As a good oral care product with strong cleaning power and time-saving and labor-saving, electric toothbrushes have been very popular in recent years. However, many periodontitis patients are worried that the use of electric toothbrushes will hurt their teeth, after all, their oral environment is very fragile, and ordinary people may hurt their teeth when they use electric toothbrushes, let alone themselves. Can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis? Today, a nurse will answer this question for you. The article will analyze the risks of inferior electric toothbrushes in detail, and I hope you must understand before buying an electric toothbrush!
The pictures below are all electric toothbrush products that I have used in my evaluation).
1. Can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis?
First of all, let's take you to understand what is periodontitis, periodontitis is an infectious disease of periodontal tissue caused by plaque biofilm, which destroys the gums, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and cementum. So can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis? I consulted a dozen dentist friends around me to see what they had to say:
Dentists believe that people with early-to-moderate periodontitis can use an electric toothbrush. Periodontitis in the early and middle stages generally has no obvious pain, mainly manifested as red and swollen gums, frequent bleeding of the gums, and periodontal pockets, at this time, you can use an electric toothbrush to clean your teeth, because periodontitis patients are generally accompanied by a large amount of dental calculus, which will lead to gum recession in the long run, while electric toothbrushes have strong cleaning power, which can comprehensively remove plaque, inhibit the formation of dental calculus, and help you improve periodontitis.
However, patients with advanced periodontitis should not use an electric toothbrush. Patients with advanced periodontal disease will emit a foul smell in the mouth, the teeth will be obviously loose, the pain will be obvious when chewing, and eventually the teeth will fall out.
2. Three major risks of using an inferior electric toothbrush
Can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis? Periodontitis patients are very suitable for using electric toothbrushes, but if you use unprofessional products, there is also a risk of tooth damage! The oral quality of Chinese people is relatively poor, and more than 90% of them suffer from periodontal disease (see figure below). At the beginning of the formation of dental disease, it does not bring us much discomfort, so even if you have dental disease, most of your friends do not pay attention to it. At this time, if you choose to buy an unprofessional electric toothbrush at random, there will be a high risk of tooth damage when you use it!
The main risks of tooth injury from unprofessional electric toothbrushes are as follows:
Risk 1Regular brushing with an inferior electric toothbrush can overstimulate the gums and cause wear and tear on the teeth, resulting in tooth soreness and bleeding gums.
Risk 2Most people in our country have oral problems, and if you are already suffering from dental disease and use an inferior electric toothbrush to brush your teeth, it is likely to lead to the accelerated development of dental disease.
Risk 3Long-term use of unprofessional electric toothbrushes is also prone to chronic tooth damage, and users often notice that they have been injured teeth after a few months or more than half a year, at which time most of them have serious oral health problems such as gum recession and loose teeth.
3. Be cautious about buying the four major IQ tax electric toothbrushes
Can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis? If periodontitis patients can use an electric toothbrush, why do they hurt their teeth? The following figure is an authoritative statistical chart of the causes of tooth injury for electric toothbrush users, and it can be seen that the appearance of tooth injury problems is mainly due to improper purchase. And everyone will buy poor quality products because there are many IQ tax products in the electric toothbrush industry. In order to help you better identify them and avoid their deception, I have summarized the four common IQ taxes in the electric toothbrush industry, I hope you can be vigilant!
1. Analyze the three types of electric toothbrushes: rotary, sweeping, and sonic toothbrushes
Electric toothbrushes can be divided into three types according to the different working principles: sweeping, rotating, and sonic type, among which the vibration frequency of rotary and sweeping electric toothbrushes can even reach 60,000 timesThe sweeping angle reached 60 degrees, and the dentist thought that the sweeping range of the electric toothbrush was between 3-9 degrees was more scientificThe damage to the gums and teeth is relatively large, and the oral environment of the Chinese people is not suitable, which is easy to cause tooth sensitivity, brushing bleeding and other problems, and is only suitable for some European and American people with high oral tolerance. For the oral state of the Chinese people, dentists recommend that you use a sonic electric toothbrush with excellent cleaning power and high dental protection, compared with rotary and sweeping type, sonic electric toothbrush can help you better maintain dental health, but you need to use a sonic electric toothbrush that has been professionally tuned.
