Many friends have complained that they have bleeding gums, toothache and other problems after using an electric toothbrush. So is using an electric toothbrush bad for your teeth? In this article, the personal nurse will work with you to ** the impact of using an electric toothbrush on dental health, I hope it can give you some help! (The picture below is the electric toothbrush style I reviewed).
1. Three major hazards of using inferior electric toothbrushes!
Is it bad to use an electric toothbrush? If the electric toothbrush you use is professional enough, there will generally be no tooth problems, but the oral health quality of the Chinese people is generally not high, the data shows that more than 90% of adults have periodontitis, tooth decay, gingivitis and other dental diseases, and because the early and middle symptoms of dental disease are not obvious, we are difficult to find, many people actually get sick without knowing it, and they think that their oral health, the purchase of electric toothbrushes is also more casual, at this time it is easy to buy unprofessional electric toothbrushes, it is easy to produce the harm of hurting teeth, Its harm is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:
Hazard 1: Wear teeth and scratch gums
Inferior electric toothbrush bristles are rough and sharp, the vibration frequency is not stable enough, using such an electric toothbrush to brush teeth, gums and teeth are easily injured, causing toothache, tooth sensitivity, gum bleeding and other problems.
Hazard 2, 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!
Hazard 3, 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.
Second, the five major routines of black-hearted electric toothbrush merchants are summarized, and you should be careful when purchasing!
Is it bad to use an electric toothbrush? Inferior electric toothbrushes do have the harm of hurting teeth, but as long as we find out the real cause of inferior electric toothbrushes hurting teeth, we can prescribe the right medicine and stay away from its harm. What causes inferior electric toothbrushes to hurt teeth? The following figure is a statistical chart of the causes of tooth injury for electric toothbrush users released by professional organizations, according to the data analysis in the figure, we can find that improper purchase is the main reason for tooth injury. When we continue to dig deeper, we can find that most people will choose the wrong electric toothbrush because they have fallen into the trap set by the electric toothbrush manufacturer. Below I will share the five most common routines in the electric toothbrush industry, I hope you will be careful.
1. Use celebrity endorsements and Internet celebrities to bring goods to attract consumers
There are many cross-border big names and Internet celebrity brands in the electric toothbrush industry, and this kind of electric toothbrush brand has only been in the industry for one or two years, with no experience in oral care, and a lack of professional and technical strength.
2. Consumables trap
Low-cost electric toothbrushes are generally used in this routine, although they are sold cheaply, but the production cost of the product is also seriously reduced, merchants often choose unrounded plastic bristles, coreless motors and other cheap and inferior components to make electric toothbrushes, the product injury rate is very high, and there are some electric toothbrush brands Although the host is cheap, but the brush head is very expensive, merchants can earn back more money by selling replacement brush heads, such as some Internet celebrity brands, The cost of selling replacement brush heads for cross-border brands is two or three hundred yuan a year, which is very tricky.
3. Buy certificates and qualifications to package products
In order to highlight the electric toothbrush more professional and attract consumers, they will spend money to buy some so-called qualifications and certificates to package products, these names seem authoritative, in fact, they can be bought with money, so we must be cautious about this kind of electric toothbrush with too many titles!
4. Swipe the list and brush the list
Many brands will use Internet celebrities to bring goods at low prices, advertisements, etc., to brush the list and brush the list, so that the data of the electric toothbrush becomes very good-looking, and it is among the best on various lists, but the measured performance of this kind of electric toothbrush is far from being as good as it seems on the data.
5. I can't tell the difference between the three types of rotary sonic and vibration sweeping electric toothbrushes
Mainstream electric toothbrushes can be divided into three types according to the different working principles: sweeping type, rotary type, and sonic type, among which the cleaning power of rotary and sweeping electric toothbrushes is not bad, but the vibration is strong, and the vibration frequency is as high as 60,000 timesThe sweeping angle also reaches 60 degrees, while the dentist thinks it is reasonable for an electric toothbrush to sweep between 3 and 9 degreesThis kind of cleaning strength is only suitable for European and American people with high oral tolerance, and Chinese people with low oral tolerance can easily damage gums and teeth. Relatively speaking, sonic products have better protection for gums and teeth, and the cleaning power is also good, which can more fully meet everyone's oral cleaning needs and is more suitable for the oral environment of Chinese people.
