Sonicare Elite 7300

Here's how to use this kind of a toothbrush. Hold the toothbrush with a finger grip, similar in manner to how you would hold a pen. Focus the action of the toothbrush head where the teeth meet the gums. Moving the toothbrush back and forth in a gentle manner around this area will help remove the layer of germs that form plaque.

As well as cleaning around the tooth and gum boundary take time to clean every tooth surface. Remember not to forget the back of the teeth and between the gaps.

It is a good idea to clean each tooth in turn as you progress around the mouth. This will help ensure no teeth are missed and will develop a routine.

Good dental hygiene is crucial in infants and children but read the manual first to see if the electric toothbrush has an age limits on it. In general, children under seven should not use an electric toothbrush because it could damage their teeth. They will probably need help to get their teeth fully clean manually as they may not posses the physical dexterity to cover all areas of the mouth.

Finally, a few general rules that apply to any toothbrush whether electric or manual. Don't push in with the brush too hard. Use the brush in small circles rather than from side to side or up and down. These two rules are to safeguard your teeth and gums. Don't share any toothbrush with anybody else. Sharing a brush will raise the risk of infections.
