Recently, I have received a lot of private messages from fans, all of whom are asking questions about electric toothbrushes, and many of them have said that they have experienced adverse reactions such as bleeding gums and toothache after using electric toothbrushes, which has also caused everyone's concern about the harm of electric toothbrushes. Is there any harm in brushing with an electric toothbrush?As an oral health blogger, I am here today to answer you what are the dangers of inferior electric toothbrushes, and tell you how to avoid such hazards.
The picture above is an electric toothbrush I've reviewed).
1. Expose the three major hazards of inferior electric toothbrushes!
Is it harmful to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush?Professional and high-quality electric toothbrushes are not harmful, but if the electric toothbrush used is not professional, there is a danger of damaging teeth. It is important to know that the overall oral condition of Chinese people is generally poor, and statistics show that more than 90% of the ** suffer from oral diseases, such as tooth decay, dental caries, periodontitis, etc. And because the discomfort of many diseases is not strong in the early middle and early stages, many people do not think that they have a disease in the mouth, and when buying an electric toothbrush, they are often deceived by unprofessional electric toothbrushes, resulting in tooth damage.
For unprofessional products, the risk of tooth injury is very high, and it usually causes the following three harms to everyone:
Hazard 1:If you use an inferior electric toothbrush, your teeth will be overwhelmed, and your gums will be affected by yourself, causing problems such as frequent bleeding and toothache in your gums.
Hazard 2:Chinese people basically have dental diseases, such as tooth decay, tooth sensitivity, periodontitis, etc., if you use an inferior electric toothbrush, it can accelerate the development of dental disease.
Hazard 3:Long-term use of low-quality electric toothbrushes will also have hidden chronic tooth problems, users often need to spend months or even years to find out, but at this time there are often serious oral problems such as gum recession and loose teeth!
2. Four reasons to reveal the truth behind the tooth injury!
Is it harmful to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush?We now know the dangers of inferior products, but in fact, it is more important to understand the cause of tooth damage, because only by finding the cause can we find a way to avoid it. So why do inferior electric toothbrushes hurt teeth?The following picture gives the answer, the figure is the authoritative ** survey data on the causes of tooth injury with electric toothbrushes, from the picture, the reasons for inferior electric toothbrushes to hurt teeth are mainly the following four points:
Reason 1: Use a product with low compatibility
The oral cavity has always been in the midst of change, and the Chinese people still have common dental disease, the oral environment is very complex and changeable, so the Chinese people should choose an electric toothbrush with excellent compatibility, if you choose a low compatibility product with a small number of gears, a narrow frequency span, and a small brush head type, such an electric toothbrush is difficult to adapt to the complex oral characteristics of the Chinese people, and we often hurt the teeth when we use it, and problems such as gum bleeding and toothache are very common.
Reason 2: Thinking that your teeth are healthy, you choose an electric toothbrush indiscriminately
Chinese people generally have oral diseases, the tolerance of the oral cavity is relatively low, because most people's dental diseases are in the early and middle stages have no obvious itching, many people even if they have dental disease can not be detected in time, but also feel that their teeth are healthy, when buying electric toothbrushes will not take into account their real and fragile oral state, very blind and casual, then everyone is easy to buy inferior electric toothbrushes, and then cause the problem of tooth damage.
Reason 3: Use an electric toothbrush that is too cheap
In order to maintain low prices while not reducing profits, businesses will excessively reduce the production cost of electric toothbrushes, regardless of the quality of electric toothbrushes, only choose the cheapest components, such as plastic bristles with low roundness, coreless motors, etc., the processing technology of electric toothbrushes is also very simple, waterproof is not in place, it does not take long to appear louder, the movement is damp, the vibration frequency is unstable and other problems, and the service life of electric toothbrushes is greatly shortened.
Reason 4: Wrong three types of rotation, vibration sweeping, and sonic type are selected
Electric toothbrushes are divided into rotary type, sweeping and vibration integrated type and sonic type according to the working principle. Rotary type and sweeping integrated type is very typical, the representative model is Oral* and Lai*, the power is too violent, the vibration frequency is as high as 60,000 times or more and the sweeping angle is more than 60 degrees (the most recommended reasonable sweeping range for dentists is 3-9 °), the use of super friction to physically clean, easy to wear teeth, irritate the gums, work noise, more suitable for European and American people with high oral tolerance. Compared with the other two types, the cleaning power of the sonic electric toothbrush is excellent enough to meet everyone's oral cleaning needs, and the brushing experience is more comfortable. Therefore, we try to use the vibration frequency stability and sweeping angle to adjust more scientific professional sonic products.