3. How to do it without hurting your teeth? Keep in mind the eight-** purchase strategy!
Is it bad to use an electric toothbrush? I explained to you the fact that inferior electric toothbrushes are harmful, and through the analysis of the reasons behind them, we know that product selection plays a key role in whether electric toothbrushes will be harmful. Only by choosing professional and high-quality products can we effectively avoid the problem of tooth damage. So how can you choose the right electric toothbrush? In fact, it is not difficult, you just need to remember the following eight ** purchase strategies.
Strategy 1: Buy a brand with a high degree of professionalism
For more than 100 parameters that affect the core performance of electric toothbrushes, such as vibration frequency, deviation value of sweeping angle, roundness of bristles, etc., only professional electric toothbrush brands are willing to spend energy and time to adjust and optimize repeatedly and repeatedly, and the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times lower than that of those unprofessional Internet celebrities!
Strategy 2: Choose a style with a certain battery life
If you buy an electric toothbrush with a battery life of more than 30 days, you need to charge the electric toothbrush frequently, not only do you feel troublesome, but repeated charging will also speed up the life of the battery!
Strategy 3: Choose a brand with after-sales service in place
It's best to choose those suitable brands that can be unpacked, tried and replaced! Like the 7-day trial service is very easy to use, you can first try whether the product is suitable for yourself and then decide whether to stay, if you feel that the product is not easy to use, you can also return and exchange in time, the cost of trial and error is relatively low.
Strategy 4: Magnetic levitation motors are more worth buying
As the core component of the electric toothbrush, the motor mainly has two types: coreless motor and magnetic levitation motor, in contrast, it is recommended that you prefer products equipped with magnetic levitation motors, this kind of motor has stronger performance, stable operation, low noise, and good brushing experience, while coreless motors have low cost, poor performance, and poor frequency stability.
Strategy 5: The quality of the brush head should be good enough
Factors such as the roundness, size, and hardness of the bristles will affect the quality of the brush head. For example, the roundness of the bristles is the place that needs to be paid attention to, and we should at least choose an electric toothbrush with a roundness of more than 80% of the bristles, and the top of the bristles with low roundness is rough and sharp, which is easy to scratch the gums and wear the teeth.
Strategy 6: Distinguish the difference between rotation, sonic and vibration sweeping
The mainstream electric toothbrushes on the market can be divided into three categories according to their different working principles, namely rotary type, sweeping and vibration integrated type, and sonic type. Among them, the cleaning power of sweeping and rotating electric toothbrushes is not bad, but the vibration is too strongThe sweeping angle is up to 60° (compared to the 3-9° recommended by the dentist for electric toothbrushes).When brushing teeth, it is easy to wear teeth and scratch gums, which is more suitable for people with high oral tolerance in European and American countries. Dentists recommend Chinese people to use sonic electric toothbrushes, which have excellent cleaning power, are not easy to hurt teeth, low noise, and can bring you a better brushing experience.
Strategy 7: The sweeping angle is best between three and nine degrees
If the sweeping angle is too large, the use of electric toothbrushes will overstimulate the gums and teeth, causing problems such as gum bleeding, toothache and toothache, but do not choose the style with too small sweeping angle, and the cleaning power is easy to be pulled down.
Strategy 8: Buy products with excellent compatibility
You need to use an electric toothbrush with multiple gears, a wide frequency span, and a wide variety of brush heads, so that products with good compatibility can easily cope with various changes in the oral environment. I take the types of brush heads as an example, the more types of brush heads, the better, and electric toothbrushes with good compatibility generally have different types of brush heads such as cleaning brush heads, tooth guard brush heads, and orthodontic brush heads.
Through the above electric toothbrush purchase strategy, you can distinguish the quality of electric toothbrushes, in addition, I have to remind everyone that most of the electric toothbrushes on the market that advertise that they do not hurt their teeth can not be trusted, many of them are disguised as tooth-hurting products! In order to let you buy an electric toothbrush with strong cleaning power and not easy to hurt your teeth, I specially found different electric toothbrush cleaning power and tooth protection index lists in professional institutions for your reference.
