How to Reset a Sonic Toothbrush to the Beginning

All Philips Sonicare Sonic toothbrushes have a two-minute cycle to help you brush your teeth to a standard recommended by dentists. Sonic toothbrushes also are programed to beep every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to start cleaning the next section of teeth. This system allots 30 seconds per each section of teeth: top-left half, top-right half, bottom-left half and bottom-right half. If you need to restart the two-minute cycle due to a distraction, you can do so easily.
