VIBRITE SONIC TOOTHBRUSH
How often should I use my Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush?
Just like a typical toothbrush, you should use your Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush at least twice a day, every day, and remember to floss daily, too.
How do I charge my Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush?
Charge your new Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush a minimum of 24 hours prior to your first brushing. Then feel free to store your Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush in the charger base when not in use, plugged in, for maximum battery life. Your brush can retain a charge for approximately two weeks of normal use (two times a day).
Why doesn't the charging light on my Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush turn on when I place the handle in the charging case?
This usually means the brush is fully charged. When the battery's low that's when the light will come on to show you the battery's getting recharged.
How does the timer on the Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush work?
The built-in brushing timer will guide you to brush for the dentist-recommended two minutes. The timer has a 30-second interval which will tell you when it's time to switch to another quadrant of your mouth.
I feel a tingling sensation when I first use my Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush. Is this normal?
Yes, it is because the Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush cleans differently, it can feel strange to new users. The most common reaction to using a sonic toothbrush for the first time is a tingling sensation on the gums, which is not harmful. Also, you do not need to apply as much pressure when using the Vibrite toothbrush as you do with a manual toothbrush. In a short time, brushing with the Vibrite toothbrush will feel completely normal.
Should my gums be tender after I use my Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush?
If you have gum disease, haven't been using a power toothbrush or don't floss regularly, you may experience some tenderness with your Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush. Be sure you're applying only light pressure to your teeth and gums. Your gums should feel less tender within a few days of use.
How do I avoid "splattering" when using my Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush?
Be sure to place the brush head in your mouth before you press the power button and keep your mouth closed around the brush while brushing.
Do I have to store my Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush handle and brush heads in the charging case?
Given that you cannot overcharge your Vibrite Sonic Toothbrush, feel free to store it in the charging case along with the brush heads. Since your Vibrite will hold its charge for approximately two weeks of normal use (brushing twice a day for two minutes), you can also choose to keep it out of the charger for much of the time. Also Vibrite's extended charge time makes it perfect for travel.
How often should I replace my brush head?
We recommend replacing your brush head every 3 months. Brush heads should be replaced even if they don't look worn because an overly used brush head compromises the effectiveness of your Vibrite sonic toothbrush. Make sure you purchase authorized Vibrite brush heads that are designed to fit your handle.
