In fact, electric toothbrushes do have great advantages over ordinary toothbrushes. They are more convenient to use, and can effectively control the force to prevent gum damage, etc. In addition, they can bring certain fun to children. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the question of whether electric toothbrushes are easy to use.

Is an electric toothbrush good?

Electric toothbrushes are new products that have appeared in recent years and have set off a revolution in the field of oral health abroad. Although the application of electric toothbrushes is not yet popular in our country, some people have predicted that it will become an important member of mass health products. Surveys show that electric toothbrushes are more scientific and effective than ordinary toothbrushes. It can remove dental plaque more thoroughly, reduce gingivitis and gum bleeding, and is also a popular daily necessity in many European and American countries. The electric toothbrush rotates rapidly, causing the brush head to produce high-frequency vibrations, instantly breaking down the toothpaste into fine foam and deeply cleaning the gaps between teeth. At the same time, the vibration of the bristles can promote blood circulation in the mouth and have an unexpected massage effect on the gum tissue.

Introduction

There are two types of electric toothbrushes: plug-in and battery-powered. Compared with traditional manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes are driven by electricity, and the brush head moves at a speed of thousands or even tens of thousands of times per minute, which is much more efficient than manual toothbrushes. However, it also has higher requirements for the bristles to prevent damage to the gums during brushing. With the improvement of technology, electric toothbrushes are divided into many types. The general ones rely on vibration and rotation to clean teeth. There are also some high-end ones equipped with ultrasonic instruments that rely on pulses and water sprays to clean teeth. The ordinary electric toothbrushes that sell for dozens of yuan on the market now simply vibrate and rotate, with a very high frequency and force, which are fixed. Ultrasonic toothbrushes generally do not cause harm to teeth and gums, and can clean teeth very well, but they are expensive.

Six advantages

1. Cleaning ability---It is difficult for traditional toothbrushes to completely remove dental plaque. In addition, improper brushing methods will greatly reduce the cleaning effect of brushing. Experiments have shown that electric toothbrushes remove 38% more plaque than manual toothbrushes, and their cleaning ability has been unanimously recognized by oral experts. 2. Comfortable feeling---Incorrect brushing method often causes pain to our gums. The slight vibration generated by the high-speed rotation of the electric toothbrush can not only promote blood circulation in the oral cavity, but also has an unexpected massage effect on the gum tissue. This comfortable feeling can only be understood after experiencing it personally. 3. Fun feeling---This is not only applicable to many children who don’t like brushing their teeth, but also to adults. Since electric toothbrushes are much larger than traditional toothbrushes, more effort needs to be put into their appearance. Watching a "sports car" "running" back and forth in front of your mouth, brushing your teeth naturally becomes a pleasure. 4. Reduce damage---When brushing your teeth with an ordinary toothbrush, the force used is controlled by the user. Sometimes it is inevitable to brush too hard or use an incorrect sawing horizontal brushing method, which will cause damage to the teeth and gums. Experiments have shown that electric toothbrushes can reduce brushing force by about 60%, reduce the frequency of gingivitis and bleeding gums by 62%, and make the brushing process safer and more effective. 5. Whitening and beautiful---Electric toothbrushes can effectively reduce tooth stains caused by drinking tea, coffee and poor oral conditions, and restore the original color of teeth. Moreover, this adjustment does not take effect immediately, but is carried out gradually with daily brushing and will not cause any damage to the teeth themselves. 6. Easy to use---People do not have much energy and strength before going to bed or when getting up in the morning, so they cannot guarantee the time and standard of brushing teeth, which will naturally greatly reduce the effect of dental care. Electric toothbrushes can solve this problem very well. The automatically rotating brush head and the overall ergonomic design ensure that brushing is effective and convenient. It is so convenient to use that brushing your teeth becomes easy and it is also easy to develop good habits.

