Electric toothbrush benefits and disadvantages?

As a dentist many patients often ask about some of the problems of dental cleaning, which there are many people will ask about the electric toothbrush related queries, such as the benefits and disadvantages of electric toothbrush ah, who is suitable for the use of electric toothbrush? Which people are not suitable for such questions are very many. The sales of electric toothbrushes in the past few years is simply a rocket-like growth, which is actually behind people's dental care teeth cleaning more and more attention due to. I myself is in the side of the dentist's encouragement to start using an electric toothbrush, so far is also considered a senior old user, usually in order to give you some knowledge related to electric toothbrushes, they also bought a lot of electric toothbrushes in the try and experience, so today I will talk to you about the benefits and disadvantages of electric toothbrushes, as well as electric toothbrushes, some of the key shortcomings, can not say that splash the industry cold water, just hope that everyone! can rational consumption, rigorous scientific use.

We'll start with the good stuff, what are the benefits of an electric toothbrush? Compared to ordinary toothbrushes, is it better to have an electric toothbrush or an ordinary toothbrush? The truth is, if you follow the "Pasteurized Brushing Method" to the letter and use it correctly, you probably won't end up with too much of a difference in cleaning results. But I still recommend an electric toothbrush because it has five advantages.

1. Electric toothbrush cleaning efficiency, the use of traditional toothbrushes to brush ten minutes of the effect of the electric toothbrush may be comparable to the brush two or three minutes, especially students and office workers and other people in the morning time is tight crowd, there is not much brushing time, then choose an electric toothbrush, can reduce the time of brushing and will not reduce the effect of brushing teeth.

2. Easier to control the force, because the electric toothbrush vibration is relatively uniform and stable, there will be no ordinary toothbrush strength subjective, uncontrollable, this aspect of the ordinary toothbrush is very easy to hurt teeth, because the strength of the light and heavy.

3. Better control of time, for many electric toothbrushes, are equipped with time prompt function. Generally speaking, the best time to brush your teeth is in two minutes, and when the time is up, it will prompt you to brush your teeth enough time, no need to brush again.

4. can effectively improve the teeth of oral diseases, electric toothbrush because of the high intensity of the vibration frequency, can be effective on the stubborn plaque and calculus for effective removal, we must know that plaque and calculus is the main cause of periodontitis, so the electric toothbrush has a very good role in removing. This is the main reason why many dentists and oral care professionals encourage people to use electric toothbrushes.

5. Save time and effort, as mentioned above, although the ordinary toothbrush if carefully brushed teeth can be brushed clean, this point of view itself is right, but the so-called careful degree of standard is very strict, spend time and energy are very big, who have the time to get up early in the morning, the brain is still in the state of relaxation, on the serious and careful brushing teeth? And the electric toothbrush as long as you set a good mode, save time and effort, and also brush clean!

The core reason why many dentists encourage people to use electric toothbrushes is because of this, the national dental health rate is low, poor quality, this is the reality of the moment, almost everyone has a variety of dental oral problems, the urgent need to improve. The electric toothbrush is such an effective cleaning and care tool. Long-term use can effectively remove plaque, calculus, etc., and gradually improve dental oral diseases.

Online are said, electric toothbrush is more likely to hurt teeth? Take a look at the key shortcomings and bad bad things about electric toothbrushes. The working principle of the electric toothbrush is to drive the brush head through the strong vibration frequency for tens of thousands of times per minute friction on the teeth to clean, in this case on the teeth gums in the wear and tear is inevitable. Don't believe that the Internet said the electric toothbrush is absolutely safe, that is in the laboratory. We 1.4 billion people in China dental health degree of difference is large and complex, coupled with a lot of people greedy cheap to buy low-priced low-quality electric toothbrushes, or unscientific brushing and use, will lead to injuries to the teeth of the adverse effects of the existence of bad!

This I have used in the past, as well as a large number of patients' teeth observation, there is indeed a certain degree of risk of injury to the teeth. And under what circumstances can an electric toothbrush harm your teeth?

The first purchase of cheap electric toothbrushes, cheap electric toothbrushes, the core of the material cost is very low, the experience is even more unlikely to be good, such as the motor is not enough power, the bristles are poorly injured teeth, the battery is easy to age, etc. are the most common problems of poor quality electric toothbrushes, if indeed the budget is limited then I recommend that you still behave with a manual.

The second blind pursuit of strong cleaning power of electric toothbrushes, many users are stimulated by the era of "cleaning anxiety", only to consider how to clean the teeth, ignoring whether the teeth are tolerated, the long-term use of electric toothbrushes cleaning power is too strong, the gums bleed and inflammation, or teeth damage disease. Thirdly, the attitude of using electric toothbrush is not enough. Third, the use of electric toothbrush attitude perfunctory, for example, not in accordance with the electric toothbrush timed two minutes to clean, every day casually brush dozens of seconds to get. And do not replace the electric toothbrush brush head on time, brush head use too long to blow hairs, even if the electric toothbrush how powerful, if you do not seriously in accordance with the correct electric toothbrush brushing method to use, all of them will not play a role, but also on the teeth to cause harm.

How should we choose an electric toothbrush? In order to effectively avoid the problem of electric toothbrushes exist to hurt teeth?

