For a long time, Chinese people have a relatively lack of awareness of electric toothbrushes, and everyone is not very familiar with its benefits, not to mention the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes. Because of this, many people fail to choose an electric toothbrush correctly, and are often endangered by unprofessional products. So what are the dangers of inferior electric toothbrushes?As a personal care product evaluator, I will give you the relevant knowledge of electric toothbrushes in response to this problem today, and at the same time share the purchase experience of electric toothbrushes, hoping to help you avoid unnecessary injuries.
Pictured above are some of the electric toothbrushes I recently reviewed).
1. Disclosure for the first timeInferior qualityThe top three hazards of electric toothbrushes
Before popularizing the dangers of inferior electric toothbrushes, let's first understand the oral conditions of the current Chinese people. It is important to know that the oral health foundation of Chinese people is poor, the prevalence of dental disease is more than 90%, and the tolerance of the oral cavity is very low. However, because most dental diseases are painless and itchy, it is difficult to be detected in time, so many people are in a state of illness without knowing it, and they will not take into account their oral environment when choosing an electric toothbrush
The hazards of inferior electric toothbrushes are mainly as follows:
Hazard 1The bristles of low-quality electric toothbrushes are very rough, and the vibration frequency fluctuates between high and low, which is not only easy to use gums, but also excessively wears out tooth enamel, causing toothache, frequent gum bleeding, tooth sensitivity and other problems.
Hazard 2If you brush your teeth with an unprofessional electric toothbrush on the basis of dental disease, it may overstimulate the diseased position in the mouth and accelerate the development of dental disease.
Hazard 3Long-term use of unprofessional electric toothbrushes will also cause chronic tooth problems, this injury has a strong concealment, users are difficult to detect that they have been injured teeth at first, but after a few months or even years, users will have gum recession, loose teeth and other irreparable oral problems!
2. Analysis of the four major reasonsInferior qualityThe source of the harm of electric toothbrushes
What are the hazards of electric toothbrushes?We now know the specific dangers of inferior electric toothbrushes. But normally, an electric toothbrush should be beneficial to everyone's oral health, and it should not be harmful, why does it hurt your teeth?You can take a look at the following authoritative ** statistical chart of the causes of tooth injury to electric toothbrushes, which shows the various reasons why inferior electric toothbrushes hurt teeth, in order to facilitate everyone's understanding, I will attribute the main reasons for tooth damage to inferior electric toothbrushes to the following four points:
Causes: Buy an electric toothbrush with low compatibility
The oral cavity has always been in the midst of change, and the Chinese people also suffer from mild or severe dental disease, the oral environment is complex and changeable, so the Chinese people need to use a compatible electric toothbrush, if the compatibility of the electric toothbrush used by everyone is very low, there are problems such as narrow frequency span, small number of gears, single brush head type, etc., and the oral characteristics of the Chinese people are difficult to adapt, and everyone is likely to have problems such as gum bleeding and toothache after use.
Causes: The oral tolerance of Chinese people is generally poor
Chinese dental disease is common, and the oral tolerance is not very good, because dental disease is generally not painful and itchy in the early and middle stages, so many people can not detect it in time even if they have dental disease, and they are optimistic that their oral health is not considered when buying an electric toothbrush.
Causes: Choose a very cheap product
The price range of the electric toothbrush below 300 is the hardest hit area that causes tooth problems, in order to ensure that the profit will not be reduced at the same time, the business will excessively compress the production cost of the electric toothbrush, and choose the cheapest in the selection of materials, such as coreless motors, unrounded bristles, etc., the processing technology is also relatively simple, the waterproof is not in place, it will not take long to appear that the movement is damp, the noise becomes larger, the vibration frequency is unstable and other problems, and the service life of the electric toothbrush is greatly shortened.
Causes: Use an electric toothbrush from a big influencer
Many well-known Internet celebrity brands and cross-border big-name electric toothbrushes have only entered the industry in the past two years, they have little experience in oral care, and they also lack professional and technical strength to optimize the core parameters of electric toothbrushes such as tuning power intensity, crowd compatibility matching, and sweeping angle.
