However, with the rapid development of electric toothbrushes, negative cases such as bleeding, toothache, and aggravated dental disease with electric toothbrushes have also appeared frequently. Is there any harm in electric toothbrushes?As a personal care evaluator, today I will take this question as a guide to take you to a comprehensive understanding of electric toothbrushes and help you avoid the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes.
The picture above is an electric toothbrush product that I bought myself).
1. The three major hazards of inferior electric toothbrushes are all revealed!
Are electric toothbrushes harmful?There are a lot of low-quality electric toothbrushes on the market, and they are very easy to cause damage to your teeth. The oral health status of Chinese people is generally not very good, data show that more than 90% of adults have oral diseases, but dental disease in the early and middle stage and there is no obvious sense of abnormality, resulting in many people suffering from dental disease but not self-awareness, but also optimistic that their teeth are healthy, in such an oral environment, if you buy those inferior products that lack professional and technical strength, the harm is inevitable.
The hazards of unprofessional electric toothbrushes are mainly as follows:
Hazard 1The bristles of unprofessional electric toothbrushes are relatively sharp and rough, and the vibration frequency is also high and low, which is very harmful to the gums and teeth when used, and is easy to cause problems such as tooth soreness and frequent gum bleeding.
Hazard 2Most people in our country suffer from basic dental diseases such as gingivitis, tooth sensitivity, and tooth decay, and in such an oral environment, if you brush your teeth with an inferior electric toothbrush, dental disease may worsen.
Hazard 3There is also the problem of chronic tooth damage when using an inferior electric toothbrush, which is a highly insidious injury that may take months or years for users to realize that serious oral health problems such as receding gums and loose teeth may have occurred.
2. Interpret the four main reasons why inferior electric toothbrushes hurt teeth
Are electric toothbrushes harmful?Through the previous content, we know that the main harm is tooth damage. Since low-quality electric toothbrushes are harmful, how can we avoid them?This requires us to find out the cause of its tooth damage and come up with a way to deal with it. I will use the following distribution chart of the proportion of causes of tooth injury with electric toothbrushes compiled by authoritative statistical agencies to find out the four most common causes of tooth injury:
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: 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: Use influencer products
Many well-known Internet celebrity brands and cross-border big-name electric toothbrushes have only entered the industry in the past two years, they do not have enough rich oral care experience, and they lack professional and technical strength to optimize the core parameters of electric toothbrushes such as tuning power intensity, crowd compatibility matching, and vibration sweeping angle.
Causes: Chinese people's teeth have low tolerance
Chinese people generally have oral diseases, low oral tolerance, 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 dental disease, and they are optimistic that their oral health is not considered when buying an electric toothbrush, and the choice is too casual, so everyone is easy to buy an electric toothbrush that is not suitable for them, which will lead to the problem of tooth injury.
3. Summary of the six benefits of high-quality electric toothbrushes!
Are electric toothbrushes harmful?Although inferior electric toothbrushes will hurt teeth, but a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush is very useful in oral care, more than 90% of people in China have oral problems, traditional dental cleaning tools do not meet the current cleaning needs of Chinese people, Chinese people need to replace more efficient oral care tools, dentists recommend that everyone use electric toothbrushes, the reason is that electric toothbrushes have the following benefits:
Benefit 1: Good cleaning power, effective prevention and improvement of dental disease
The cleaning power of electric toothbrushes is far better than that of manual toothbrushes, such as tooth decay holes, back teeth, tooth gaps and other high-incidence areas of dental disease, which are often not cleaned by manual toothbrushes alone, while electric toothbrushes can clean in place, comprehensively remove plaque in the mouth, so as to prevent and improve dental disease.
Benefits:: It has the effect of massaging the gums
The electric toothbrush can also play a role in massaging the gums while cleaning the teeth, helping to accelerate the blood circulation and metabolism in the soft tissues of the gums, and promoting the recovery of the gum tissue.
Benefits:: The control of the cleaning force is relatively accurate
Manual toothbrushes require the user to subjectively control the brushing force, which is difficult to use precise force, and it is easy to have excessive cleaning with large force or unclean brush. The vibration frequency of the electric toothbrush is uniform and stable, which can accurately operate the brushing force and avoid the situation that the force hurts the teeth or the brush is not clean.
Benefits:: It is more time-saving and labor-saving to use
It takes at least ten minutes for a manual toothbrush to brush your teeth, while an electric toothbrush can be cleaned in two or three minutes, which is very time-saving and labor-saving, and is more suitable for office workers and students with a fast pace of life.
