Oral-B Stages Power has been developed with leading dental professionals to effectively remove plaque from children’s teeth. We hope your child will enjoy his/her new Oral-B toothbrush. This appliance is suitable for children 3 years or older. Please read the usage instructions carefully before showing your child how to use this toothbrush. We recommend that parents supervise their children when they start using the appliance in order to help them to become familiar with it. Using the toothbrush Please use following steps to explain to your child how to operate the toothbrush properly: • Put a small amount of toothpaste onto the brush head. (We recommend fluoride toothpaste.) • First guide the brush head to the teeth; then turn on the handle by pressing the on/off switch . • Start with the lower teeth: Slowly guide the brush head from tooth to tooth; first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces. Do not scrub or press too hard. The Oral-B Stages Power automatically provides proper cleaning action. • After one minute of operation, an incorporated timer signals by a short stutter to move on to the upper teeth and clean them – again tooth by tooth until the next timer signal is given. • Turn off the handle by pressing the on/off switch while the brush head is still in the mouth. The brush head is provided with a row of blue INDICATOR® bristles helping you to monitor brush head replacement need. With proper brushing twice a day for two minutes, the colour will fade halfway in a 3-month period , provided toothpaste is used. If bristles begin to splay before the colour starts to recede, this indicates that your child exerts too much pressure on teeth and gums. Replacement brush heads EB10 Available at your retailer or at an Oral-B Braun Service Centre. Cleaning After use, rinse the brush head for several seconds under running water with the handle switched on. Then switch off the handle and take off the brush head.