3. Share eight strategies for buying electric toothbrushes to stay away from harm
In the previous analysis of the hazards of inferior electric toothbrushes and the causes of tooth injury, we can conclude that improper product selection is the main reason for inferior electric toothbrushes to hurt teeth, so how to choose electric toothbrushes is very important, it plays a decisive role in whether electric toothbrushes are harmful!Therefore, you must not be negligent when buying an electric toothbrush. So how to buy a high-quality electric toothbrush?Here is a summary of the eight strategies in the purchase, you may wish to make each reference.
Raiders, buy a brand with a high degree of professionalism
Professional electric toothbrush brands will do fine compatibility matching according to the big data of the oral environment of the Chinese people, and continuously improve and optimize the core parameters of electric toothbrushes such as gum and tooth protection experience, uniform frequency stability, and power intensity range, and the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times lower than that of unprofessional Internet celebrities
RaidersThe oscillating angle is best between 3-9 degrees
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle between 3-9 degrees, if the sweeping angle is too large, it is easy to hurt your teeth, but it is not recommended to use an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle that is too small, and the cleaning power of the product is easy to be pulled down.
RaidersBuy an electric toothbrush with good compatibility
The oral cavity is changing all the time, and the oral state of Chinese people is still very complex, so it is best to use high-compatibility products with a wide range of power strength, rich brush head types, and a large number of gears, such as the power strength range, which must have a certain width to provide users with more suitable teeth cleaning strength.
RaidersPay attention to the quality of the brush head
Factors such as bristle hardness, wrapping, hair planting rate, and brush head size will all affect the quality of the brush head. Here I will take the hardness of the bristles as an example, Chinese people are suitable for using toothbrushes with moderate and soft bristles, if the bristles are very hard, it is easy to wear teeth when used, but the texture of the bristles is too soft and not good, the toughness is insufficient, and the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush will be very poor.
Raiders、Buy battery life at 3days above the product
If you use an electric toothbrush with a battery life of too short, we have to charge the electric toothbrush frequently, not to mention the trouble, it will also accelerate the loss of battery life and affect the service life of the electric toothbrush.
RaidersSonic electric toothbrushes are preferred
Mainstream electric toothbrushes can be divided into two categories according to the different working principles, namely sonic electric toothbrushes and rotary electric toothbrushes, Chinese people should choose sonic electric toothbrushes, its cleaning power is enough to meet everyone's oral care needs, and the tooth protection power is higher, while the rotary electric toothbrush has good cleaning power, but it is easy to hurt teeth, and it is not suitable for the oral environment of Chinese people.
Raiders, magnetic levitation motor is more worthy of choice
The motor is the core component of the electric toothbrush, mainly there are two types of magnetic levitation motor and coreless motor, high-quality electric toothbrush will generally be equipped with magnetic levitation motor, this motor has strong performance, scientific and precise internal structure, stable vibration frequency, low noise and longer service life. However, coreless motors often have problems such as unstable vibration frequency and force attenuation, poor brushing experience, and high risk of tooth injury, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose!
Raiders, buy after-sales service conscience brand
It is recommended that you choose a brand that supports a seven-day trial, and then judge whether to stay after trying to use the electric toothbrush yourself, if you feel that the electric toothbrush is not easy to use, you can also return and exchange it, which can effectively reduce the cost of trial and error, and the replacement cost of the brush head should also be considered, the brush head should be replaced at least four times a year, and if the brush head replacement is very expensive, the follow-up cost will be relatively large.
If you have mastered these eight purchase strategies, you will basically not buy products with poor professionalism. However, in order to attract consumers, there are still many businesses on the market that will advertise their electric toothbrushes under the banner of gum and tooth protection, but in fact, the tooth injury rate of the product is frighteningly high, so everyone must pay special attention when choosing an electric toothbrush. To this end, I specially asked the authority for the test data of electric toothbrush cleaning index and dental protection index for your reference.
