Gingivitis is a common oral disease, many gingivitis patients want to use electric toothbrushes to help themselves improve their oral condition, but due to the large number of cases of electric toothbrushes hurting teeth, some people are worried that the use of electric toothbrushes will harm oral health and aggravate gingivitis problems. Can you use an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?As a dental science blogger, today I will answer this question for you from a professional point of view, and take you to understand the benefits of electric toothbrushes and help you fully understand electric toothbrushes!
The pictures below are all electric toothbrush products that I have used in my evaluation.
1. Can you use an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?
Gingivitis is a disease that occurs in the gum tissue without invading other periodontal tissues, the most common of which is chronic gingivitis. The clinical manifestations are bleeding, redness, swelling, and swelling of the gums, which can invade hard bone tissue and cause periodontitis if they continue to develop. Gingivitis is the first sign of periodontal disease and periodontitis, and periodontitis is also the main cause of tooth loss, so it must be prevented early. Can you use an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?
A professional dentist considers mild to moderate gingivitis to be treated with an electric toothbrush. At this stage, gingivitis is not painful and itchy, but the gum color is red, and it is easy to bleed gums, so you can use a high-quality electric toothbrush to brush your teeth to remove plaque, scale, and food residues more comprehensively and effectively, help you keep your mouth clean and hygienic, and effectively alleviate gingivitis problems.
When the symptoms of gingivitis are severe, it is not recommended to use an electric toothbrush. At this time, the teeth and gums already have obvious pain, and the gums will flow pus, and the patient's oral tolerance is very low, and it is difficult to accept the high-frequency vibration of the electric toothbrush.
Second, the three major *** secrets of inferior electric toothbrushes!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?Patients with mild to moderate gingivitis can use electric toothbrushes, but everyone should be wary of inferior electric toothbrushes that hurt their teeth*** Because almost all Chinese people have dental diseases, and more authoritative institutions give data showing that the oral prevalence rate of Chinese people exceeds 90% (as shown in the figure below), and the vast majority of dental diseases are not painful or itchy in the early and middle stages, many people mistakenly think that their oral health is very low, in fact, the tooth tolerance is very low, and it is easy to hurt teeth if you use inferior electric toothbrushes.
The inferior electric toothbrush that needs everyone to be careful is as follows:
The bristles of unprofessional electric toothbrushes are sharp and rough, and the vibration frequency is also high and low, which is easy to irritate the gums and wear the teeth, which can cause toothache and gum bleeding.
Chinese dental disease is very common, if you use an inferior electric toothbrush to brush your teeth on the basis of dental disease, the original oral disease is easy to accelerate the deterioration.
Long-term use of inferior electric toothbrushes may also cause chronic tooth problems, which are relatively hidden, and it is often more than half a year after the user notices it, but at this time it is likely that irreparable oral problems such as gum recession and loose teeth have appeared.
3. Why does an electric toothbrush hurt my teeth?4 reasons explained in detail!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?Obviously, dentists recommend that patients with mild to moderate gingivitis use electric toothbrushes, so why are there *** after use?In order to ** the real reason why the inferior electric toothbrush hurts the teeth, I found the statistical chart of the causes of the tooth injury of the electric toothbrush from the authoritative oral forum, and after a detailed analysis, I found that the inferior electric toothbrush hurts the teeth mainly because of 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: Oral tolerance is relatively low
Chinese people generally have oral diseases, and the tolerance of the oral cavity is relatively low, but because most people's oral foundation is in the early and middle stages, the itching sensation is not obvious, many people can not detect it in time even if they have dental disease, and they also feel that their teeth are healthy.
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 without rounding treatment, coreless motors, etc., the processing technology of the product is also very simple, waterproof is poor, it will not take long for the movement to be damp, the noise will become larger, the vibration frequency is unstable and other problems, and the service life of the product will be 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, sonic products have strong enough cleaning power to meet everyone's cleaning needs and can bring you a more comfortable brushing experience. Therefore, we try to use the vibration frequency stability and sweeping angle to adjust more scientific professional sonic products.
Fourth, how to buy an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?Teach you eight strategies!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?The oral environment of gingivitis patients is more fragile, and they need to use professional and high-quality electric toothbrushes to achieve the effect of caring for the oral cavity, but most of the electric toothbrushes on the market are inferior products, so how to choose a high-quality electric toothbrush?In order to make the purchase process easier, I have summarized eight electric toothbrush purchase strategies for you.
Strategy 1: Buy products with long battery life
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a battery life of more than 30 days, if you choose an electric toothbrush with a short battery life, the frequency of charging will be very high, and it will not only feel very troublesome to use, but also the loss of battery life will be very fast.
