Can you bypass the build up time and just go to the 2 full minutes of brushing?

It depends on your child. For my daughter, I cannot do the 2 minutes yet, she is 3yrs old & she struggles with spit, etc. My son on the other side is much better, we started the 2 minutes at age 3, close to 4 & he does great. Though, there are times where the 2 minutes feel like 5 minutes. :-)

By the directions you only to use it for 15 minutes at a time. I use it longer sometimes. I love mine too!

I haven't tried that. It recommends putting hot water and soap in the container and running it on high for 1 min. That is what I do. If something real thick I do it 2 or 3 times.

I use a "Light Touch" that is "FREE", and "...Against the grain, and with the grain, back and forth like a paint brush..." - it takes about 4-5 minutes to shave as close as any other "Other Type" I have found - I am 82 years old, and still trying to learn!The Old Mountain Goat

Yes you can but the Peppermint oils is a very strong oil so start only at one or two drops.

Yes, but apply more sparingly -- and use it as more of a highlight-type makeup. Then, after the 2-4 hour window where you can't use water, apply a moisturizer.

Yes ...work it with your toothbrush as you would normally but brush a little longer than you usually would

The package says to use them once a day or even twice a day for faster results, I had to stop after 7 days though because my teeth were too sensitive. The website says it is ok to skip days in between.

There is a timer that shuts the toothbrush off once you have brushed the 'recommended' amount of time.

No, it's a rinse out and usually I do right away, or I'll leave in for about 3 minutes if I want a deeper conditioning.

If you have no gum discomfort, start with 20 minutes and work your way up. I use it for an hour.

Yes. But because the way the modes are set up and timed, you shouldn't need to be able to change modes mid brushing session. The manual explains all of this in detail.

I leave it on one hour but I'm doing touch up only, not original whitening. My original was done in the dentist office. I now touch up after each time I get my teeth cleaned. There is an instruction sheet with the package.

Absolutely no. You have to make sure you dont use for more than 10 minutes at the time.

The timer is automatic. After 2 minutes your brush will just turn itself off. If you want to continue you must turn it back on.

As Rob responded, you should have a timer that lets you know you have brushed long enough unless you have an older model that doesn't have a timer. My first Oral B didn't have the timer.

The idea is just to finish all the strips. I wouldn't go several days of skipping them but missing a couple days here and there won't hurt. You can't expect to eat and drink acidic products during your downtime, that basically contradicts itself and makes your previous treatment strips pointless. Having the ingredient on your teeth allows it to keep "fighting". Honestly if you want the best result get it over with...no pain no gain.
