Excessive Pressure: Using too much pressure can damage your gums. Trust the electric toothbrush to provide effective cleaning with minimal pressure.
4. Consistent Routine: Brush your teeth twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime, for optimal oral health.