Buying Tips

1. First consider whether the size of the electric brush head is suitable. The electric brush heads for children and adults are different. Choose the brush head that suits you based on personal usage habits, degree of mouth opening, mouth size and other factors. As for the bristles on the toothbrush, some people like them to be softer, while others like them to be harder. Choose the appropriate brush head according to your personal preference. 2. The more times the toothbrush rotates per minute, the stronger its cleaning ability is. High-speed electric toothbrushes can even reach 30,000 times per minute, but they will be relatively expensive. In addition to the speed, there is also the option of intensity. Multiple intensity options help you choose the best brushing intensity. 3. A versatile choice of electric toothbrushes. Today's electric toothbrushes not only have the function of cleaning teeth, but also help treat gingivitis, relieve gum redness and swelling, and set the brushing timer. It also provides oral health information and many other functions. Whether you need these functions can also be selected according to personal needs. 4. Charging method: Electric toothbrushes come in many types, including direct-charge, battery-charged, and hybrid. Choose an electric toothbrush based on how convenient it is to charge it in your bathroom. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth for at least 2 minutes each time to effectively remove oral bacteria. The combination of automatic and manual brushing of an electric toothbrush can maximize the cleaning purpose.

How to use

1. Install the brush head and put the brush head tightly into the toothbrush shaft until the brush head and the metal shaft are buckled. 2. Use warm water to adjust the softness of the bristles: warm water: soft; cold water: moderate; ice water: slightly hard. It is strongly recommended that first-time users soak the brush in warm water (below 40°C) before use! Since more than 95% of people in China suffer from periodontal disease, their gums are more sensitive. The bristles will be very soft after soaking in warm water, and it feels very comfortable to brush. After using it 2 to 5 times to get used to it, the hardness of the bristles can be determined according to your preference. 3. How to squeeze toothpaste: Can be used with any leading brand of toothpaste. Aim the toothpaste vertically at the center of the bristles and squeeze in an appropriate amount of toothpaste. To avoid toothpaste splashing, it is best to squeeze the toothpaste before turning on the power. 4. How to brush your teeth effectively: When brushing your teeth, insert the three-sided brush head into the thinnest front teeth. Let your teeth be clamped between the three-sided bristles and pull them back and forth with moderate force. After the toothpaste has foamed, turn on the electric switch, and after the brush head vibrates, apply moderate force, moving the toothbrush back and forth from the front teeth to the back teeth to clean all the teeth! Generally speaking, it only takes two minutes to brush your teeth thoroughly with a three-sided electric toothbrush. 5. How to use a tongue scraper: After brushing your teeth, it is best to use the tongue scraper on the back of the brush head to scrape off the tongue coating to achieve the effect of thoroughly cleaning the tongue. 6. To avoid foam splashing, please turn off the toothbrush before taking it out of your mouth. How to clean the toothbrush bristles: After brushing your teeth each time, put the brush head in water, turn on the electric switch, shake it gently a few times, and then tap the brush head to wash away foreign matter and toothpaste remaining on the bristles. 7. During the first few days of use, charge the battery for 24 hours. 8. Install the brush head: Align the protruding rubber strip on the brush head with the groove on the brush handle, and slide the brush head into the brush handle; turn the brush head nut clockwise until it is tightly fastened to the brush handle. 9. Although electric toothbrushes have a good cleaning effect, it is best not to use them on preschool children under the age of 7. Children under the age of 7 are in a critical period of tooth growth and tooth replacement, and their teeth and periodontal tissues are relatively immature. Compared with ordinary toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes have fixed vibration frequency and strength. If children use them improperly, such as using too much force or using a certain part for too long, it may cause damage to the periodontal tissue. It is best to consult a professional dentist for specific matters.

After reading the answer to the question of whether electric toothbrushes are easy to use as detailed above, I believe that you all already know the benefits of electric toothbrushes. Electric toothbrushes are indeed better than ordinary toothbrushes, but you must pay attention to skills and methods when purchasing them. You must learn to choose the electric toothbrush that is most suitable for you and your children based on your personal situation. In addition, you must also make a choice based on the functions of the toothbrush.
