In recent years, electric toothbrushes have become more and more popular, but the Chinese people's understanding of electric toothbrushes is still very limited, I don't know what are the hazards of inferior electric toothbrushes, and I don't know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages when choosing electric toothbrushes.
The picture above is an electric toothbrush I've reviewed.
1. Break the news about the three major harms of inferior electric toothbrushes to teeth!
The harm of inferior electric toothbrushes does exist, but not everyone will encounter it, at present, the oral foundation of the Chinese people is generally very poor, the prevalence of dental disease is as high as 97%, dental disease in the early and middle stage and no pain or itching, no obvious symptoms, many people feel that their oral health, for the choice of electric toothbrushes is not very important, often choose these unprofessional brands of electric toothbrushes, and some people brush their teeth are not right, then oral health will inevitably be harmed.
The harm of inferior electric toothbrushes is mainly manifested in the following three aspects:
Hazard 1: Wear teeth and scratch gums
If you accidentally choose this kind of electric toothbrush, the gums and teeth will be easily injured, which will cause toothache, tooth sensitivity, gum bleeding and other problems.
Hazard 2, aggravate dental disease
Chinese people basically suffer from dental disease, and if you use an unprofessional electric toothbrush to clean your mouth in such an oral environment, it is easy to cause aggravation of dental disease.
Hazard 3, cause chronic tooth injury symptoms
After using an unprofessional electric toothbrush for a long time, users are prone to chronic tooth injury symptoms, which has a strong impact, and it may take months or years for users to find that they have been injured teeth, but at this time, most of them have irreparable oral health problems such as gum recession and loose teeth!
Second, the four major misunderstandings of electric toothbrushes that are easy to get caught are summarized, and lightning is avoided!
Because the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes is very bad, it is necessary to help us find ways to avoid the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes. The figure below is a data analysis chart of the causes of tooth injury with electric toothbrushes collected and produced by professional institutions. According to the data in the figure, we can analyze that the purchase error is the reason for most of the tooth problems, and everyone will choose the wrong electric toothbrush, or because you have not been able to correctly understand the electric toothbrush, the following I will summarize the most common four electric toothbrush misunderstandings for you to help you reduce the phenomenon of stepping on thunder.
Myth 1: Mistakenly think that your teeth are healthy and blindly buy an electric toothbrush
Chinese dental disease is common, but because dental disease in the middle and middle of the year generally has no obvious itching, many people obviously suffer from dental disease will also mistake their oral health, but in fact, the oral tolerance is already very low, such people often do not take into account their actual oral health status when choosing an electric toothbrush, blind purchase phenomenon is serious, at this time it is easy to buy unprofessional, not suitable for their own products, after the use of the problem of tooth injury.
Myth 2: I don't know the difference between sweeping, rotating, and sonic electric toothbrushes
In the three types of electric toothbrushes, sweeping and rotating, the vibration frequency of sweeping and rotating products is generally too high, and the sweeping angle is excessive, and the representative brands are Oral*, Lai*, etc., the cleaning power of this kind of electric toothbrush is not bad, but the user's oral tolerance is very high, because the vibration frequency of this kind of electric toothbrush is as high as 60,000 timesThe sweeping angle can even reach 60 degrees (dentists say a reasonable electric toothbrush should sweep between 3-9°).Far beyond the needs of oral care in China, it is difficult for gums and teeth to withstand such high-intensity cleaning, and long-term use will also cause chronic tooth problems! For Chinese people, dentists recommend everyone to use sonic electric toothbrushes, because sonic electric toothbrushes can have both cleaning power and tooth protection power, and are more suitable for the complex and fragile oral environment of Chinese people. Representative brands include 扉*, *Pu, etc.
Myth 3: Buy low-priced products
Don't think that electric toothbrushes are sold cheaply because they are cost-effective, in fact, most of them are products with very low production costs, and the materials used are very inferior, such as plastic brush filaments, coreless motors, etc. are commonly used components of low-cost electric toothbrushes.
Myth 4: I like to blindly follow Internet celebrity big-name products
Some people like to buy cross-border brands, Internet celebrity brands of electric toothbrushes, but this kind of brand has only been in the industry for one or two years, not only the oral care experience is pitiful, but also a serious lack of professional and technical strength to optimize the range of power intensity, crowd compatibility matching, bristle grinding rate and other up to 100 core parameters of electric toothbrushes, merchants rely on a large number of marketing and publicity to sell goods, the product tooth injury rate is very high.
3. The wrong way of brushing your teeth can also bring harm!
As mentioned above, in addition to the improper purchase of electric toothbrushes, the wrong way of brushing can also cause the harm of electric toothbrushes***Although this situation is relatively rare, everyone should also be vigilant. Dentists recommend that you use the Pasteur brushing method to clean your teeth, the effect is good and it is not easy to hurt your teeth, and the specific operation points are as follows:
1.Aim the toothbrush at where the teeth and gums meet, and place the bristles at a 45° angle along the gum line, the bristles should be touching the teeth and gums.