3. The three major inapplicable groups of electric toothbrushes!
Is it harmful to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush?In addition to the above four reasons that will cause tooth injury problems, if the user's own oral quality is not suitable for electric toothbrushes, but blindly use, there may also be tooth damage reactions such as gum bleeding and toothache. There are three main types of people who are not suitable for electric toothbrushes, let's see if you have yourself.
Children under the age of one. Children at this age generally have not experienced the tooth replacement period, and the gums and teeth are more tender and sensitive, if parents use electric toothbrushes for children too early, it is easy to affect the normal development of children's gums and teeth.
2. People with severe dental disease. People with severe dental disease are generally accompanied by gum abscesses, gum recession, loose teeth and other problems, which are difficult to withstand the high frequency vibration of electric toothbrushes, and blind use of electric toothbrushes may lead to aggravation of dental disease. However, periodontal disease in the early and middle stages is not painful or itchy, and it is very suitable to use an electric toothbrush at this time, which can effectively prevent and improve dental disease.
Elderly people over the age of one. At this age, most of the elderly suffer from oral diseases, and their teeth have begun to loosen and fall out, so if you use an electric toothbrush with a high vibration frequency, it is easy to accelerate the loss of teeth.
4. Six benefits of using a high-quality electric toothbrush!
Is it harmful to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush?Don't be afraid of the dangers of inferior electric toothbrushes, in fact, a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush will not hurt your teeth, but will be more conducive to the health of your teeth and gums.
You must know that the oral condition of Chinese people is generally poor, the dental health rate is less than 1%, and dental disease will only be obvious pain and itching in the advanced stage, so many people feel good about themselves, but in fact, oral health is deteriorating day by day. If you can use an electric toothbrush to clean and care for your mouth in time, you can effectively alleviate and control oral diseases. Because of this, dentists are also in favor of everyone using electric toothbrushes, and a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush can give everyone the following six benefits.
Benefit 1: Electric toothbrushes have strong cleaning power and can improve the prevention of dental diseases
The cleaning power of the electric toothbrush is dozens of times better than that of the manual toothbrush, and it can clean some blind spots that the manual toothbrush can't handle, such as tooth gaps, tooth roots, wisdom teeth and other high-incidence areas of dental disease, comprehensively remove food residues and plaque in the mouth, and effectively prevent and improve dental disease.
Benefit 2: Keep your mouth fresh
Electric toothbrushes can comprehensively remove food residues and plaque in the mouth, avoid odors after they ferment, and maintain long-term fresh breath.
Benefit 3: It is more time-saving and labor-saving to use
An electric toothbrush can clean your teeth in two or three minutes, while a manual toothbrush takes more than 10 minutes to achieve a similar cleaning effect.
Benefit 4: It has the effect of massaging the gums
An electric toothbrush can help you massage your gums and promote the self-recovery of gum tissue, which is very suitable for people who wear braces, which can relieve the pressure on your gums caused by wearing braces for a long time and prevent black triangle problems.
Benefit 5: It has the effect of whitening teeth
An electric toothbrush can gradually brush off the stains deposited on the outer layer of the teeth, such as tea stains, coffee stains, smoke stains, etc., and also has an inhibitory effect on the formation of dental calculus, which can help you whiten your teeth.
Benefit 6: Precise control of brushing intensity
The vibration frequency of high-quality electric toothbrushes is very uniform and stable, which can accurately control the size of brushing strength, while manual toothbrushes often have excessive brushing strength and damage teeth, and too small brushing force is not clean.
After understanding the benefits of electric toothbrushes, we can't buy electric toothbrushes impulsively, and many businesses nowadays advertise their products as having the effect of protecting teeth and gums, but in fact, the rate of tooth damage is very high. Therefore, when making a purchase, we should look at the actual review data, not what the merchant shows us. I found this electric toothbrush cleaning power and dental protection index test results on the oral forum, and I recommend a few high-quality products that can stand up to real reviews.
Among the thousands of brands, FILIX, a veteran brand recognized by the dental circle, is the pioneer in the field of "not hurting teeth" in China, and is the brand with the highest degree of professionalism in this field. It is one of the very few electric toothbrushes with a medical background and is the only brand that has been certified by the European Union, the United States and other countries!The third generation of upgraded new products has been launched, pioneering research and development of eight major performance and tooth-free black technology, oral compatibility increased by 80%, cleaning residue rate is less than 2%, cleaning power is top-notch and reduces damage by 89%, and it is rare to obtain EU certification!With good frequency uniformity, strong power and low attenuation, it is the first brand in the industry to provide orthodontic brush heads, and it is very compatible with people.

