The Oral-B Vitality Pro is engineered for effective daily oral hygiene. Its round brush head is designed to oscillate, rotate, and pulsate, mimicking professional dental tools to break up and sweep away plaque. This unique action thoroughly cleans each tooth surface, including hard-to-reach areas, which is often a challenge for manual brushes.
Daily Clean Mode: Ideal for everyday thorough cleaning, effectively removing plaque and maintaining oral health.
Sensitive Mode: Provides a gentler brushing experience, suitable for users with mild gum sensitivity or those new to electric toothbrushes.
Sensitive Plus Mode: This is the gentlest mode, specifically designed for protecting very sensitive gums, offering a soft yet effective clean.
Apply Toothpaste: Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the moistened brush head.
Start Brushing: Place the brush head on your teeth, holding it at a slight angle towards your gum line. Turn on the toothbrush.
Glide, Don't Scrub: Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, allowing it to do the work. There's no need to scrub vigorously like with a manual toothbrush.
Utilize the Timer: The in-handle quadrant timer will briefly pause or pulse every 30 seconds, signaling you to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower left, lower right). After two minutes, it will give a longer signal, indicating you've brushed for the dentist-recommended duration.
Target All Areas: Ensure you clean all surfaces of your teeth: outer, inner, and chewing surfaces.
After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly and store the handle in a dry place. Regular use of the Vitality Pro, combined with proper technique, contributes to healthier gums and teeth, and a fresher feeling mouth.
Charge Fully: Before first use, fully charge your Oral-B Vitality Pro for approximately 16 hours. Simply place the toothbrush handle on the charging unit.
Attach Brush Head: Firmly push the desired Oral-B brush head onto the handle's shaft until it clicks into place. Ensure it's securely attached before use.
Brush Heads: The Oral-B Vitality Pro is compatible with a wide range of Oral-B electric toothbrush heads. Look for Oral-B brush heads that fit Vitality, Pro, Genius, or iO Series (excluding iO Series) handles. Options include 'CrossAction', 'Precision Clean', '3D White', 'Sensitive Clean', and more, allowing you to choose based on your specific oral care needs.
Charger: Only use the Oral-B charger provided with your toothbrush. Ensure the charger is connected to a suitable power outlet.
After Each Use: Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the toothbrush switched on to remove any toothpaste residue and debris. Then turn it off and remove the brush head to rinse the handle and shaft separately.
Cleaning the Handle: Wipe the toothbrush handle regularly with a damp cloth to remove any toothpaste or water stains. Do not submerge the handle in water for extended periods.
Cleaning the Charger: Unplug the charger and wipe it with a damp cloth periodically. Ensure it is completely dry before plugging it back in.
Storage: Store your toothbrush and charger in a clean, dry place when not in use.
Brush Head Replacement: Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles are splayed or worn. Worn bristles clean less effectively and can be abrasive on gums.