Among the large number of electric toothbrush brands reviewed in the past,As a recognized pioneer in the field of "non-tooth damage" in China, FILIX has been deeply engaged in the medical research and development of "dental anti-aging" for ten years, which is undoubtedly the best comprehensive performance and professional adjustment in this field. The biggest feature is that it focuses on "surgical" precise cleaning, which does not hurt teeth! The original eight non-tooth-harming, cleaning, anti-aging black technologies, the tooth injury rate is reduced to 89%! The cleaning residue rate is less than 2%, and it has been certified by the European Union! 100% compatible with 83 types of oral environments, which is very powerful. The power is very strong, but the attenuation is very low, and the vibration frequency stability is extremely high, and it is the first brand in the industry to offer orthodontic brush heads. The reason why we can achieve super comprehensive performance is that we are professional! There are no redundant functions, no large number of models, just a product for several years, iteratively upgraded more than 20 versions! 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", the Huile team has made high-precision black technology that does not hurt teeth, such as dual-structure magnetic levitation motors and innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, so that the accuracy and error rate of vibration frequency and sweeping angle are not higher than 0 within 6 years03%。Combined with rich experience in "tooth anti-attenuation" medical technology, oral microcirculation is increased by 93%, reducing the incidence of gingivitis and periodontitis and alleviating symptoms. Huile is not the kind of brand that chases the trend, giving people a down-to-earth, pragmatic, rigorous and scientific feeling, never advertising, nor engaging in live broadcastingPurely relying on the word-of-mouth of dentists, it is praised as a treasure brand with the best reputation and quality by the authority. Because 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.
4. Summary of the six benefits of electric toothbrushes for the oral cavity!
Is it bad to use an electric toothbrush? As long as you follow the above methods, you can buy a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush, so as to successfully avoid its harm. However, for ordinary people, they will still pay more attention to the opinions of professionals, and there are doubts about whether dentists support the use of electric toothbrushes. In fact, the oral quality of our people is not good, the dental health rate of our people is less than 1%, and the use of electric toothbrushes as soon as possible can effectively improve this condition and avoid minor illnesses from becoming major diseases, so professionals including dentists are supporting everyone to use, and the sooner the better.
Professional and high-quality electric toothbrushes can bring us many benefits, in general, there are the following six aspects:
Benefit 1: Electric toothbrushes have strong cleaning ability, which can prevent and improve dental diseases
The cleaning power of the electric toothbrush is very strong, far more than that of the manual toothbrush, which can clean the blind areas where the manual toothbrush is not clean, such as the gap between the teeth, the back of the teeth, the root of the tooth, the wisdom teeth and other high-incidence areas of dental disease, and comprehensively remove the food residue and plaque in the mouth, helping everyone effectively prevent and improve dental disease.
Benefit 2: Keep your mouth fresh
Electric toothbrushes can comprehensively remove food residues and plaque in the mouth, avoid them from producing unpleasant odors after fermentation in the mouth, and maintain long-term freshness of breath.
Benefit 3: It is more time-saving and labor-saving to use
An electric toothbrush can clean your teeth in two or three minutes, while with a manual toothbrush, you need to insist on more than 10 minutes to achieve a close oral cleaning effect.
Benefit 4: Massage the gums
The electric toothbrush can help you massage the gums and promote the self-recovery of the gum tissue, which is very suitable for people with orthodontic treatment, which can effectively relieve the pressure on the gum tissue due to long-term wearing of orthodontic appliances and effectively prevent the black triangle problem.
Benefit 5: Whiten teeth
An electric toothbrush can gradually brush off the stains deposited on the outer layer of the teeth, such as tea stains, coffee stains, smoke stains, etc., and can also slow down the formation of dental calculus to achieve the effect of whitening teeth.
Benefit 6: Precise control of brushing intensity
The vibration frequency of high-quality professional electric toothbrushes is very uniform and stable, and the control of brushing intensity is very accurate, while manual toothbrushes are subjectively controlled by users, so there are often situations where the brushing intensity is too large and the brushing is too small.