In order to "fever performance and not hurt teeth", we have created eight original non-tooth technologies, such as approved vibration frequency technology, innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., and adjusted parameters for more than 100 technologies such as vibration frequency, power, and vibration sweepingEnsure that the deviation value of various performance indicators for more than 6 years 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. In the face of the skyrocketing rate of tooth injury,Huile's professional, rigorous, and high-performance product concept, insisting on practicing internal skills, and treating products as strict medical products research and development have been highly recognized.
In addition, Philips, as an international brand, has a relatively high reputationThe quality is okay after my own use, and the cleaning power is okay, but it is more suitable for people with high oral tolerance.
If you have to buy something cheapI relatively recommend Bayer, Shuke, ** relatively cheap,The basic functional experience can satisfy those who do not have high entry requirements.
In terms of after-sales, Philips does not support trials, and the brush head costs about 200 yuan a year. Huile not only supports unpacking and trial, but also gives away a 5-year brush head for a limited time.
5. How to choose an electric toothbrush?Eight guides are taught exclusively!
Is it harmful to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush?If it is indeed harmful for everyone to use inferior products to brush their teeth, only by using a high-quality electric toothbrush can you avoid damage to your teeth and mouth, so how to choose a professional electric toothbrush?Below I will summarize eight exclusive tips for buying an electric toothbrush and share it with you. Let's learn together!
Guide 1: Buy a product with a long battery life
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a battery life of more than 30 days, if you use an electric toothbrush with a short battery life, the frequency of charging will be very high, not only troublesome, but also the loss of battery life will be relatively fast.
Guide 2: Buy a brand with strong professional and technical capabilities
The highly professional electric toothbrush brand will carry out fine compatibility matching of the electric toothbrush according to the big data of the oral environment of the Chinese people, and repeatedly optimize and adjust more than 100 core parameters of the electric toothbrush, such as the gum and tooth protection experience, the uniform stability of the vibration frequency, and the power intensity range, and the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times lower than that of those Internet celebrities
Guide 3: Fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of rotating sonic sweeping
According to the different working principles, the type of electric toothbrush can be divided into three categories: rotary, sweeping, and sonic typeThe sweeping angle is too large or even more than 60 degrees (the dentist recommends a sweep range of 3-9°).Therefore, these two types of products will over-damage the teeth and gums during cleaning, and this cleaning strength is only suitable for people in Europe and the United States who have a very high oral tolerance. Relatively speaking, the sonic electric toothbrush has a lower tooth damage rate when brushing teeth, the cleaning power and tooth protection will be better, and it is more suitable for the oral environment of Chinese people, and it is also the type of electric toothbrush recommended by dentists.
Guide 4: Choose a good after-sales brand
For example, the seven-day trial service is very convenient, and you can try the electric toothbrush first and then decide whether to stay, which can effectively reduce the cost of trial and error.
Guide 5: It is better to have a sweeping angle between 3-9 degrees
If the sweeping angle of the electric toothbrush is too large, it is easy to hurt the teeth, but the sweeping angle is too small, which will affect the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush.
Guide 6: Examine the quality of the brush head
Factors such as bristle roundness, bristle hardness, bristle planting rate, and brush head size all affect the quality of electric toothbrush brush heads. For example, the hardness of the bristles is a very important parameter, it is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with moderate and soft bristles, if the bristles are very hard, it is easy to wear the teeth when brushing, but the texture of the bristles is too soft and not good, the bristle toughness is insufficient, and the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush will be very poor.
Guide 7: Electric toothbrush compatibility should be good
The oral environment of Chinese people is very complex, so I hope you can choose those high-compatibility electric toothbrushes with a wide range of power strength, rich brush head types and many gears.
Guide 8: Magnetic levitation motors are more worth choosing
The motor is a very important core component of the electric toothbrush, generally there are two types of magnetic levitation motor and coreless motor, high-quality products are mostly equipped with magnetic levitation motor, its internal structure is precise, with stronger performance, stable vibration frequency, can bring you a better brushing experience. However, the coreless motor has many problems such as unstable vibration frequency and force attenuation, high noise, poor brushing experience, and high risk of tooth injury, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose!
Is it harmful to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush?I believe that through today's sharing, everyone has a clear understanding of this issue. Unprofessional electric toothbrushes are the main culprit of tooth damage, so we must not only learn more about electric toothbrushes, but also understand the various bad trends in the electric toothbrush market, and master the correct purchase skills to avoid the trap of falling unprofessional electric toothbrushes, and choose high-quality electric toothbrushes with strong cleaning power and high tooth protection, which can help improve oral health.