2. Internet celebrity products
The funds of Internet celebrity brands are mainly invested in marketing hype, but they have not studied the professional technology research and development of electric toothbrushes, and the cost is generally only a few dozen yuan, but using Internet celebrities to bring goods, celebrity endorsements, etc., merchants can sell electric toothbrushes to hundreds or thousands of yuan, and such brands generally lack oral care experience and professional technical precipitation, and the use experience is very poor, and there are often adverse reactions such as gum bleeding and toothache, and long-term use of these Internet celebrity products may also cause chronic tooth problems.
3. Cross-border brand
Many brands did not do oral care products before, but seeing that electric toothbrushes have been very popular in the past two years, they have crossed over into the industry, such brand advertising has not been less, although famous, but oral care experience is seriously insufficient, and there is also a lack of professional and technical strength to optimize the training of gum and tooth protection experience, long-term attenuation, vibration angle and other more than 100 core parameters of electric toothbrushes, so the tooth injury rate of electric toothbrushes is more than 3 times higher than that of professional brands, everyone must be careful about this kind of brand!
4. Very cheap electric toothbrush
Many friends can't escape the low-price trap, those low-cost electric toothbrushes seem cost-effective, in fact, they are very pitiful, they generally use rough and inferior bristles, coreless motors and other components to process products, electric toothbrush failure rate is very high, such as high working noise, poor battery life, weak power and other complaints appear frequently, the risk of product tooth injury is very high!
Fourth, Xiaobai's eight guides to buying an electric toothbrush
Can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis? People with periodontitis need to use a high-quality electric toothbrush to stay away from the risk of tooth damage and protect their teeth and gums. Nowadays, there are many low-quality electric toothbrushes on the market, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will choose inferior products, which will affect your oral health. In order to help you choose a high-quality electric toothbrush, I have summarized the eight ** purchase guides, hurry up and learn it!
1.Buy products with strong professional and technical strength
Professional electric toothbrush brands will repeatedly adjust and optimize more than 100 core parameters such as vibration frequency range, crowd compatibility matching, gum and tooth protection experience, and sweeping angle, and the electric toothbrush can perfectly adapt to the complex oral environment of Chinese people, and the tooth injury rate is 300% lower than that of those unprofessional Internet celebrities.
2.Master the pros and cons of rotating sonic sweeping electric toothbrushes
According to the different principles, electric toothbrushes can be divided into three types: rotary, sweeping and sonic type, among which rotary and sweeping electric toothbrushes have good cleaning power, but the vibration is too strongThe sweeping angle is also very large, up to 60 degrees (the dentist considers a reasonable electric toothbrush to sweep between 3-9°).Therefore, it is easy to hurt the teeth when used, and this cleaning strength is only suitable for some Europeans and Americans with high oral tolerance. The sonic electric toothbrush has a lower tooth injury rate, excellent cleaning power, and is more suitable for the oral environment of Chinese people, and this kind of electric toothbrush is also the most recommended type for dentists.
3.It is best to choose a product equipped with a magnetic levitation motor
The motor is an important component of the electric toothbrush, there are two main types, namely the magnetic levitation motor and the coreless motor, the coreless motor is low in cost, its performance is weak, the noise is large, the vibration frequency is unstable, and the risk of tooth injury is relatively high, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose. High-quality electric toothbrushes are generally equipped with a magnetic levitation motor, which has better performance, more stable operation, lower working noise, and a better brushing experience.
4.The sweep angle is best between 3-9 degrees
It is recommended that you choose an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle between 3 and 9 degrees, if the sweeping angle is too large, it is easy to cause tooth damage, but it is not recommended to choose an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle too small, and the cleaning performance is generally poor.
