Gum Protection
1 The Gum Protection system guarantees
that you will not exert too much pressure
on the teeth and gums.
2 If you exert too much pressure on the
toothbrush, you will feel and hear a click
when the brush head flexes backwards.
As soon as you reduce the pressure, the
brush head will return to its normal
position.This will protect your gums.
This will probably happen a few times when you
first start using the brush. 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.