1. Brand: Which brand of electric toothbrush is good? The first consideration of the brand it's reputation, positive feedback, core technology, with or without a technical team, with or without supply chain strength, etc., these represent the quality of the products it produces good or bad, after-sales whether there is a guarantee. Low-priced electric toothbrush must not buy, the probability of injury to the teeth is very high. In addition, Europe and the United States of the international brand vibration are generally strong, the destructive nature of the teeth and gums is greater, it is not recommended to buy! Domestic electric toothbrush has a few brands is my years of use down very recognized, such as Cai Le electric toothbrush, I highly recommend you to use, the domestic professional does not hurt teeth of the head of the brand, highly recognized by the dentist and oral division and recommended, and most of them are actively recommended, including me. Can reduce the damage of brushing 80%, comfortable and non-irritating also brush very clean. It's just a little expensive and never goes on sale, never advertises and is very low key. If it is too expensive, Shook, with the same family, Roman is also a choice, cost-effective quality in the fair, not good nor bad, in the low-priced products in the word of mouth is not bad.

2. Price: the price of electric toothbrushes from thousands of dollars to tens of dollars, although everyone's economic strength is not the same, but it is recommended to try to choose within the scope of their own strength of the expensive quality of electric toothbrushes, do not momentarily greedy for a small bargain to buy cheap electric toothbrushes, cheap electric toothbrushes, materials, performance do not meet the national standards, there is harm to the teeth. No matter which brand of electric toothbrush is good? Low price must be bad. Suggested price range to consider 200-400.

3. Bristles: Although the bristles of a small dozens of clusters, but because the bristles of the entire electric toothbrush directly in contact with the oral cavity of the part, so pay extra attention to a wide range of factors to be referred to, such as observing the shape of the bristles, bristle rounding rate, the bristle hair planting rate, the bristles of the material, soft and hard, and so on, all of these factors are to reach a high score is a high-quality bristles.

4. Motor: the core part of the electric toothbrush is the motor, the electric toothbrush vibration is not stable and balanced or not, the power is strong or not strong all depend on the motor, so choose a high quality motor, such as magnetic levitation motor.

5. Swing: sonic electric toothbrush bristles will swing around, swing angle is very delicate, swing too big wave to the gums, swing too small cleaning range is not in place, so we have to choose the swing between three to nine degrees of the highest quality.

6. Waterproof performance: electric toothbrush every day will come into contact with water, if the shell waterproof performance is poor, the water will penetrate into the internal threat to the core parts, the core parts of the entire electric toothbrush once damaged will be scrapped, so choose a high waterproof performance.

7. Charging & range: electric toothbrush charging and range time will affect the user experience, for example, some electric toothbrush brands need to be charged for ten or twenty hours at a time, but the range is only a week, with the use of the power out of the mood, so which brand of electric toothbrush is good? We want to choose the electric toothbrush with super short charging time and exceptionally long range.

8. Warranty & post-service: electric toothbrush is an integrated product, generally only replacement does not repair, the big brand warranty time is a little longer, generally in two years or more than two years, the small brand warranty is generally a few months or a year, so the electric toothbrush which brand is good? Choose a big brand is more secure.

Additionally on the correct use, I hope you follow the following points, do not blindly and arbitrarily use the electric toothbrush, easy to cause unnecessary injuries to the teeth and other bad things! The first: follow the pasteurized brushing method, or rotary brushing method, most of us in the past have used the horizontal horizontal brushing method to brush the teeth, such a method is easy to wear teeth gums, mainly teeth gum grooves brush is not clean, the deposition of tartar plaque.

The second: it is necessary to replace the brush head once every 2-4 months, be sure to change, don't save the money, do not change the expiration date of the bristles are very serious, the stimulation of the teeth and gums will gradually increase.

Third: brushing frequency and time to reasonable control, do not over-brush, general electric toothbrush have 2 minutes to stop automatically, 30 seconds to change the area to remind, try to strictly abide by. At the same time a day morning and evening brushing frequency can be.

The fourth: regularly check their teeth gums, there is no redness, swelling, pain, bleeding and other conditions, to avoid the damage caused by improper use of electric toothbrushes.

Fifth: some electric toothbrush brush questions, such as whether to open or close the mouth brush, this is in fact no clear requirements, the past manual brushing how how. Another electric toothbrush brush whether the hand to move, how to say this? The hand is certainly to move position, just do not need to vigorously go hard to brush teeth, just need to ensure that the electric toothbrush fit the surface of the teeth can be, but still need to rely on the hand to move the cleaning position and area.

The above is my experience as a dentist and long-term electric toothbrush under the use of electric toothbrush benefits and disadvantages, as well as the key shortcomings of the electric toothbrush and avoidance methods, I hope to be able to be useful to everyone. Electric toothbrush is definitely a dental oral cleaning artifact, which can be seen in the popularity of foreign developed countries in Europe and the United States, almost everyone is using an electric toothbrush. So we do not need to worry too much about electric toothbrush bad bad and insufficient, these are in fact our people in the past do not pay attention to dental care, too casual brushing habits lead to, as long as the next to develop good cleaning habits and awareness of the safety of electric toothbrushes can be avoided shortcomings and bad bad bad.