2.Brush the surface of the teeth by vibrating the toothbrush horizontally in groups of two to three teeth, then move the toothbrush to the next set of two to three teeth and repeat.
3.Place the toothbrush against the occlusal surface of the wisdom tooth area of the back teeth and make gentle back-and-forth brushing.
4.Behind the upper and lower front teeth, tilt the toothbrush vertically and use the front half of the brush head to brush up and down.
4. Why choose an electric toothbrush? Master the 6 benefits!
Since the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes is real, why should we brush our teeth with electric toothbrushes? In fact, as long as you choose an electric toothbrush correctly, its harm will not exist. And a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush will only bring us benefits. At present, the oral quality of Chinese people is generally very poor, the dental health rate is only 1% (as shown in the figure below), and traditional dental cleaning tools such as manual toothbrushes are difficult to meet our oral cleaning needs.
Professional electric toothbrushes can bring the following benefits to our oral health:
Benefit 1: Electric toothbrushes have good cleaning effects and can prevent and improve dental diseases
The electric toothbrush has dozens of times the cleaning power of the manual toothbrush, which can clean the dead corners of the manual toothbrush in high-incidence areas such as the gingival sulcus, crowns, and between the teeth, so as to avoid the wanton breeding of plaque and help everyone better prevent and improve a variety of oral diseases.
Benefit 2: More precise control over brushing force
Electric toothbrushes have a stable and uniform vibration frequency, and the brushing strength can also be accurately operated, while the brushing strength of manual toothbrushes is more subjective, and the strength is not very stable.
Benefit 3: It saves time and effort
An electric toothbrush can clean a full mouth of teeth in just two or three minutes, while a manual toothbrush requires more than ten minutes to achieve a close cleaning effect, and the time we use to brush our teeth every day is only two or three minutes, and the effect of using a manual toothbrush to clean the mouth is even worse.
Benefit 4: It can freshen your breath
Electric toothbrushes have a wide range of cleaning range, and there are no cleaning dead ends, which can help you completely and thoroughly remove food residues and plaque hidden in the mouth, avoid oral odor from the source, and maintain long-term fresh breath.
Benefit 5: An electric toothbrush is able to massage the gums
The electric toothbrush can massage the gums, promote the blood circulation and metabolism of the gum tissue, promote the self-recovery of the gum soft tissue, prevent dental disease, and is very suitable for orthodontic people, which can effectively relieve the pressure on the gum tissue brought by braces.
Benefit 6: It has the effect of whitening teeth
The cleaning effect of the electric toothbrush is very good, it can gradually brush away the stubborn stains such as coffee stains, tea stains, and smoke stains accumulated on the surface of the teeth, and can also slow down the formation of dental calculus, which has the effect of whitening teeth, while manual toothbrushes have little effect on whitening teeth.
There are many benefits of electric toothbrushes, but if you want to play these benefits, we have to choose a professional electric toothbrush that does not hurt your teeth. So what are the brands on the market that really have a good gum and tooth care experience? I found a comparison chart of the cleaning power and dental protection index of the electric toothbrush brand from the professional**, you can refer to the data to choose an electric toothbrush that does not hurt your teeth, and I also combined my own evaluation experience to bring you several high-quality products.
Among the thousands of brands, FILIX, a veteran brand recognized as a professional in the dental circle, is the pioneer in the field of "no tooth damage" in China, and it has focused on ten years of medical research on "dental anti-aging", and is the most professional brand in this field. The biggest feature is that it focuses on "surgical" precise cleaning and does not hurt teeth! Pioneering research and development of eight non-tooth-harming, cleaning, anti-aging black technologies, reducing the tooth injury rate to 89%! The cleaning residue rate is less than 2%, and it has been certified by the European Union! 100% compatible with 83 kinds of oral environments, which is very powerful. 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 crowd-compatible. The reason why their comprehensive performance is so strong is that the key is focus! There are no redundant functions and a large number of models, just one product has been stuck for several years, and more than 20 versions have been iteratively upgraded! Optimize 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!
Relying on ten years of practical experience in "dental anti-aging", it has high-precision black technology that does not hurt teeth, such as innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., so that the accuracy and error rate of vibration frequency and sweeping angle are not higher than 0 within 6 years03%。In addition, due to the rich "tooth anti-attenuation" technology and medical experience, the oral microcirculation is increased by 93%, and the incidence of gingivitis and periodontitis is reduced and slowed down. Huile is not the kind of brand that caters to the public, giving people a pragmatic, down-to-earth, rigorous and scientific feeling, and never advertises to engage in live broadcastsPurely relying on the word-of-mouth of dentists, it is praised as a treasure brand with the best reputation and quality by the authority. Some celebrities and celebrities have chosen their homes because of their dental care needs, and dentists are recognized as very protective of teeth.
