How to Use a Diamond Clean Toothbrush

Using a Diamond Clean toothbrush effectively involves proper technique, understanding its features, and maintaining the brush head for optimal cleaning.

Getting Started with Your Diamond Clean

Using your Sonicare DiamondClean electric toothbrush is simple and helps achieve a thorough clean.

Here are the basic steps:

1. Charge: Ensure your toothbrush is charged. The DiamondClean comes with different charging options like a glass or travel case.
2. Apply Toothpaste: Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
3. Position: Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline.
4. Power On: Turn on the toothbrush. Do not scrub; let the brush's sonic vibrations do the work.

Brushing Technique

Move the brush head gently across your teeth, covering all surfaces.

• Front Surfaces: Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth.
• Back Surfaces: Move the head towards the back. The angled neck of the DiamondClean is specially designed to reach those hard-to-reach areas, ensuring you clean molars and the back of your front teeth effectively.
• Chewing Surfaces: Hold the brush head on the chewing surfaces for a few seconds before moving to the next.

Sonicare toothbrushes typically have a built-in timer (often 2 minutes, sometimes with QuadPacer alerts every 30 seconds) to help you brush for the recommended time in each section of your mouth.

Maximizing Performance

To get the best results from your DiamondClean toothbrush, follow these tips:

• Brush Length: Brush for the full recommended time (usually 2 minutes).
• Pressure: Apply light pressure. The toothbrush's motor is designed to clean effectively without hard scrubbing. Some models have a pressure sensor to alert you if you press too hard.
• Modes: Utilize the different cleaning modes your DiamondClean offers (e.g., Clean, White, Gum Health, Deep Clean, Tongue Care) based on your oral care needs.
• Replacing Brush Heads: Replace your brush head every three months to get the best results. Worn bristles are less effective at removing plaque.

Maintaining Your Brush

After brushing, rinse the brush head thoroughly under water. Wipe the handle clean if necessary. Store the toothbrush upright to air dry.

By following these steps and regularly replacing your brush head, you can effectively use your DiamondClean toothbrush for a superior clean.
