Don't worry about the vibration of the electric toothbrush will let the teeth loose

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and consumers' awareness of oral protection, the demand for the electric toothbrush market has gradually released. Ou Rui International data shows that the size of the electric toothbrush market in 2021 has reached 9.015 billion yuan. Sound waves, ultrasonic, sensitive models, gingival protection mode ... In the market, major brands have developed electric toothbrushes with different functions to meet consumer diversified needs. These nursing philosophy not only starts from the root cause, advocate the importance of dental protection, but also takes into account the electric toothbrushes pursued by contemporary young people to the pursuit of the oral "aesthetics" are suitable for everyone? In the face of a variety of electric toothbrushes in the market, how should consumers choose?

Behind the "sound waves" is the vibration of brushing hair, and the human "brushing history" has undergone a transition from hand cleansing to tool cleaning. With the advancement of science and technology, toothbrushes are constantly being updated, and the appearance of electric toothbrushes has attracted the entry of brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Haier. When I browsed the electric toothbrush products on Taobao, the author found that the names of the basic products are "sound waves" and "ultrasonic waves". Many consumers have questioned: "Does the electric toothbrush use sound waves to brush your teeth?"

The author learned that the customer service staff of the official flagship store in Philips learned that the electric toothbrush was not actually used to brush the teeth with sound waves, but to clean the teeth with a bristles similar to sound wave vibration.

So what is the frequency of general sound wave electric toothbrush vibration?

The shop customer service staff introduced to the author: the frequency of electric toothbrushes on the market is 20,000-45,000 times/minute, and most of the electric toothbrushes are concentrated at 30000-35,000 times/minute. The speed of humans using ordinary toothbrushes is 3-6 times/s, that is, 180-360 times/minute. This number compares that the vibration frequency of electric toothbrushes is 100-250 times the speed of human handle.

"Is the vibration frequency so high, will the teeth be loose?" "Can the teeth of the elderly and children 'fragile' be used by electric toothbrushes?" ... Facing electric toothbrushes with high vibration frequencies, consumers use their safe and purchasing methods for them. There are also many doubts.

Dr. Wang Lu, director of the Outpatient Clinic of San De Sakura, said that compared with traditional manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes are more labor -saving, and they are also suitable for people of all ages, especially those who use traditional manual tooth brushes to not clean their teeth. There is great help. Moreover, in the case of oral environment health, the elderly and children do not have to worry about the vibration of the electric toothbrush that will loosen the teeth. This type of group uses electric tooth brushes to brush teeth but saves effort and cleans.

Regarding the phenomenon of some consumers using electric tooth brushes to brush teeth, Wang Lu explained: "On the one hand, the user may be too hard to brush the gums when brushing his teeth. On the other hand, it may be the user's gums itself. Inflammation leads to bleeding. But no matter what kind of reason, if people can use bleeding during the use of electric toothbrushes, they can be suspended for a period of time and replaced them back to traditional manual tooth brushes. ","

Although electric toothbrushes are suitable for people in all ages, consumers still need to buy according to their own characteristics. Wang Lu suggested that consumers can choose from the aspects of the frequency of toothbrush vibration and the size of the brush head. For consumers with complicated oral environment and daily diet, products with fast vibration frequency can be selected. Such products have stronger cleaning capabilities. For adults with large oral space, you can choose a large brush head, and women and children with small oral space can choose a small brush head. In addition, consumers can also choose the bristles of the brush head according to the degree of personal gum sensitivity. The round bristles can better protect the gums from being scratched by sharp parts. It is more comfortable to use, reducing the occurrence of gum bleeding during use.
