Oral-B Vitality Pro Electric Toothbrushes - Black and Blue

For optimal performance, it is recommended to charge your Vitality Pro for a full 16 hours before first use. After that, you can charge it as needed, typically when the battery indicator shows low power. Many users keep it on the charger between uses without harm to the battery.

Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles become visibly worn or splayed. A blue indicator on some brush heads fades to white, signaling it's time for a replacement.

The Oral-B Vitality Pro handle is water-resistant and designed for use in the bathroom. However, it should not be fully submerged in water. The charging unit should always be kept dry.

Oral-B offers specific electric toothbrushes for children. While the Vitality Pro has sensitive modes, it's generally recommended for adults and children over 3 years old under adult supervision. Consult with a dental professional for suitability for young children.

The 'Daily Clean' mode provides a standard, thorough clean. The 'Sensitive' mode operates at a lower speed for a gentler experience. The 'Sensitive Plus' mode is the gentlest setting, specifically designed for maximum gum protection and highly sensitive areas.

The Oral-B Vitality Pro features an in-handle quadrant timer. It will emit a brief stuttering sound or pulse every 30 seconds to indicate you should move to the next quadrant of your mouth. A longer, distinct signal at 2 minutes indicates that the dentist-recommended brushing time has been reached.

Ensure the toothbrush is fully charged. Place it on the charging base for at least 16 hours for a full charge. Check that the charging base is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. If the issue persists, try a different outlet.

Try switching to the 'Sensitive' or 'Sensitive Plus' brushing mode. You might also consider purchasing an Oral-B 'Sensitive Clean' or 'Sensi UltraThin' brush head, which features softer bristles designed for gentle cleaning. Ensure you are not applying too much pressure; the brush should do most of the work.

After each use, remove the brush head and rinse both the brush head and the handle under running water. Wipe the handle dry. Periodically, unplug the charger and wipe it clean with a damp cloth, ensuring it is completely dry before reconnecting to power. Regular cleaning prevents buildup.

Check if the brush head is securely attached to the handle. If it is, ensure the battery is fully charged. If the problem persists after charging, try replacing the brush head, as a faulty brush head can sometimes affect performance. If neither helps, contact Oral-B customer support.