Strategy 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 is willing to spend time and energy to repeatedly optimize and adjust the core parameters of the electric toothbrush such as the uniform stability of the vibration frequency, the gum and tooth protection experience, and the power intensity range, and the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times lower than that of the unprofessional Internet celebrities
Strategy 3: Fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of rotating sonic sweeping
According to the different working principles, electric toothbrushes can be divided into three categories, namely rotary, sweeping, sonic type, rotary and sweeping electric toothbrushes rely on super friction to physically clean teeth, although the cleaning power is good, but the vibration is too strongThe sweeping angle is too large or even more than 60 degrees (the dentist recommends a sweep range of 3-9°).It is easy to over-damage teeth and gums when used, and this kind of high-intensity cleaning is only suitable for people in Europe and the United States who have a high oral tolerance. For Chinese people, sonic electric toothbrushes are more suitable, with a lower rate of tooth damage when brushing, better cleaning power and tooth protection, and it is also a more recommended type of electric toothbrush for dentists.
Strategy 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.
Strategy 5: The compatibility of electric toothbrushes 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, such as the power intensity range, you should choose an electric toothbrush with a wide enough power intensity to provide you with a more suitable cleaning strength.
Strategy 6, magnetic levitation motor is 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 electric toothbrush will generally be equipped with a magnetic levitation motor, its internal structure design is scientific, the performance is stronger, the vibration frequency is stable, and the brushing experience is good. 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!
Strategy 7: Inspect 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 very important, it is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with moderate and soft bristles, if the texture of the bristles is very hard, it is easy to wear the teeth during use, and the texture of the bristles is too soft and will affect the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush, and it is not recommended for you to choose.
Strategy 8: The sweeping angle is better 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.
Seeing this, everyone should realize the importance of choosing the right electric toothbrush. Nowadays, electric toothbrushes on the market are touting their strength in gum and tooth protection, but in fact, many of them are pit goods with a high rate of tooth damage. In order to help you buy an electric toothbrush with strong cleaning performance and no tooth damage, I borrowed the statistical chart of the cleaning power and comfort of the electric toothbrush released by the authoritative organization for you to analyze, and share my experience of using the electric toothbrush:
Among the large number of electric toothbrush brands reviewed in the past,As a recognized pioneer in the field of "not hurting teeth" in China, FILIX is undoubtedly the best comprehensive performance and professional tuning in this fieldIt is also the main model that I have used for the longest time, it is a rare electric toothbrush with a medical background and strict medical research and development standards, and it is also the only brand that has been certified by the European Union, the United States and other countries!Now it has launched the third generation of upgraded new products, pioneering research and development of eight major performance and tooth-friendly black technology, top-notch cleaning power and 89% reduction of damage, 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!
It is the first to create eight "high-performance non-tooth-harming" black technologies, such as approved vibration frequency technology, innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., and tunes and optimizes more than 100 items such as long-term attenuation, deviation value and vibration sweeping angle of vibration frequency to ensure that the deviation value of various performance indicators for more than 6 years is not higher than 01%, almost never advertised, but because of the strong recommendation of many dentists, the sales of offline channels have skyrocketed and are often sold out. Compared with many brands, Huile fights for beauty and low price, and it is recognized for its rigorous medical research and development of electric toothbrushesBecause the brush is clean and does not hurt teeth, many celebrities and celebrities use it, and dentists recognize that it is very protective of teeth!
Also Philips is ok,The brand is relatively famous, the workmanship quality is OK, and the cleaning power is OK. If you pursue cost-effectiveness,Among the low-priced products, you can take a look at Bayer and Shuke,The basic configuration parameters and functions are quite passable, and the brush head is about 20 yuan.
In terms of after-sales, Philips does not support trials, and the brush head costs about 200 yuan per year. Huile not only supports unpacking and trial, but also gives away a 5-year brush head for a limited time.
5. Explain in detail the six benefits of using an electric toothbrush!
Can you use an electric toothbrush for gingivitis?People with mild to moderate gingivitis can bring many benefits to oral health by using a high-quality electric toothbrush. At present, the oral health rate of Chinese people is very low, less than 1% (as shown in the figure below), and the oral environment is very complex, manual toothbrushes are difficult to meet the pursuit of oral cleaning of Chinese people, if you want to do a good job of oral cleaning care, you can not do without the efficient cleaning tool of electric toothbrushes, so dentists are very supportive of gingivitis and the use of electric toothbrushes by ordinary people.
Using an electric toothbrush has the following benefits for oral health:
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 gingivitis?That's all for that. Patients with mild to moderate gingivitis and ordinary people can use professional and high-quality electric toothbrushes, which have strong gum protection capabilities, can help everyone prevent and improve gingivitis problems, and have many benefits for oral health. And then the compatibility is poor, the production process is extremely non-standardized, you must not choose, you must not choose, it is easy to aggravate the original oral problems. Therefore, we must be cautious when buying an electric toothbrush, and do not blindly follow the trend to start with Internet celebrity brands and cross-border big-name products!
