Electric toothbrushes have been favored by the public as an efficient dental cleaning tool, but some friends blindly follow the trend and buy electric toothbrushes from Internet celebrities, not only do not have the effect of caring for the mouth, but there are frequent gum bleeding, toothache, and even aggravated tooth sensitivity. Can you use an electric toothbrush for sensitive teeth?Today, the oral hygienist will talk about this problem for you and share the purchase strategy of electric toothbrushes to help you choose the right electric toothbrush for you.
The picture above is an electric toothbrush I have used.
1. Can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?
Can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?Whether people with sensitive teeth can use an electric toothbrush depends on the severity of the condition. Mild to moderate tooth sensitivity only responds to hot and cold stimuli, and normal tooth friction is not abnormal, so patients with tooth sensitivity can use an electric toothbrush. Professional dentists also recommend using an electric toothbrush for people with mild to moderate tooth sensitivityIt can clean your teeth more thoroughly, effectively remove plaque, and improve tooth sensitivity!
If the symptoms of tooth sensitivity are severe and the tooth pain is severe, it is not recommended to blindly use an electric toothbrush to brush your teeth at this time. You should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid aggravation of tooth sensitivity due to untimely use of electric toothbrushes.
Second, warn against the three major drawbacks of inferior electric toothbrushes!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?Although people with mild to moderate tooth sensitivity can use electric toothbrushes, it does not mean that all electric toothbrushes are safe. More than ninety percent of people in China suffer from oral diseases, the oral tolerance of Chinese people is very low, and dental disease in the early and middle stages is not itchy and painful, it is difficult for people to feel, so many people have dental disease but do not know it, and are still blindly buying electric toothbrushes at will, and the proportion of inferior electric toothbrushes on the market is more, at this time, it is easy to buy inferior electric toothbrushes, and there are disadvantages of hurting teeth.
What are the disadvantages of inferior electric toothbrushes?There are three main points:
Disadvantage 1: Cause bleeding gums and toothache
If you use an electric toothbrush with too large a sweeping angle and too strong vibration frequency, the gums will be easily scratched and the tooth enamel will be overworn, and it is easy to have problems such as tooth soreness and frequent bleeding gums.
Disadvantage 2: Aggravate the underlying dental disease
Inferior electric toothbrushes are easy to irritate diseased areas in the mouth, causing the user's pre-existing oral problems to worsen, such as worsening into more severe periodontitis.
Disadvantage 3: Cause chronic tooth injury
Long-term use of unprofessional electric toothbrushes may also cause chronic tooth problems, this kind of damage is relatively hidden, at first it is difficult for users to detect, but after a period of development, users are likely to have serious oral health problems such as gum recession and loose teeth, and these injuries are irreversible!
3. Analysis and summary of the four major causes of tooth injury of inferior electric toothbrushes!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?Dentists have told us that mild to moderate tooth sensitivity can use electric toothbrushes, but everyone should know the dangers of inferior electric toothbrushes and what are the root causes. In order to figure out this problem, I found the statistical chart of the causes of tooth injury with electric toothbrushes published by professional dental forums, according to the data in the figure, it can be found that using inferior electric toothbrushes will hurt teeth mainly because of the following four reasons.
Reason 1: Insufficient understanding of the difference between sweeping, rotating, and sonic types
Among the three types of sweeping, rotating, and sonic type, sweeping and rotating type belong to the type of electric toothbrush with excessive vibration frequency and sweeping angle, and the representative brands are Lai*, Oral*, etc., the cleaning power is OK but the user's oral tolerance is very high, usually with a vibration frequency of more than 60,000 minutesThe sweeping angle can even reach 60 degrees (a reasonable sweeping interval is 3-9° for dentists).Far beyond the real plaque cleaning needs, the teeth and gums are difficult to load, and long-term use is very easy to chronically wear out the enamel and damage the teeth!For the majority of Chinese people, dentists generally recommend that the sonic type is preferred, compared with the rotary type, sweeping type, the sonic electric toothbrush can take into account both the cleaning power and the tooth protection power, the representative brands are the first *, * Pu and so on.
