However, although there are many Amway products on the Internet, at the same time, the emergence of some cases of tooth injury makes parents hesitate to buyDo these kinds of products really hurt your teeth?As a dental blogger, I would like to say that if you choose a lack of age-specific design, unprofessional products do have a greater risk of tooth damage, and you still need to do more homework if you want to use it for your child with confidence, so today I will sort out a popular science to give you a comprehensive answer, so that parents can choose a truly high-quality children's electric toothbrush for their children!
The picture below is a children's electric toothbrush product that I have reviewed:
1. At what age is a child suitable for an electric toothbrush?
At what age is an electric toothbrush suitable for a child?After all, electric toothbrushes, as an emerging smart product, will definitely bring more or less stimulation to the child's mouth behind the efficient cleaning, and if the child's mouth does not have a certain tolerance, it is easy to hurt the teeth. So let's talk to you about what kind of cleaning tools are suitable for different age groups, and then choose products:
Months to 1 year or so:Children have baby teeth at this time, the mouth is fragile, and they do not need to use a toothbrush and toothpaste to clean it, as long as the parents use a damp cotton cloth to wipe the children's teeth and gums!
- 3 years old:At this stage, children have grown baby teeth and the oral cavity has established initial tolerance, at this time, parents can use a silicone toothbrush to brush their children's teeth, and by the way, they can start to learn to brush their teeth!
Children over the age of age:At this time, the child's teeth are more stable, and the things that can be eaten are becoming more and more abundant, so it is necessary to start paying attention to oral cleaning, otherwise oral problems are likely to occur. Most dentists recommend that children over the age of four use a children's electric toothbrush for better cleaning results!
2. What are the benefits of letting children use electric toothbrushes?
At what age is an electric toothbrush suitable for a child?After reading the above popular science, you should know that children are suitable for using children's electric toothbrushes from the age of 4. However, when parents see the recommendation of the dentist, they will be curious, what are the benefits of letting their children use an electric toothbrush?Even the dentists highly recommend it!The following will give you an analysis, in fact, at this stage, the rate of tooth decay in children in China is still very high, it can be seen that the cleaning efficiency of manual toothbrushes is low, in contrast, children's electric toothbrushes have the following benefits, and it is more suitable for children to use.
Advantage 1: The cleaning power is very strong, which can prevent tooth decay to a certain extent
The first thing recognized by dentists is the efficient cleaning power of children's electric toothbrushes, which can brush the high-incidence areas of dental diseases such as tooth pits and grooves, tooth gaps, gingival sulcus, back of teeth, and crowns that are easily ignored by manual toothbrushes, eliminate plaque, and achieve the effect of preventing tooth decay.
Advantage 2: The vibration frequency is uniform and stable, and the strength is more accurate.
Usually, children can't control the force of brushing with a manual toothbrush, which will increase the rate of tooth injury. Changing to a children's electric toothbrush has a uniform and stable vibration feeling, which can more accurately control the strength and strengthen the tooth protection!
Benefit 3: Save time and effort.
Brushing teeth with a manual toothbrush for a long time, most children will not have the patience to carry out perfunctory, but it will affect the cleaning power, and the use of children's electric toothbrush can be done in only 3 minutes, saving time and effort, and children are more willing to accept!
Advantage 4: The brushing threshold is low, and the child can better grasp it.
For children under the age of 10 with inflexible hand muscles, there are too many details to pay attention to when using a manual toothbrush, and it is difficult to learn to brush your teeth correctly in a short period of time, but the children's electric toothbrush is simple to use, and you only need to fix the angle and change the position to brush your teeth, and the child can learn to brush his teeth faster!
Advantage 5: It is more interesting, and children are more interested in brushing their teeth
Children's electric toothbrush has a wealth of functions, in the eyes of children, it is a toy, compared to manual toothbrushes, it can arouse more interest in brushing, and the enthusiasm will be much higher!