Benefits:: Keep your breath fresh
If there is uncleaned plaque and food residue accumulated in the mouth, there will be odor after fermentation, while the electric toothbrush has a wide cleaning range and no blind spots, which can better keep the breath fresh.
Benefits:: Whiten teeth
Some stubborn stains deposited on the outer layer of teeth, such as tea stains, cigarette stains, coffee stains, etc., are difficult to clean with a manual toothbrush, while an electric toothbrush can gradually clean in place, and can also help you inhibit the formation of dental calculus and help you whiten your teeth.
Although the electric toothbrush is easy to use, we should also be careful of the false propaganda of the merchants, many merchants disguise the tooth-damaged electric toothbrush as a tooth and gum protection product through various marketing promotions, resulting in many people being injured teeth. In order to help you buy an electric toothbrush that really doesn't hurt your teeth, I specially found the measured data of electric toothbrushes released by the authoritative dental forum for you to analyze:
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.
Fourth, eight purchase tips make it easy for you to avoid harm
Are electric toothbrushes harmful?We now have a thorough understanding of the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes, and we also know that improper product selection is the main cause of tooth damage, so how to avoid the harm is very clear, that is, to buy professional and high-quality products. So how exactly should you buy?Here are eight tips to keep in mind.
TricksMagnetic levitation motors are highly recommended
The motor is the core component of the electric toothbrush, there are generally two kinds, namely the magnetic levitation motor and the coreless motor, the coreless motor is mostly seen in low-priced products, it works with high noise, unstable vibration frequency, and the risk of tooth injury is relatively high, so it is not recommended for everyone to use. High-quality products are generally equipped with magnetic levitation motors, which have good running stability, strong performance and low noise, which can bring you a better brushing experience.
TricksBuy a professional electric toothbrush brand
Professional electric toothbrush brands will repeatedly adjust and optimize more than 100 core parameters of electric toothbrushes, such as vibration frequency range, crowd compatibility matching, gum and tooth protection experience, and vibration scanning angle, so that the product perfectly adapts to the oral environment of Chinese people, and the tooth injury rate is 300% lower than that of those unprofessional Internet celebrities.
TricksAfter-sales service should be good
It is best to buy a brand that can be tried for 7 days and has a low cost of replacing the brush head, like the 7-day trial service is very easy to use, so that everyone can try the advantages and disadvantages of the electric toothbrush first and then decide whether to stay, and if it is not easy to use, it can also be returned and exchanged in time, and the cost of trial and error can be greatly reduced.
TricksRejection of low-priced products
In order to obtain profit margins, low-cost products continue to compress costs, poor workmanship materials, low roundness of bristles, the use of cheap coreless motors, poor frequency stability, can not clean the oral cavity at all, and will also cause tooth damage, such as tooth bleeding, tooth sensitivity, etc. The materials are inexpensive, not to mention the technical adjustment of the performance stability of the electric toothbrush, the use experience will be greatly reduced.
TricksThe sweep angle is 3It is more suitable between degrees
The sweeping angle of the electric toothbrush is between 3 and 9 degrees is more suitable, if the sweeping angle is too large, it is easy to hurt the teeth, but the electric toothbrush with the sweeping angle is too small is not recommended for everyone, and their cleaning performance will be poor.
TricksBuy an electric toothbrush with a good brush head
There are many factors that affect the quality of the brush head of an electric toothbrush, such as roundness, bristle hardness, fretting rate, etc. Among them, the roundness of the bristles is very important, the tip of the bristles with low roundness is rough and sharp, and it is easy to scratch the gums and wear the teeth, so you should use an electric toothbrush with a roundness of more than 80%!
TricksBuy products with high compatibility
The oral environment of Chinese people is very complex, and everyone needs to use an electric toothbrush with good compatibility, and it is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a variety of brush heads to choose from, so that you can replace the brush head to deal with more situations. In addition, the most important thing is that the vibration frequency range of the electric toothbrush is large and wide enough, so that it can be more adaptable in the face of different groups of people and dynamic oral care needs!
TricksBuy an electric toothbrush that lasts a long time
It is best to choose an electric toothbrush with a battery life of more than 30 days, which can save a lot of trouble in charging the electric toothbrush, and can also prevent the accelerated aging of the battery caused by repeated battery charging and discharging.
The above is all the content to talk to you about whether electric toothbrushes are harmful. Unprofessional Internet celebrity big-name products do have the harm of tooth damage, and high-quality electric toothbrushes, as hot oral cleaning tools in the market, can comprehensively clean the mouth, prevent and improve dental disease, and are very good oral care items, so it is recommended that you use them as soon as possible.
