Is electric toothbrush really more effective than ordinary toothbrush?

Electric toothbrush is driven by electricity to clean teeth, and ordinary brushing is manual. From this point of view, brushing teeth with electric toothbrush will be more labor-saving, convenient and efficient. Secondly, the cleaning power of electric toothbrush will be better than that of ordinary toothbrush. Previous studies have shown that electric toothbrushes can remove 38% more dental plaque than manual brushing.

The electric toothbrush of the invention has better cleaning effect because of the ultrasonic vibration to assist brushing, and can clean soft dirt, food residues and bacteria on the tooth surface, thus greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of the tooth surface. If there are old people or children at home who can't brush their teeth completely, it is usually recommended to use an electric toothbrush.

However, the method of brushing teeth is more important than the type of toothbrush. When used correctly, both kinds of toothbrushes can achieve good cleaning effect. For ordinary adults, it is not recommended to excessively pursue the brand of toothbrush in the choice of toothbrush. It is recommended to choose a soft toothbrush with nylon thread as far as possible. Compared with the type of toothbrush, the method, frequency and time of brushing teeth, oral health awareness is more important.

When brushing your teeth, you should use the horizontal vibration brushing method, that is, when brushing your teeth, the bristles are inclined at an angle of 45, facing the gums, and slightly horizontally vibrate to brush your teeth. Adults are advised to brush their teeth three times a day, usually for three minutes after meals.

If the electric toothbrush is used, it can help clean the bacteria and dental plaque on the tooth surface due to the vibration of ultrasonic waves, and play a better role in cleaning the tooth surface. The electric toothbrush can thoroughly clean teeth, and with super power cleaning, it vibrates 365,438+0,000 times per minute, or even higher. Moreover, it is equipped with a special brush head, which is generally clean and bright. If there are more, there will be sensitive and tooth-protecting brushes, which will naturally be more effective than brushing our teeth with ordinary toothbrushes.

In addition, the two main types of electric toothbrushes are rotary and sonic. These two types also correspond to different brush heads, the rotary round head type and the acoustic wave type are both long, which is the appearance of common toothbrush heads, so to some extent, the selection type is to choose the brush head and cleanliness. Rotary: high cleanliness, but the wear on teeth will be greater than that of sound waves, because the friction effect is good; Acoustic wave type: the cleanliness is not as high as that of rotary type, but it is also good, and it has the function of protecting gums. There is also a 3D electric toothbrush, mainly owned by Oral B. In this case, a small round head wrapped in a package is used, which combines rotary and sonic. However, most of the current electric toothbrushes are sonic, especially for friends who use electric toothbrushes for the first time. It will be better to choose sonic. For most people, the effect of electric toothbrush is indeed more effective than that of ordinary toothbrush without using the correct brushing method. If the correct way of brushing teeth is the same, the electric toothbrush is not more effective than the ordinary toothbrush, but more convenient and smarter.
