Brushing your teeth is the most important way to prevent oral diseases, and a good toothbrush can do more with less. So, how should we choose the toothbrush that suits us?
The most popular toothbrushes on the market are traditional manual toothbrushes. They are low-cost, can be replaced freely at any time, and are portable. They are very suitable for use when traveling. However, traditional toothbrushes also have shortcomings, such as inadequate cleaning and easy damage to the gums, which also cause headaches.
At this time, electric toothbrushes came into being, they have strong cleaning ability, and can freely control the brushing time according to the gums of each person, which is also very labor-saving to use. But many people are worried: The electric toothbrush is so big and moving, will it hurt the gums?
Cleaning ability
The strength and technique of traditional toothbrushes varies from person to person, so it is often impossible to clean a lot of dead spots in the mouth. The electric toothbrush can remove about 38% more plaque than traditional toothbrushes, and its cleaning ability has been recognized by most oral experts.
From this aspect, the electric toothbrush has a better cleaning ability than the traditional toothbrush when the method is correct.
2. Functionality
Electric toothbrushes can adjust gears and brushing time according to their own habits, which is beyond the reach of traditional toothbrushes.
Most people can't reach the standard requirement of 3-5 minutes when brushing their teeth with a traditional toothbrush;
3. Comfort
When you brush your teeth with a traditional toothbrush, it is likely to cause some damage to the oral cavity due to improper strength. In particular, the pull-type horizontal brush method that is commonly used by many people is more likely to cause serious damage to teeth and gums.
If you use an electric toothbrush, the intensity can be adjusted by yourself, which can reduce the occurrence of damage by at least 60%.
Whether to choose a traditional toothbrush or an electric toothbrush depends on our own situation.
