But for a long time, the claim that electric toothbrushes can hurt teeth has also been widely circulated, which has made many people worried. Does an electric toothbrush cause damage to your teeth? Dental students will answer this question in a professional manner, and share tips for choosing the right electric toothbrush to help you choose the right electric toothbrush for you.
The picture below is an electric toothbrush product that I have reviewed myself.
1. Analysis of the three major hazards of unprofessional electric toothbrushes!
Can electric toothbrushes cause damage to teeth? Inferior electric toothbrushes cause damage to teeth is a common thing, you must know that there are a large number of inferior electric toothbrushes on the market, and the oral health quality of Chinese people is relatively poor, the proportion of dental health people is less than 1%, but because most people's dental diseases are still in the early and middle stages of development, it is not painful or itchy, and it is difficult to detect, so they are optimistic that they are oral health. If you use an unprofessional electric toothbrush at this time, it is easy to bring harm to the mouth, such as the following three points:
Hazard 1: Wear teeth and scratch gums
If you accidentally choose this kind of electric toothbrush, it is likely to damage the gums and teeth, causing problems such as tooth soreness, tooth sensitivity, and gum bleeding.
Hazard 2, aggravate dental disease
Most people in our country suffer from underlying dental diseases, and if you use an inferior electric toothbrush to clean your mouth in such an oral environment, dental disease is likely to worsen faster.
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!
2. Don't touch the electric toothbrush four ** buy taboos!
Can electric toothbrushes cause damage to teeth? Nowadays, many people have a wait-and-see attitude towards electric toothbrushes, because inferior electric toothbrushes have some obvious harms, so why do these electric toothbrushes appear harmful? We can take a look at the statistical analysis of the negative evaluation of electric toothbrushes investigated by professional institutions, there are a lot of complaints about inferior electric toothbrushes, in fact, the use of inferior electric toothbrushes is also the main reason for being injured teeth, in order to avoid everyone buying inferior electric toothbrushes, I have summarized the four major electric toothbrush purchase taboos, I hope you will be more vigilant.
1: Choose an electric toothbrush with poor compatibility
The complex oral environment requires that the electric toothbrush must have a high degree of compatibility in order to meet the oral care needs of users.
2: Choose an electric toothbrush without combining your oral state
Chinese people have common dental disease, oral tolerance is very low, and dental disease in the middle and middle of the year almost no pain and itching, so even if there are oral problems, many people will think that their teeth are healthy, buy an electric toothbrush completely regardless of their fragile oral state, very blind and casual, then everyone is easy to buy unprofessional, not suitable for their own electric toothbrush, and then cause the problem of tooth damage.
3: Choose a cheap electric toothbrush
Cheap electric toothbrushes are easy to use to hurt teeth, because the results of this kind of electric toothbrush at the professional and technical level are almost 0, the production cost is seriously reduced, the materials are coreless motors, low roundness of bristles such as inferior components, the processing technology is simple and rough, it does not take long to appear the movement damp, noisy, unstable brushing strength and other problems, short service life, and easy to hurt teeth.
4: I can't tell the difference between the three types of electric toothbrushes: rotating, sweeping, and sonic toothbrushes
The electric toothbrushes on the market can be divided into three types according to the different working distances, namely rotary type, sweeping and vibration integrated type, and sonic type electric toothbrush. Rotary, sweeping integrated is more typical, the representative brands are Oral*, Lai*, their vibration frequency can reach 60,000 times,The sweeping angle is even set to 60 degrees (doctors believe that the sweeping range of popular electric toothbrushes is 3-9 degrees).It relies on super friction to physically clean the gums and teeth, so it is more irritating to the gums and teeth, more harmful, and noisy, which is more suitable for European and American people with high oral tolerance. Sonic electric toothbrushes use a motor to drive the brush head, quickly mixing toothpaste and water to form a rich and delicate foam to clean the mouth, compared to the other two types of electric toothbrushesThe sonic electric toothbrush also has excellent cleaning power and a more comfortable brushing experience, and the representative models include the Fen*, *Pu, and so on. But you need to use a more scientific professional sonic electric toothbrush with a stable sweeping angle and vibration frequency
3. Why should I use an electric toothbrush? Six benefits of popular science!
Can electric toothbrushes cause damage to teeth? It is true that an unprofessional electric toothbrush can cause tooth problems, but a professional electric toothbrush not only has no risk of tooth damage, but can also bring a lot of benefits to our oral health. Chinese people's awareness of oral care is weak, more than 90% of people have dental disease, it is difficult to meet everyone's oral care needs with manual toothbrushes, people need more efficient oral care tools to help themselves maintain oral health, so dentists recommend that you use electric toothbrushes.
