Hotel toothbrush toothache

Nowadays, the electric toothbrush has become more and more popular, and the number of users has gradually increased, but some disputes about its tooth injury have followed. Meng Hao has been writing oral care blog for four or five years. Recently, fans often ask me, does the electric toothbrush hurt my teeth? Why do you always feel toothache? You might as well use an ordinary toothbrush! I think it is necessary to talk to you rationally about the question "why it hurts to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush". On the one hand, I will compare the difference between electric toothbrush and ordinary toothbrush, on the other hand, I will take stock of the three hazards and disadvantages of electric toothbrush for you with the advice of the dentist!

First, the advantages of electric toothbrush analysis

Answering "Why does it hurt to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush?" I want to talk to you about the recognized advantages of electric toothbrush. After all, it is a good thing recommended by the dentist:

1, the cleaning power of electric toothbrush is dozens of times that of manual brushing.

Among the recognized advantages of electric toothbrush, the most popular one is its good cleaning ability. Its working principle is that through the rapid rotation of the motor, the brush head produces high-frequency vibration, which instantly decomposes the toothpaste into fine foam and deeply cleans the teeth. According to the experimental analysis, its cleaning power is dozens of times that of manual brushing!

2. The impact stability experience of electric toothbrush is more comfortable.

As far as the measured experience is concerned, the qualified electric toothbrush will not have different thicknesses of ordinary toothbrushes, and the strength is stable and uniform. As long as it is placed on the teeth in a correct posture, it can achieve good cleaning power, and when brushing teeth, it can achieve dozens of times of cleaning power by reducing the strength by 60% compared with ordinary toothbrushes. When you brush your teeth, you will feel itchy at first, and you will feel addicted after you get used to it.

3. It is faster to have a timing function.

When we brush our teeth manually, it is controlled by individuals, so it varies from person to person, which will lead to some problems: poor cleaning, excessive gum bleeding, not brushing all our teeth in time and so on! Sometimes you have to open your mouth hard after brushing your teeth, and you may tear your mouth if you are not careful. The electric toothbrush can complete excellent cleaning in only 2 minutes, which is more balanced and scientific, and basically every tooth can be cleaned.

Second, analyze the three hazards and disadvantages of electric toothbrush.

In the above article, I taught you many benefits of electric toothbrush, which is why it can be recommended by many dentists. However, the popularity of the market has also spawned many chaos, such as the problem of tooth injury that plagues many people.

Why does brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush hurt? The following figure is an analysis of the causes of tooth injuries of 542 users of electric toothbrushes published by authoritative statistical agencies, from which we can clearly find the problems that lead to tooth injuries, toothache and bleeding:

1, too strong cleaning power leads to toothache and hides chronic tooth damage.

In order to cater to consumers, electric toothbrushes blindly increase the vibration frequency and other styles. Because of its strong cleaning power and unstable vibration, it is easy to cause the problem of tooth bleeding, which is also an important reason for toothache and dentin allergy. And it will also cause hidden long-term chronic damage, because it has a strong concealment, and it may take half a year or even years to be discovered. Teeth and gums are gradually unable to support in chronic wear, and the existing dental diseases will continue to deteriorate, and I am afraid it will be irreparable when it is discovered.

The following case is a typical user spit:

2, the bristles are too hard or the grinding rate is insufficient, resulting in frequent bleeding.

If the toothbrush bristles are too hard, they often collide with teeth and gums, which may easily lead to symptoms such as gingival atrophy and bleeding, and may even lead to more sensitive gums and cracked teeth. Some users think that the toothbrush with bristles can better remove dental plaque and calculus, and the cleanliness is higher, but don't forget that the gums are soft, and excessive friction will hurt them! After all, we should protect our dental health first.

There are too many hidden dangers of low-priced and inferior electric toothbrushes.