Among the many brands that I use myself,The professional old brand Huile is recognized as the originator of the field of "not hurting teeth", and it is also the brand with the highest degree of professionalism!It is one of the very few electric toothbrushes with a medical background and original and rigorous medical research and development standards, and the only brand that has been certified by the European Union, the United States and other countriesAs the only brand in China that specializes in "super performance but does not hurt teeth".It has launched the third generation of upgraded new products, pioneering research and development of eight major properties and toothless black technology, top-notch cleaning power and 89% reduction of damage, and rare EU certification!The power is very strong, but the attenuation is very low, and the vibration frequency stability is extremely high!It is the first brand in the industry to provide orthodontic brush heads, and the dental compatibility of complex people in China is great!The reason why we can achieve super comprehensive performance is to focus!Dead professional!There are no redundant functions, no large number of models, just a product for several years, iteratively upgraded more than 20 versions!Optimized more than 300 details!After 6 years of anti-attenuation testing, it has achieved 6 years of comprehensive performance, durability, tooth and gum damage rate certification, and the non-toxic and corrosion resistance of the bristles has been improved by 983%, safer and non-toxic!
They have many years of experience in oral care, and have created eight original performance and non-tooth black technology, such as approved vibration frequency technology, innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., for more than 100 technical tuning and optimization of motors, vibration frequency, etc., to achieve a deviation value of performance of more than 6 years is not higher than 01%！Huile, which I learned about in professional dental magazines, is famous for its high rate of tooth damage that claims to be 300% technical quality against international brands. At a time when the industry is seriously injured and chaotic, and all kinds of beauty and low prices are fighting, Huile's professional, rigorous and safe characteristics have been highly recognized. Almost never advertised, but was recommended by many dentists, and offline sales skyrocketed and often sold out. And many celebrities use their homes because of the need for dental care, and dentists are recognized as very protective of teeth!
In addition, the cost performance of Bayer, Shuke, and Libode is also OKThe basic configuration parameters and functions are fairly passable. There are a lot of usmile ads in the beauty model, and the design is really okay.
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.
4. Why should I use an electric toothbrush?A summary of the six benefits
Don't just see the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes, in fact, a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush is not only harmless, but also has great benefits for the user's oral health. The oral health status of Chinese people is already precarious, the dental health rate is only less than 1%, and it is difficult for manual toothbrushes to save everyone's oral health.
There are six main benefits of using an electric toothbrush:
Benefit 1: Very strong cleaning power, can prevent and improve dental disease
The cleaning performance of the electric toothbrush is dozens of times better than that of the manual toothbrush, and it can clean the blind spots and dead corners that are difficult to clean with the manual toothbrush, such as the gap between the teeth, the back of the teeth, the gingival sulcus, wisdom teeth and other high-incidence areas of dental disease, and thoroughly brush the plaque and food debris in the mouth, helping everyone prevent and improve dental disease.
Benefits:: More precise control over brushing force
Manual toothbrush is the user's subjective control of the brushing strength and angle, in the gingival sulcus, wisdom teeth such as the more remote position is difficult to force, easy to have a brush is not clean, and the back of the tooth such a good brush position may be over-cleaned, while the electric toothbrush has a stable and uniform vibration frequency, the strength is also accurate and controllable, can help everyone to clean the teeth comprehensively, to avoid too much force to hurt the teeth, the force of the brush is not clean.
Benefits:: Particularly time-saving and labor-saving
The cleaning efficiency of manual toothbrushes is not high, and everyone needs to brush their teeth for more than 10 minutes to thoroughly clean their teeth in place, while electric toothbrushes generally only take two or three minutes, which is very time-saving and labor-saving, and the cleaning effect is better.
Benefits:: More suitable for orthodontic people
Electric toothbrushes can also help you massage your gums and promote blood circulation in the soft tissues of your gums, which is a blessing for orthodontic people, which can effectively relieve the pressure on your gum tissue due to wearing braces for a long time and prevent black triangle problems.
Benefits:: I can freshen my breath
Electric toothbrushes do not clean dead corners, and can thoroughly remove food debris and plaque to avoid odors. However, manual toothbrushes are more blind to cleaning, and unclean food residues and plaque remain in the blind area, which will produce peculiar smells after fermentation, and it is difficult to keep the breath fresh.
Benefits:: Can whiten teeth
Brushing with an electric toothbrush can gradually clean stubborn stains such as coffee stains, tea stains, and cigarette stains accumulated on the surface area of the teeth, so that the formation of dental calculus will be slowed down, and it has the effect of whitening teeth.
That's all for today's popular science. We not only talked about the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes, but also on the basis of analyzing the causes of their harms, we gave the correct way to buy electric toothbrushes and strategies.