5.Buy products that are compatible
The oral environment of Chinese people is changing all the time, and it is necessary to use electric toothbrushes with strong compatibility, so we should choose products with many gears, rich brush head types, and a wide range of power strength, so that electric toothbrushes can have stronger adaptability in the face of different groups of people and changing oral care needs!
6.Choose the style of the brush head***
There are a lot of technical details on the brush head, such as roundness, bristle hardness, wrapping, and so on. Among them, the roundness of the bristles is one of the parameters that everyone needs to pay attention to, the top of the bristles of the electric toothbrush with the roundness rate is not up to standard, which is easy to scratch the gums and wear the teeth when brushing, and you need to choose an electric toothbrush with a roundness of more than 80% of the bristles!
7.After-sales service cannot be ignored
It is recommended that you choose a brand that can be tried for 7 days without reason, you can try the product first and then decide whether to stay, the cost of trial and error has been greatly reduced, and you should also pay attention to the brush head replacement, after all, the brush head is a consumable, if you use it normally, you will have to replace it once every three months, if the replacement brush head is very expensive, the follow-up cost will be relatively large.
8.Choose an electric toothbrush with a long battery life
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a battery life of more than 30 days, otherwise you will need to charge it frequently in the process of using an electric toothbrush, and the battery is easy to age quickly after repeated charging and discharging.
After learning the purchase guide, I also hope that you can learn more about the measured data of electric toothbrushes, because many businesses are carrying out false propaganda, claiming that electric toothbrushes protect gums and teeth, but in fact, the rate of tooth damage is very high. Therefore, I found the core evaluation data of electric toothbrushes released by professional institutions to help you find electric teeth that really have good cleaning power and do not hurt your teeth.
In terms of technology and professionalism, FILIX is recognized as a veteran brand of professional technology, as the originator of the domestic "tooth-free" field, focusing on ten years of "dental anti-aging" medical research, and is the best brand in this field of tuning.

In terms of after-sales, Philips does not support trials, and the cost of brushing heads is about 200 a year. Huile not only supports unpacking and trial, but also gives away a 5-year brush head for a limited time.
5. The six major benefits of using an electric toothbrush
Can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis? From the answer to this question from professional dentists, we know that electric toothbrushes can relieve periodontitis symptoms, so they are suitable for this group of people. So what are the other benefits of using an electric toothbrush? At present, the oral health of the Chinese people is poor, and more than 90% of the population suffers from oral diseases (as shown in the figure below). Everyone's oral environment is complex, and traditional oral cleaning tools are difficult to meet our current oral care needs, so dentists believe that both periodontitis patients and ordinary people should use electric toothbrushes.
The benefits of using an electric toothbrush are as follows:
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 operated accurately, while the brushing strength of manual toothbrushes is more subjective, and the strength is not very stable.
Benefit 3: Fresh breath
Electric toothbrushes have no dead spots to clean and can completely remove food debris and plaque hidden in the mouth, avoiding bad breath and maintaining fresh breath.
Benefit 4: It is more time-saving and labor-saving to use
An electric toothbrush only takes two or three minutes to clean the whole mouth, while a manual toothbrush requires more than ten minutes to clean the whole mouth, and most people use it for two or three minutes to brush their teeth, and the cleaning effect of the manual toothbrush is even worse.
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, accelerate the self-recovery of the gum soft tissue, prevent a variety of dental diseases, and is also very suitable for orthodontic people, which can 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.
Can you use an electric toothbrush for periodontitis? After the above study, we believe that you have understood the answer to this question. In order to make everyone's memory more profound and remind everyone of the importance of buying an electric toothbrush, I once again emphasize that everyone must choose a professional electric toothbrush with strong technical strength and excellent gum and tooth protection experience, so as to make the oral condition better and better. When buying an electric toothbrush, don't blindly follow the trend of Internet celebrities, so as not to choose inferior products that lack oral care experience and bring harm to the mouth***
