 Hold the brush head in this position for a few seconds and then 
move on to the next tooth. (Fig. 9)
The round brush head removes plaque from the teeth and beneath the 
gum line.
The individually moving Active Tip cleans between the teeth.
  
 Guide the brush head carefully along the teeth and molars. (Fig. 0)
Make sure you clean all surfaces of the teeth (inside, outside and 
chewing surface) as well as the gum line properly. A fixed brushing 
pattern will prevent you from skipping certain areas.
gum Protection system
  
 The Gum Protection system guarantees that you do not exert too 
much pressure on the teeth and gums. (Fig. )
  
 If you exert too much pressure on the toothbrush, you will feel and 
hear the brush head flexing backwards. As soon as you reduce the 
pressure, the brush head will return to its normal position. This will 
protect your gums. (Fig. )
This will probably happen a few times when you first start using the 
toothbrush. After some time you will have discovered the optimal 
brushing pressure and the brush head will flex backwards less often.
Tip: If plaque is removed properly, the gums will have a pink colour and 
will firmly surround the teeth. Healthy gums do not bleed when you eat 
or brush your teeth (see also the section ‘Optimal dental hygiene’). If, 
nevertheless, your gums bleed slightly the first few times you use the 
brush, this bleeding will generally stop after a few days. If it does not, 
consult your dentist or dental hygienist.
minimum brushing time: 2 minutes
In general, 2 minutes will be enough to clean your teeth properly. 
Naturally, you can also brush longer than 2 minutes.
A red pilot light will blink to indicate that  minutes have passed 
(types HX585, HX58 and HX56 only). (Fig. )
