As an experienced dental professional, I have a strong focus on electric toothbrushes for children. Recently, I have found that many parents are confused when it comes to choosing the right children's electric toothbrush for their children. I would like to remind everyone not to be fooled by the so-called big names and influencer products. These products are usually endorsed by influencers or celebrities, but they lack experience in children's oral care and are not age-specific, so the use of these products can cause problems such as bleeding, sensitivity or pain, and the risk of injuring children's teeth is high. How to choose an electric toothbrush for children? In order to give parents a reliable recommendation, I deliberately tested more than 30 children's electric toothbrushes, and combined with the word-of-mouth evaluation of parents, sorted out 6 value-added brands to recommend to everyone:
Compared to traditional manual toothbrushes, children's electric toothbrushes have outstanding advantages in many aspects. According to statistics, the rate of tooth decay among children in China is as high as 70% (as shown in the figure below). In order to cope with this growing problem of tooth decay, dentists have recommended the use of children's electric toothbrushes.
Electric toothbrushes for kids are better at cleaning than traditional manual toothbrushesIt can more effectively clean dead corners such as between teeth and back of teeth, so as to prevent tooth decay. In addition, because the hand muscles of children under the age of 10 are not yet fully developed, it is difficult for them to use a manual toothbrush proficiently. WhileThe threshold for the use of children's electric toothbrushes is lowParents don't have to worry about their children brushing their teeth too hard or not enoughAt the same time, it is also more time-saving and labor-saving. In addition,The fun of children's electric toothbrushes can attract children's attentionMake them more interested in brushing their teeth. Many children who were originally resistant to brushing their teeth have become little masters at brushing their teeth.
But you also need to be careful to buy products that are not suitable for children, whether it is a children's manual toothbrush or an electric toothbrush, which will cause tooth damage. After understanding the basic benefits, I will summarize a few purchase tips for you to facilitate your daily purchase.
1. Choose products with strong professional strength. Everyone must pay attention, many Internet celebrities and cross-border brands come to make children's electric toothbrushes, most of them have no experience in oral care, and they also lack technical tuning and optimization of motors, vibration frequency, etc., and the rate of tooth injury is generally very high. We try to buy products with strong professional strength, many years of research on the oral cavity of Chinese children, and high adaptability.
2. The roundness of the bristles is higher than 8The roundness of the bristles is very critical, and the roundness of the bristles should be more than 80% as much as possible. Roundness means that the filaments that touch the teeth need to be rounded, and if the rounding treatment is very low, it is easy to damage the gums and teeth of children.
3. The product has an age-specific design. Children's oral development is very fast, if only 1-2 sizes of brush heads are provided, it is easy to hurt teeth if it is not suitable. Therefore, it is important that there is a wide variety of brush heads to meet the cleaning needs of all ages.
Sonic vibrating toothbrushes have a higher cleaning effect:Sonic vibrations are capable of generating thousands of vibration fluctuations, effectively removing plaque and stains from the tooth surface. Therefore, it is best to give preference to sonic vibrating toothbrushes when purchasing for better cleaning results.
5. Make sure the handle is the right thicknessChildren's electric toothbrushes usually have thicker handles, but make sure they fit your child to avoid inconvenient grips and resistance to brushing. Allow your child to try the handle before purchasing.
6. Choose a product with a moderate sweeping angleIt is recommended to choose a children's electric toothbrush within the range of 3-6 degrees to avoid increasing the risk of tooth damage.
How to choose an electric toothbrush for children? When choosing a children's electric toothbrush, as long as you pay attention to the above points in the purchase, the selected products will basically not be too bad. Only by considering these tips can you choose a high-quality electric toothbrush that is suitable for children.
