Braun Oral-B Professional Care Deep Clean & Sensitive 8500 Rechargeable Toothbrush

Push the on / off button once, and your toothbrush automatically starts in the ‘Clean’ mode. Push it again and it will change to the ‘Sensitive’ mode. Push it once more and the toothbrush will turn off.

Connecting and charging

The Professional Care 8500 rechargeable toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and is designed for use in the bathroom. Plug the charging unit into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush handle on the charging unit. The green charge indicator light flashes while the handle is being charged, and when the handle is fully charged the green charge indicator light shines continuously. The red charge indicator light starts blinking when the rechargeable battery is low.

Outstanding Plaque Removal

For clean teeth and strong and healthy gums, Oral-B Professional Care gently cleans in areas where plaque bacteria can collect. It provides outstanding plaque removal even in hard-to-reach areas and is gentle on teeth and gums.

Brushing Technique

• Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth
• Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before moving on to the next tooth
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work

For optimal brushing results, Oral-B Professional Care has a pressure control feature to help you brush gently. This helps protect your gums from excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also hear a different sound.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals, which you can hear and feel, reminds you to brush the four quadrants of your mouth equally for a thorough consistent clean.

2-Minute Timer

A long stuttering sound indicates when the dentist recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.

Both timers memorise the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. Only when pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets to the initial starting point.

In the first days of using the toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after two weeks, please consult your dentist or hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the sensitive mode.

Brush Heads

The Professional Care 8500 rechargeable toothbrush comes with 2 Oral-B Precision Clean brush heads and 1 Oral-B Sensitive brush head.