Third, the three major wounds of inferior products
At what age is an electric toothbrush suitable for a child?Children at the age of 4 are suitable for using children's electric toothbrushes, but parents should not impulsively consume products because they have so many benefits. At present, the rate of tooth decay in children is too high, the mouth is sensitive, and the market is very complicated
Hazard 1, wear tooth enamel, stimulate gum bleeding
Since it is said to be an inferior product, there must be some problems, such as lack of professional technology research and development, the use of inferior motors, unqualified bristles and filaments, etc., which can easily irritate the child's oral cavity and cause oral bleeding, and will also overwear the child's tooth enamel.
Hazard 2, exacerbate the child's original dental disease
There are many children who have oral problems, and brushing their teeth with an inappropriate toothbrush will only stimulate the oral cavity and lead to aggravation of the condition.
Hazard 3, chronic tooth damage.
It's not that there will be problems with inferior products, most of them are chronic injuries, and if you have to wait for more times, your child's teeth will become more and more sensitive, often bleed and even have a tendency for the gums to recede, and it will be too late to think about it.
Fourth, summarize the four major causes of tooth injury
At what age is an electric toothbrush suitable for a child?Children can use children's electric toothbrushes from the age of 4 years old. However, the hazards mentioned above are what parents need to pay attention to, and if you want to use children's electric toothbrushes for your children, it is best to know the causes of tooth damage in order to prevent them. For this reason, I specially found this map of the causes of tooth injury with children's toothbrushes from the authoritative oral forum for the most objective reference, and based on this basis, I summarized a few reasons for tooth injury for you to see:
Reason 1: The child's oral tolerance is low
Children in the developing period have very sensitive mouths and have a very low tolerance to external stimuli. Once you use an electric toothbrush that is not professional enough, due to the instability of the performance to the oral cavity of the stimulation is too great, the rate of tooth injury is very high!
Reason 2: The child's brushing method is wrong.
Children who have just learned to brush their teeth cannot brush their teeth every time, if parents do not supervise and let children continue to brush their teeth by mistake, even if they use a very naïve toothbrush, it will hurt their teeth!
Reason 3: Blindly pursue Internet celebrity products.
In addition, many people love to follow the trend and choose Internet celebrity products with strong publicity, which will be easy to use, but in fact, most Internet celebrity brands will only hype, and the products are OEM, lack of relevant technical adjustment, can not meet the oral cleaning needs of children, and the rate of tooth injury is very highReason 4: The product lacks age-specific design.
Children in the development stage, the oral cavity changes greatly, if the product lacks age-specific design, the matching brush head type list.
First, the ability to choose a low compatibility such as few gears and narrow vibration frequency cannot match the oral cleaning needs of children at all, and the rate of tooth injury is very high.
In addition, parents also need to pay attention to the fact that in order to promote the sales of products, most of the current children's electric toothbrush manufacturers will exaggerate the publicity, saying that the product cleaning efficiency is high and safe, but in fact, there are many examples of tooth damage, so when you buy products, you can also take a look at the evaluation chart of the core key data of mainstream children's toothbrushes on the authoritative forum, and compare and choose products with reliable performance. In addition, I also recommend the products that I have evaluated before and think perform well for your reference:
Among thousands of brands,FILIX is recognized as a veteran brand of professional technology, and as a pioneer in the field of "tooth damage" in China, it is the most professional in this fieldIt is also the only brand that has been certified by the European Union, the United States and other countries!It is one of the very few brands of children's electric toothbrushes with a medical background and original medical research and development standardsExclusive research and development of eight major performance and tooth-free black technology,For example, V-ZUS intelligent engine algorithm, innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., the cleaning residue rate is less than 2%, and the compatibility of different ages is increased by 80%.It has been tested by a national authoritative testing agency to have strong cleaning power and reduce 90% of brushing damage, and it is rare to obtain certification from the European Union and other countriesStrong power and low attenuation, very strong seismic frequency stability and balance, good compatibility with complex children's teeth in China, and after more than 6 years of anti-attenuation design and testing, it has achieved 6 years of comprehensive performance, durability, tooth injury rate certification, and the non-toxic and corrosion resistance of the bristles has been improved by 983%, safer and non-toxic.
