8. Operation
CAUTION:
Users could possibly experience mild bleeding of the gums
during the first days of electric toothbrush usage. Should the
bleeding continue over several days, a dentist should be con-
sulted.
If your child has had dental surgery in the last two months,
consult a dentist before using the toothbrush.
Exert only light pressure when brushing to prevent damage
to the gums and to increase the service life of the bristles.
8.1 Introductory aids for children
The sonic toothbrush for children has a number of functions that
are intended to make learning to brush with an electric toothbrush
easier, particularly for small children.
Power settings (modes)
The toothbrush has a normal mode and a beginner mode.
-
Mode with low pulsation (beginner mode), left LED 15:
The vibration of the toothbrush is comparatively gentle. This
allows the child to slowly get used to the intensity. After one
or two weeks, you should switch to normal mode with higher
pulsation.
Recommended for younger or anxious children.
-
Mode with high pulsation (normal mode), right LED 14:
Normal vibration. This mode is active on delivery (see "Se-
lecting a mode" on page 40).
Recommended for older children.
