Some questions and answers about electric toothbrushes

  Answer the hot questions in the last issue of electric toothbrush.  Q1: Can children use adult electric toothbrushes?  A: No, except for the different brush heads, the vibration strength of the children’s model is about 60% of the adult model, the gentle mode is about 40% of the adult model, and the sensitive mode of the adult model is about 80% of the strength of the normal mode, the weakest is stronger than the children’s model. In addition, Philips’ children’s models have pressure-sensitive, children will be too hard to stop the rotation, to better protect the gums.  Q2: electric toothbrush handle rubber mold how to do?  A: handle mold can be soaked in bleach to remove stains, usually best to hang up (such as with a wash bag) as little as possible in a humid environment.  Q3: Why only introduce 2 brands?  A: First of all, these two brands are widely recognized for their popularity, professionalism and technical precipitation. Personally, I am cautious about domestic electric toothbrushes (including those of Omron and Panasonic). Because the electric toothbrush is considered a niche high-tech products, oral care equipment with medical equipment, the technical barriers are quite thick. For example, waterpik’s flosser enjoys the patent of water pressure pulse type, so whether it is Panasonic or Philips can only use their own air injection technology to break through. Of course, I also want to support the progress of domestic technology, but electric toothbrushes, whether domestic or imported relative to the price of manual are not cheap, many people in the money spent after not achieving their desired results think that the electric toothbrush is generally not strong practicality, which leads to the wrong understanding to give up using electric toothbrushes. This is the reason I do not recommend brands other than Oral B and Philips. From the majority of this site’s sunshine list, domestic Lipo X in an effort to learn to catch up, but the technology and workmanship at this stage is far from the desired effect. If the teeth are healthy, it is recommended to use the mechanical type of large brands in the same price range, if the teeth are really bad, more need a technically perfect product to care.  Q4: Can electric toothbrushes remove tartar and stop bleeding?  A: Tartar is the calcification of dental plaque, once formed it cannot be removed by brushing. It is recommended to go to the hospital for scaling as soon as possible. Most of the bleeding is caused by periodontal disease, so toothpaste toothbrushes are cleaning products and cannot achieve therapeutic effect.