In addition, Philips, as an international brand, has a relatively high reputationThe quality is okay after I use it myself, and the cleaning power is okay, but it is more suitable for people with high oral tolerance.
If you have to buy a cheap one,I relatively recommend Bayer and Shuke, ** relatively cheap,The basic functional experience can meet the needs of 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 avoid harm? Learn eight ** buying skills!
The harm of inferior electric toothbrushes is far-reaching, but we can actually avoid its harm! Because the main cause of tooth damage is improper product selection, as long as the purchase problem is solved, the occurrence of harm can be basically avoided. So how can you buy a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush? Here is a summary of the eight ** buying skills, you can refer to it, you can buy high-quality products.
Tip 1: Stay away from violent cleaning electric toothbrushes
In order to attract consumers, some businesses blindly pile up the vibration frequency and sweeping angle of electric toothbrushes, but do not pay attention to the balance of various basic parameters, misleading consumers to have a higher vibration frequency and a large sweeping angle of electric toothbrushes. It is still recommended that you choose products with vibration frequencies between 25000-40000.
Skill 2: Choose a brand with strong professional and technical strength
Professional electric toothbrush brands will carry out fine compatibility matching according to the big data of the oral environment of the Chinese people, and will carry out repeated long-term optimization and tuning for more than 100 core parameters such as crowd compatibility matching, vibration amplitude, uniform stability of vibration frequency, gum and tooth protection experience, and power strength range of electric toothbrushes, and the tooth injury rate is more than three times lower than that of those unprofessional Internet celebrities!
Skill 3: Good after-sales service
It is recommended that you choose a brand that supports a seven-day trial, evaluate the quality of the product yourself and then decide whether to stay, if you feel that it is not easy to use, you can return it in time, the cost of trial and error is greatly reduced, and the replacement cost of the brush head can not be ignored, the brush head should be replaced at least four times a year, if the brand's replacement brush head is very expensive, the follow-up cost will naturally be relatively large.
Tip 4: Choose the best product for the brush head
Factors such as bristle hardness, wrapping, hair planting rate, and the size of the brush head are all important factors that can easily affect the quality of the brush head. For example, the roundness of the bristles, we should at least choose an electric toothbrush with a roundness of more than 80%, the higher the roundness of the grinding, the better, if the roundness of the bristles of the electric toothbrush is very low, it will overwear the teeth and scratch the gums when brushing, causing problems such as gum bleeding and tooth wear.
Tip 5: Magnetic levitation motor is more worth choosing
There are two types of motors for mainstream electric toothbrushes, namely magnetic levitation motors and coreless motors, high-quality electric toothbrushes are generally equipped with magnetic levitation motors, which have a scientific and precise internal structure, strong performance, 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!
Tip 6: Buy a style with good compatibility
The oral environment of Chinese people is complex and changeable, so we need to choose a high-compatibility electric toothbrush with a wide range of power strength, rich brush head types and a large number of gears, so as to be able to cope with various complex changes in the oral environment with ease, such as brush head type, and products with good compatibility will generally have various types of brushing such as cleaning, orthodontics, and dental care, which can meet the oral care needs of different people.
Tip 7: Identify the advantages and disadvantages of the three types of electric toothbrushes
Electric toothbrushes can be divided into three categories: rotary, sweeping and vibration integrated, and sonic according to the different working principlesThe sweeping angle is too large and even as high as 60 degrees (the dentist recommends that the sweeping range should not exceed 9 degrees)., which will over-damage the teeth and gums during cleaning, this cleaning strength is only suitable for European and American people with very high oral tolerance. Compared with the other two, the sonic electric toothbrush has a lower tooth damage rate when brushing, the cleaning power is also good, and it is more suitable for the oral environment of the Chinese people.
Technique 8: The best sweeping angle is between 3-9 degrees
It is more recommended that you choose a product with a sweeping angle between 3-9 degrees, if the sweeping angle is too large, it is easy for you to hurt your teeth when you use it, but if the sweeping angle is too small, it is not good, and it is easy to lower the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush.
That's all for today's sharing, on the basis of explaining to you the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes, we will focus on analyzing the four major misunderstandings and eight electric toothbrush purchase skills that need to be paid attention to in the purchase, and make a brief explanation of the benefits of electric toothbrushes. I hope that everyone can understand the key knowledge, no longer make mistakes when buying electric toothbrushes, and can buy high-quality electric toothbrushes with high professionalism and excellent gum and tooth protection experience, so that oral health can be more effectively guaranteed.