There are many benefits of a high-quality electric toothbrush, and I will briefly introduce it to you
Benefit 1: Electric toothbrushes have strong cleaning ability and can prevent and improve dental diseases
The cleaning power of electric toothbrushes is 100 times better than that of manual toothbrushes, which can clean the blind spots that cannot be done by manual toothbrushes, such as the back of teeth, tooth gaps, tooth roots, wisdom teeth and other high-incidence areas of dental disease, and comprehensively remove food residues and plaque in the mouth, helping everyone effectively prevent and improve dental diseases.
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
Electric toothbrushes can help you massage your gums and promote the self-recovery of gum tissue, especially suitable for orthodontic people, which can effectively relieve the pressure on gum tissue due to long-term wearing of orthodontic appliances and prevent black triangle problems.
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.
If you want to take advantage of these benefits, you need to choose a professional and high-quality electric toothbrush. At present, the electric toothbrushes on the market are promoting their teeth and gum protection, in fact, most of them are disguised as tooth-damaging products. In order to have a more macro grasp of this, I specially found the following electric toothbrush cleaning power and comfort test results from professional institutions for your reference.
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.
Fourth, look for the eight ** purchase skills, choose high-quality products!
Can electric toothbrushes cause damage to teeth? After answering this question, in the spirit of "teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish", I will talk about how to choose a high-quality electric toothbrush to avoid the harm of hurting teeth. I have summarized a total of eight high-quality electric toothbrush purchase skills, all of which are summarized by my years of experience, full of dry goods, you have to read carefully!
Tip 1: It is more recommended to have a model equipped with a magnetic levitation motor
The motor is the main component of the electric toothbrush, there are generally two types of magnetic levitation motor and coreless motor, high-quality products are mostly equipped with magnetic levitation motor, its internal structure design is more scientific, the performance is stronger, the vibration frequency is stable, and the brushing experience will be better, while the coreless motor often has problems such as unstable vibration frequency and force attenuation, high noise, poor brushing experience, and high risk of tooth injury, so it is not recommended that you choose!
Skill 2: Choose a brand with strong professional and technical strength
Professional brands will carry out fine compatibility matching according to the big data of the complex oral environment 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!
Tip 3: 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 is good, but the vibration is strongThe sweeping angle far exceeds the oral tolerance of Chinese people, reaching more than 60 degrees (doctors believe that the scientific scanning range of electric toothbrushes is 3-9 degrees).The risk of tooth injury is high, and this kind of high-intensity cleaning is more 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 4: It is best to have a battery life of more than 30 days
It is best to choose an electric toothbrush with a battery life of more than 30 days, if the battery life is too poor, the frequency of charging the electric toothbrush will be very high, not to mention the trouble, the battery life will be quickly reduced.
Skill 5: 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.
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 too large, it will be more irritating to the gums and teeth, and it is easy to have problems such as gum bleeding and toothache, but the electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle too small should not be chosen, and the cleaning power of the product is generally not very good.
Tip 7: Electric toothbrush compatibility should be good
The oral environment is complex and changeable, so you need to choose a high-compatibility product with rich brush head types, wide power intensity range, and multiple gears, such as the power intensity range of electric toothbrushes, which must reach a certain width to provide users with more suitable teeth cleaning strength.
Tip 8: The quality of the brush head must be good
Factors such as bristle roundness, bristle hardness, hair planting rate, and brush head size will all affect the quality of the brush head of an electric toothbrush. If the bristles are too hard, they will overwear the teeth and scratch the gums, and the texture of the bristles is too soft and will affect the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose.
Can electric toothbrushes cause damage to teeth? That's all for today. Although unprofessional electric toothbrushes have the problem of hurting teeth, we can avoid them through reasonable purchase, and professional and high-quality electric toothbrushes have excellent cleaning power and gum protection experience, which can not only make teeth cleaner, but also reduce the probability of dental diseases, so electric toothbrushes are still worth using.