There are many cavity problems in China, and the proportion of people suffering from gingivitis, dental caries, periodontitis and dentin hypersensitivity is as high as 90% (as shown below). In this case, if you are still greedy for cheap, using those inferior and low-priced products will only make the damage to your teeth more serious. Many inferior electric toothbrushes have unstable vibration frequency and inferior brush heads, which will only lead to the deterioration of dental problems.

Three, four selection criteria of electric toothbrush

1. The higher the earthquake frequency, the better, 28,000-38,000 times per minute.

Choosing a toothbrush with appropriate power can basically avoid 70% injuries. My suggestion is that the vibration frequency is 28,000-38,000 times per minute. At the same time, it should be noted that the tooth cavity is a dynamic environment, and sometimes it needs to be used with different gears.

2. China people are more suitable for soft hair.

The bristles are too soft to be used as bristles for electric toothbrushes, and the bristles are too hard to cause tooth damage, so it is better to choose soft bristles. However, users with big teeth problems should consult a dentist first. It doesn't hurt to be cautious.

Don't blindly start with international brands.

Many brands, especially international brands, are promoting their good experience in protecting gums and teeth. In fact, few people can do it. After you get them, you will find that their cleaning power and shocking power are still very strong. This is because they are set for European and American users and are not suitable for domestic users.

Let's take a look at the following picture, which is a test chart of cleaning power and comfort of 30 electric toothbrushes in a well-known evaluation room. It can clearly distinguish which one can really be achieved, and at the same time, it can maintain a good experience of protecting gums and teeth:

So I suggest you give priority to high-quality domestic brands, which are more suitable for Chinese people! For example, Le Fei electric toothbrush, which I have been using, used to be a powerful provider of dental technical solutions, and was famous for its high tooth injury rate of international brands. With good cleaning power, it can reduce 80% of brushing injuries, and is specially optimized for long-term chronic tooth injuries that are not easy to detect! Eight black technologies, such as its recognized vibration frequency technology and 94.3% ultra-high grinding rate, are very powerful, which greatly reduces the rate of tooth damage, so it is actively recommended by many professional dentists!

In addition, Roman, Chinese businessman and usmile in domestic products are also brands with good strength, especially their designs have their own characteristics, and a large number of products with rich color matching and unique design elements have been launched for female groups.

4. You can't just stare at the configuration parameters.

If you only focus on the configuration parameter table, you will find that whether it is motor selection, waterproof or battery life, it is similar. Those key technologies and quality processes are difficult to be reflected in the specific parameter table, and they can't be distinguished from the so-called big brands produced by those foundries from the outside. So I strongly suggest that you give priority to buying brands that support the 7-day trial, and then decide whether to start. As for those who are arrogant and don't support for 7 days for no reason, don't buy them!

How to brush your teeth correctly to avoid toothache?

If you choose the right electric toothbrush, you can't brush your teeth indiscriminately. If you want to avoid toothache, you should try to take better care of your teeth according to the Pap brushing method.

Many people think that using an electric toothbrush also requires hard brushing, but it is not necessary. Put the electric toothbrush into the gingival sulcus at a 45-degree angle, start the switch, and gently move the bristles against the tooth surface. Let the bristles vibrate quickly and automatically in the gingival sulcus, and play a role in removing dental plaque in the gingival sulcus. Move the toothbrush back and forth from the front teeth to the back teeth, and then brush the occlusal surface. Do this in turn from top to bottom, don't let go of a tooth! How often do you brush your teeth? Raise it once in the morning and once in the evening. Not too often. You should choose the gear and brush head that suits you, especially the brush head. It is safe to choose food-grade safe grinding.

Why does brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush hurt? Meng Hao has given you a very detailed answer. Generally speaking, the advantages of electric toothbrush outweigh the disadvantages, and it is also a personal care project recommended by many dentists. But after all, it is the first time for many people to come into contact with it, and with the poor dental health of Chinese people, it is easy to have some tooth injuries, so you must polish your eyes when choosing, and pay special attention to its experience of protecting gums and teeth, instead of just staring at cleaning power!