Reason 2: Use the products of Internet celebrities
Some people like to follow the trend to buy Internet celebrity brands and cross-border big-name products, but this kind of electric toothbrush brand is basically the last one or two years into the industry, there is no experience in oral care, and there is a lack of professional and technical strength to optimize and adjust the core parameters of electric toothbrushes such as crowd compatibility matching, power intensity range, swing angle, etc., and merchants rely on a large number of marketing and publicity to sell goods, and the product has a very high rate of tooth injury.
Reason 3: Use an electric toothbrush that is too cheap
Many people like to buy cheap electric toothbrushes, thinking that their cost performance will be higher, but in fact, this kind of electric toothbrush is not cost-effective, but low production cost, the selection of materials for electric toothbrushes are very inferior, such as coreless motors, inferior plastic brush filaments, etc. are commonly used in low-cost electric toothbrushes, the product quality is very poor, and there are often problems such as high and low vibration frequency and tooth knocking, which is easy to bring damage to everyone's gums and teeth.
Reason 4: I feel that my oral health is indiscriminately selected as an electric toothbrush
The oral health of Chinese people is not very poor, but because there is no obvious itching sensation in the early and middle stages of dental disease, many people can not detect it in time even if there is oral disease, and they also feel that their oral health is healthy.
Fourth, you must learn eight electric toothbrush purchase strategies!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?Although people with sensitive teeth can use electric toothbrushes, their oral tolerance is lower, and they must use professional electric toothbrushes that do not hurt their teeth, otherwise it is easy to aggravate oral diseases. In order to help you choose the right electric toothbrush for yourself, I have summarized eight electric toothbrush purchase strategies for your reference:
Strategy 1: The sweeping angle is better at 3-9 degrees
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle between 3-9 degrees, if the sweeping angle of the electric toothbrush you use is too large, it is easy to wear your teeth, and the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle too small will be greatly affected, so it is not recommended for you to use it.
Strategy 2: Buy a brand with a high degree of professionalism
Professional brands will adjust and optimize the vibration frequency balance, crowd compatibility matching, and the number of grinding cores of the bristles that affect the core performance of the electric toothbrush. However, cross-border brands and Internet celebrity brands have no oral care experience and professional technology precipitation, and are more keen on hype marketing, unable to optimize and adjust the core parameters of electric toothbrushes, and electric toothbrushes are difficult to adapt to the complex and changeable oral environment of Chinese people, and the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times higher than that of professional electric toothbrush brands
Strategy 3: Magnetic levitation motor is preferred
Magnetic levitation motor and coreless motor are the two types of motors of mainstream electric toothbrushes, and it is best to choose products equipped with magnetic levitation motors, because the structural design of this kind of motor is more scientific and reasonable, with better performance, low power attenuation, low working noise, and can bring you a better brushing experience, while the vibration frequency of the coreless motor is not very stable, and the risk of tooth injury is high, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose.
Strategy 4: Distinguish between the three types of electric toothbrushes: rotating, sonic and sweeping
Electric toothbrushes can be divided into three categories: rotary, sweeping, and sonic according to the different working principlesThe sweeping angle is too large to exceed 60° (the dentist recommends that the sweeping range should not exceed 9°).It can over-damage the teeth and gums, and this cleaning strength is only suitable for some European and American people who have a high oral tolerance. Relatively speaking, the sonic electric toothbrush has a lower tooth damage rate when brushing teeth, and the cleaning power and tooth protection will be better, which is more suitable for the oral environment of Chinese people, and it is also the most recommended electric toothbrush category for dentists. However, we should pay attention to the priority of choosing a style with better professional strength, better training, good cleaning power and no tooth damage.
Strategy 5: Don't ignore after-sales service
It's best to choose brands that can be returned and replaced for 7 days without any reason, and the brush head is cheaper!For example, the 7-day trial service is a very practical service, consumers can try the electric toothbrush first and then decide whether to stay, feel that it is not easy to use, and can return and exchange it in time, without too much financial burden.
