Dental care is an important step in protecting your health. In which, choosing the right toothbrush suitable for your age and oral health is essential. Nowadays many people talk about electric toothbrush and there are many compliments. So this type of brush is good for teeth as rumor?
First, we need to understand the purpose of daily brushing.
Brushing is the act of using a toothbrush to remove food, soft plaque remaining around the teeth and in the mouth.
Toothpaste acts to neutralize the acid produced by bacteria fermenting the remaining food in the mouth.
Combining both factors above will help eliminate the risk of tooth decay, gingivitis …
The traditional conventional toothbrush is a simple toothbrush with no power source. With a variety of designs and colors, the price is relatively suitable for everyone.
How is the electric toothbrush different from traditional toothbrushes?
Electronic toothbrush first appeared in the US in 1938, and made a very special mark in the field of oral hygiene care.
This type of brush has a fast-moving and fully automatic head.
The toothbrush head can be rotated back and forth on its own, or rotated to help clean teeth effectively.
The brush body will be designed to charge the rotating motor with rechargeable batteries or primary batteries.
In the market we have many choices from simple mechanical movements, to the form of using sound waves to clean teeth.
@According to dental experts, the electronic toothbrush can be useful for some subjects such as
- Children
- Difficult hand maneuvers
- People are braces
- And people with a habit of being lazy to brush their teeth
Some advantages and disadvantages can be compared between these 2 brushes:
