But some people are not at ease with it, because they have all seen cases or negative reviews about electric toothbrushes hurting their teeth. So do electric toothbrushes hurt your teeth? As a digital evaluation blogger, I have been using electric toothbrushes since six years ago, and I have tested dozens of products, and I still know a lot about electric toothbrushes.
Pictured above are some of the electric toothbrushes I've reviewed.
1. Analyze the three major hazards of inferior electric toothbrushes!
Does an electric toothbrush hurt your teeth? High-quality professional electric toothbrushes will not hurt teeth, but there are too many unprofessional electric toothbrushes on the market, and Chinese people generally have oral problems, more than 90% of people have caries, tooth sensitivity, gingivitis, periodontitis and other diseases, the key is that dental disease does not hurt or itch in the early and middle periods, many people do not feel, mistakenly think that their oral health, do not consider their oral state when buying electric toothbrushes, impulsively and blindly buy, it is easy to buy those unprofessional products, and the harm of hurting teeth will follow.
The main hazards of unprofessional electric toothbrushes are as follows:
Hazard 1Those unprofessional electric toothbrushes often have sharp and rough bristles, unstable vibration frequency, and high and low brushing intensity, which is easy to wear teeth and scratch the gums, which in turn causes frequent bleeding of the gums, tooth soreness and other problems.
Hazard 2Chinese people basically have oral problems, and if you use an inferior electric toothbrush when you have dental disease, it is easy to aggravate the development of dental disease.
Hazard 3Long-term use of an inferior electric toothbrush can also easily induce symptoms of chronic injury, at first the user may not notice anything abnormal, but after a few months or years, the user will have irreparable oral problems such as gum recession and loose teeth.
Second, the four major IQ tax products of lightning protection, away from the harm of tooth injury!
Does an electric toothbrush hurt your teeth? Inferior electric toothbrushes do have the possibility of hurting teeth, and the main reason for hurting teeth is choosing the wrong electric toothbrush, which can also be confirmed by the statistical chart of the causes of tooth injury from electric toothbrushes released by authoritative institutions. In order to help you stay away from inferior electric toothbrushes, I have summarized four common IQ tax pits for you based on data and my own evaluation experience, which generally have a relatively high rate of tooth damage, so you must be more careful when buying electric toothbrushes and buy them carefully.
1. Internet celebrity brand electric toothbrush
Internet celebrity electric toothbrush brands often put the main time and funds on marketing hype, but they do not study 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 sense of use experience is very poor, and there are often adverse reactions such as gum bleeding and toothache. Long-term use of these influencer products may also lead to chronic tooth problems.
2. Analyze 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.
3. 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!
4. 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!
3. How can I not hurt my teeth? Learn eight ** buying skills!
Does an electric toothbrush hurt your teeth? Since the harm of tooth injury mainly stems from improper product selection and the use of inferior products, we can stay away from the harm as long as we ensure that we buy a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush. However, there are many brands of electric toothbrushes, and it is not easy to choose a high-quality electric toothbrush, so I have summarized the following eight tips, you may wish to write them down.
Tip 1: Use a professional electric toothbrush brand
Professional brands of electric toothbrushes will carry out fine compatibility matching according to the complex oral environment big data of Chinese people, and are willing to spend time and energy to repeatedly optimize and adjust more than 100 core parameters of electric toothbrushes, such as uniform stability of vibration frequency, gum and tooth protection experience, and power intensity range, and the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times lower than that of unprofessional Internet celebrities!
Skill 2: 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.
Tip 3: The battery life of an electric toothbrush should be more than 30 days
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, not to mention the trouble, and the battery life will be quickly reduced.
Tip 4: Identify the advantages and disadvantages of rotating sonic sweeping electric toothbrushes
According to the different working principles, electric toothbrushes can be divided into three types: sweeping type, rotary type and sonic type, among which rotary and sweeping electric toothbrushes rely on super friction to clean the mouth, although the cleaning power of this type of electric toothbrush is OK, but the vibration is too strongThe sweeping angle is also too large, even reaching more than 60 degrees (the doctor's recommended electric toothbrush sweeping range is 3-9 degrees).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 toothbrush is more suitable, with a lower rate of tooth damage when brushing, better cleaning power and tooth protection, and this type of electric toothbrush is also the most recommended type by doctors.
