What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

The powered handle moves the bristles for you, while the round head is positioned tooth by tooth along the junction between enamel and gingiva. It removes plaque mechanically, but it cannot clean every interdental space or treat established periodontal disease.

What can you do next?

Use a soft replacement head, light pressure, and a slow path around the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces; clean between teeth separately. Replace the head when the bristles are worn and follow the device instructions for charging and cleaning.

When should you seek dental care?

Book a dental examination for bleeding, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, gum recession, or deposits that brushing cannot remove. Swelling, pus, fever, or facial pain warrants prompt care.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask whether the head size suits your mouth, how much pressure to use, which interdental aid fits, and whether professional periodontal cleaning is needed.