Strategy 6: Buy an electric toothbrush with a brush head
Factors such as hair planting rate, wrapping, roundness and other factors will affect the quality of the brush head of the electric toothbrush, here is an example of roundness, it is best to choose a product with a roundness of more than 80% bristles, if the roundness of the bristles is too low, it means that the top of the bristles is very rough and sharp, and it is easy to hurt teeth.
Strategy 7: Choose a style with a long battery life
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a battery life of more than 30 days, if the product has a short battery life, we have to charge the electric toothbrush frequently, which is more troublesome to use, and the aging of the battery will be relatively fast, which will affect the service life of the electric toothbrush!
Strategy 8: Buy an electric toothbrush with good compatibility
It is recommended that you use high-compatibility products with a wide frequency span, many gears, and a rich variety of brush heads, such as the frequency span of electric toothbrushes, which need to have a certain width.
When you buy an electric toothbrush, you also need to be careful of the false propaganda of electric toothbrush merchants, who will advertise tooth-damaging products as electric toothbrushes for gum and tooth protection, and it is easy for everyone to hurt their teeth if they are gullible and credulous. Therefore, before purchasing, it is recommended that you understand the core parameter data of some mainstream electric toothbrushes to distinguish whose products are really gum and tooth protection

5. Six benefits of using an electric toothbrush!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?As already explained above, it can be used by people with mild tooth sensitivity. So what are the benefits of using an electric toothbrush for your teeth?At present, the dental health rate of Chinese people is less than 1% (as shown in the figure below), the oral environment is becoming more and more complex, and oral care is more difficult, so dentists recommend that you use electric toothbrushes, which can effectively prevent and improve dental diseases and bring the following six benefits to everyone.
Benefit 1: Good cleaning ability, effective prevention and improvement of dental disease
The cleaning power of the electric toothbrush is far greater than that of the manual toothbrush, which can brush the high-incidence areas such as the tooth gaps, gingival sulcus, and the back of the teeth that are difficult to clean with the manual toothbrush, and comprehensively remove the plaque in the mouth, which can prevent and improve dental disease.
Benefit 2: Can massage the soft tissues of the gums
An electric toothbrush can also massage the gums while cleaning the teeth, which can promote blood circulation inside the soft tissues of the gums, help friends who wear braces relieve the pressure on the gums, and effectively prevent gum recession.
Benefit 3: Precise control of brushing intensity
Manual toothbrushes require users to subjectively control the brushing intensity, and the position of a good brush such as the tooth surface is often over-cleaned, while the gingival sulcus, wisdom teeth and other positions are difficult to use precise force, which is likely to leave a cleaning dead end, while the electric toothbrush has a stable vibration frequency and can accurately operate the brushing strength to avoid the situation that the force hurts the teeth or the force is not clean.
Benefit 4: Better removal of bad breath odor
Manual toothbrushes have more cleaning dead ends, and plaque and food residues that are not cleaned in place are often fermented in the mouth, which is easy to produce peculiar smells, which has an impact on the freshness of breath, while electric toothbrushes have a wide range of cleaning, and there are no blind spots, which can avoid bad breath and help everyone keep their breath fresh.
Benefit 5: Save time and effort
Manual toothbrush cleaning efficiency is low, at least more than 10 minutes to fully clean the mouth, but if you use an electric toothbrush, two or three minutes can be done, very time-saving and labor-saving, it is very necessary to use it for office workers and students with a tight pace of life.
Benefit 6: Makes teeth whiter
For stubborn stains such as tea stains, cigarette stains, and coffee stains, manual toothbrushes basically do nothing, while electric toothbrushes can clean them, slow down the formation of dental calculus, and help everyone whiten their teeth.
Can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?This is the end of the sharing on this issue, and finally I would like to remind you that people with sensitive teeth and ordinary people must use high-quality electric toothbrushes, because once you choose an inferior electric toothbrush that is not standardized and unprofessional, it will bring very serious drawbacks to tooth injury, so you must keep your eyes open when buying products, do not blindly follow the trend of Internet celebrity brands, cross-border brands of electric toothbrushes, to buy strong cleaning power, Professional products with high degree of dental protection, only in this way can we completely remove plaque in the blind area of the dead corner of the mouth, improve the oral environment, and prevent dental disease!