Tip 5: Magnetic levitation motor is preferred
The motor is very important as the core component of the electric toothbrush, the electric toothbrush on the market mainly has two types: magnetic levitation motor and coreless motor, high-quality electric toothbrush usually follows the magnetic levitation motor, the internal structure design of this type of motor is more scientific, the vibration frequency is stable, the performance is stronger, and the brushing experience is good. However, the coreless motor has many problems such as unstable vibration frequency, force attenuation, high noise, poor brushing experience, and high risk of tooth injury, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose!
Technique 6: The sweeping angle is 3-9
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle between 3-9 degrees, if you choose an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle that is too large, it is easy to overstimulate the teeth and gums, and there will be problems such as gum bleeding and toothache, but the electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle is too small should not be chosen, and the cleaning power of the product is generally not very good.
Tip 7: Examine 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. If the bristles are too hard, it is easy to wear teeth and scratch the gums, and the bristles are too soft and will affect the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush, so it is not recommended for you to choose.
Tip 8: Electric toothbrush compatibility should be good
The mouth is changing all the time, so it is best to choose a high-compatibility electric toothbrush with a wide range of power strength, rich brush head types, and multiple gears.
When buying an electric toothbrush, in addition to mastering the above eight purchase skills, we should also be careful of the false propaganda of electric toothbrush merchants, almost all brands advertise their products to protect teeth and gums, in fact, there are very few electric toothbrushes that really do not hurt teeth, more are false propaganda, if you are gullible, it is likely to hurt your teeth. In order to let everyone distinguish between true and false propaganda and buy products with strong cleaning power and no damage to teeth, I specially found the cleaning power and dental protection index data of electric toothbrushes in authoritative institutions for your reference.
Among the many brands that I use myself,The professional veteran brand Huile is recognized as the originator of the field of "not hurting teeth", and has been deeply engaged in the medical research and development of "tooth anti-aging" for ten years, and it is also the most professional brand! 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. 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 it has great dental compatibility for complex people in China! The reason why we can achieve super comprehensive performance is to focus! Die 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 "tooth anti-aging", the high-precision black technology does not hurt the teeth, such as the approved vibration frequency technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., so that the accuracy and error rate of the 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 gives people the impression of being more pragmatic, scientific and rigorous, never advertises, and there is no live broadcast to bring goodsRelying on the word of mouth of dentists in the industry. It is praised as the treasure brand with the best reputation by the authority, and there are almost no negative complaints about any products. At a time when the industry is seriously injured and chaotic, and all kinds of beauty and low prices are fighting, Huile's professional, rigorous and safe characteristics have been highly recognized. Many celebrities use their homes because of their dental needs, and dentists are recognized as very good at protecting their teeth!
In addition, the cost performance of Bayer, Shuke, and Libode is also OKThe basic configuration parameters and functions are fairly passable. There are a lot of usmile ads in the beauty model, and the design is really okay.
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.
Fourth, the six advantages of professional electric toothbrushes are summarized!
Does an electric toothbrush hurt your teeth? Since inferior products are indeed harmful, why should we use electric toothbrushes? What do dentists think of electric toothbrushes? Nowadays, the oral health status of Chinese people is not optimistic, less than 1% of the population is healthy (as shown in the figure below), and traditional dental cleaning tools such as manual toothbrushes have been difficult to improve our oral health, so dentists also recommend electric toothbrushes, because electric toothbrushes have the following advantages.
Advantage 1: Electric toothbrush has a good cleaning effect and can prevent and improve dental disease
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 the areas with high incidence of dental diseases, 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.
Advantage 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.
Advantage 3: It can keep your breath fresh
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.
Advantage 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.
Advantage 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.
Advantage 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.