The key to what their family can do is to focus and be professional!Without redundant functions and redundant models, a product has been stuck for seven or eight years, with more than 20 iterations and more than 300 details. And it is known as a "high fault tolerance" children's electric toothbrush, even if the child has the probability of brushing his teeth wrong, it will not hurt his teeth!In order to "clean efficiently and without hurting teeth", a number of original technologies have been created, and more than 100 technical adjustment parameters such as vibration frequency, power, and swing amplitude have been adjustedInMore than 6 yearsThe deviation value of each performance index is not higher than 01%。It has never advertised but has become popular under the recommendation of many dentists, and sales in offline channels have skyrocketed. Many celebrities and celebrities also choose to use their products for their children. In the face of the soaring rate of tooth injury, Huile's professional, rigorous and safe product concept, the product as a strict medical product research and development has been recognized, and the majority of dentists generally believe that it is super protective of the oral cavity
In addition, Philips, as an international brand, feels particularly strongThe stability output is also good, and the quality is okay after I use it myself. However, as a European and American brand, it may be designed for European and American children's teeth, and the overall vibration and power range are smallThe compatibility of dental characteristics of children at different stages in China is slightly poor, so it is necessary to pay attention to selection. In terms of after-sales, Philips does not support trials, and the brush head is more expensive, requiring about 150 yuan a year. Huile not only supports trial, but also gives away 5-year brush heads for a limited time.
If you have to buy something cheapRecommend Bayer, which is relatively cheapThe basic function experience can meet the entry requirements of people who are not high, it does not support trial, and the brush head is about 20 yuan.
Fifth, 8 practical selection tips do not open inferior products!
At what age is an electric toothbrush suitable for a child?Children over 4 years old are suitable for using electric toothbrushes, but like manual toothbrushes, the rate of tooth damage will be high if the product is not purchased properly. Therefore, in the face of many children's electric toothbrush brands, parents are also asking if there are any practical selection tips to ensure that the purchase does not step on the thunder, then there are naturally there, and the following will be summarized for everyone to see:
1. The roundness rate should be more than 80%.
It is recommended to choose a product with a high roundness, and the bristles will not be too sharp to poke the child's mouth. The standard is that the bristle grinding rate is more than 80%, which is more reliable!
2. The softness of the bristles should be suitable for children
Children's oral cavity is sensitive, the softness of the bristles should be within the appropriate range, and the bristles should not be too hard, otherwise it is easy to hurt the mouth, and it cannot be too soft, and there will be no cleaning effect. Young children are more suitable for soft bristles, and older children can choose moderate to soft bristles.
3. Choose a professional brand
The brand will have many years of experience in children's oral care, and can optimize and adjust the key performance of the product, such as the frequency range and swing angle, and have a high degree of compatibility, so as to clean teeth safely and effectively!
4. Select 3 gears of products
It is not recommended to choose products with too many gears, it is very complicated to use, and it is not easy for children to operate, generally three gears are enough to meet the needs of children!
5. The size of the brush head must be scientific and reasonable
Only the right size of the brush head can be cleaned without leaving blind spots, it is recommended to choose a width that can clean 2-3 teeth at once, and the height of the bristles does not exceed the height of the teeth.
6. Refuse U-shaped electric toothbrushes
Although the appearance of this kind of product is very similar to the curvature of the tooth and the operation is simple, it actually lacks the basic swing and vibration frequency, and does not have the cleaning effect!
7. Products with age-specific design
Children's growth rate is fast, the oral cavity changes greatly, it is best to choose a product with age-specific design, matching the variety of brushing, wide frequency and other high compatibility, more able to match the oral cleaning needs of children of different ages!
8. Don't make too much noise
Children are sensitive to sound, and products that are too noisy can easily make them afraid and refuse to brush their teeth. The quality of the product with low noise will be more reliable, and the internal structure design can also be used, which is more suitable for children!
At what age is an electric toothbrush suitable for a child?The above is all the popular science content, and parents who have read it carefully will have a clear answer. In addition to giving babies and children such products at the right age, the most important thing we need to focus on is to buy products scientifically, pay attention to avoid some Internet celebrities, inferior products, and avoid causing children to hurt their teeth. Only by starting with products with high professionalism and age-specific design can we ensure that children do a good job of oral cleaning and do not hurt their teeth!
