Electric toothbrush is a new product that has appeared in recent years. Although it is not used by every household, it has been predicted that it will become an important part of public health products.
the electric toothbrush has three advantages.
1. Easy to use
When they get up, most people are still drowsy. At this time, it is difficult to ensure the time and action of brushing teeth. The electric toothbrush solves this problem very well. You can clean your teeth as long as you move your hands gently.
2. Reduce damage
When brushing with an ordinary toothbrush, the force used is controlled by the user himself. Sometimes it is unavoidable to brush with too much force, or to use an incorrect saw type horizontal brush, which will cause damage to teeth and gums.
3. Deep cleaning
The electric toothbrush generates high-frequency vibration through rapid rotation of the brush head, instantly decomposes the toothpaste into fine foam, and deeply cleans the teeth; At the same time, the vibration of the bristles can promote the blood circulation in the mouth and have an unexpected massage effect on the gingival tissue.
how to use the electric toothbrush correctly
Hold the brush handle gently with your fingers, first put the brush head into your mouth, and then turn on the switch, so that the bristles are at a certain angle and placed at the junction of teeth and gums. In a fixed position, gently rotate and vibrate the brush head for a few seconds, and then change the position. Pay attention to covering the previous position every time, and no part can be omitted.
Remember to reach all parts, including the inner and chewing surfaces of the teeth, and the back of the posterior teeth. Guide the brush head to move along the gum line, and the toothbrush can complete the whole process of brushing teeth without pressing or rubbing. Ensure a brushing time of at least 2 minutes, and effectively clean the inner, outer and occlusal surfaces of each row of teeth, especially the lingual surface of the lower teeth, which is the most difficult to clean and easy to be missed. It must be cleaned consciously.
Replace the brush head every 3 months. After using the brush head for a period of time, the bristles will become rough and easy to damage the gums. Experiments have shown that the new brush head can remove 30% more dental plaque than the brush head after 3 months of use.
However, electric toothbrushes are not suitable for everyone
Now electric toothbrushes are more and more popular with consumers, but it is worth mentioning that if the electric toothbrush is not operated properly, it will also cause damage to teeth. Stomatologists suggest that it is better to brush up and down, that is, vertically, while the vibration frequency and strength of the electric toothbrush are relatively fixed. When rotating, it is similar to horizontal brushing on the tooth surface, which may cause certain wear on the teeth, and even cause periodontitis in serious cases. If the teeth themselves are not good, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, it is best not to choose an electric toothbrush.
