A flashing blue light around the power button indicates the STYLSMILE toothbrush needs to be recharged. Please charge the toothbrush using the USB power lead provided. Before first use, please remove the plastic battery tab from the battery compartment of the LED Accelerator, and rinse the mouth tray in warm water. The beauty of electric toothbrushes is that they do most of the work for you. That said, Yusra Al-Mukhtar, dental expert and founder of dryusra.com, advises that holding your toothbrush at the right angle is key to achieving a proper clean.

Most electric toothbrushes have multiple settings and brush heads that are designed for specific purposes including whitening or freshening breath. Look for rubber sections to help with stain removal and softer bristles if your teeth are sensitive. Ultimately, this choice comes down to personal preference, but celebrity dentist Dr Richard Marques recommends going electric. Apply 1/4 Gel from syringe to the upper and 1/4 to the lower inside of the mouth tray (for ease it is suggested you hold the tray vertically). As a result of age, medication, trauma and other factors, the dentine layer behind the enamel becomes stained, often becoming more yellow. Furthermore, as we age the enamel layer can wear down and become thinner, making the dentine layer more visible. Both of these factors can give the impression of darker, stained teeth.

Connect the LED Accelerator to the mouth tray by gently easing it on and ensuring the silicone lip is over the plastic area on all sides. Electric toothbrushes are more effective because they take a lot of the work and worry off your hands,’ he says. ‘Many modern models have variable functions so you can control the speed and intensity to suit your needs. They also have the edge over manual brushes because the oscillation (that’s the rotating and pulsating movement of the brush), removes surface plaque from teeth much more effectively.’ How should I use an electric toothbrush? Hold the brush head at 45 degrees to the tooth, aimed towards the gum, and apply minimal pressure,’ she says. ‘Then focus on each tooth surface for three to five seconds before moving onto the next one.’ Brush teeth in circular motions for 2 minutes, please note the toothbrush will pulse every 30 seconds.

Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the toothbrush, press once for a fast speed or twice for a slower speed.The Ultimate Whitening Kit is the only kit that whitens teeth in 3 ways. You won’t find abrasive bleach in our products, but you will find a powerfully effective yet gentle combination of PAP (Phthalimido-peroxy-caproic acid) and Fluoride. While bleach may remove superficial stains on the surface of the tooth, our ingredients cleverly target all three causes of tooth discolouration, reducing stains and improving the whiteness of each layer of the tooth. Sonic toothbrushes vibrate the fastest, but they tend to cost more than a standard oscillating toothbrush, and there is little evidence to suggest that they are much more effective at cleaning, so it's really down to preference. Which electric toothbrushes do dentists recommend? Place mouth tray in mouth, ensuring each tooth is coated in gel. Wipe away any excess gel touching the gums or lips. Turn on the LED light and leave for 15 minutes. Use the 30-second pulses as a guide to brush the four sections of your mouth, move the toothbrush and brush the next section after each pulse. The toothbrush will automatically turn o­ff after 2 minutes.
