Beautiful teeth, unfortunately, not everyone is given by nature. Most of us have to work hard to avoid problems with the teeth. And if you are not the owner of a snow-white smile, pay attention to an electric toothbrush that will help to get closer to the ideal.
How does an electric toothbrush work?
Electric toothbrushes are called, where the bristles vibrate due to the action of the motor. The latter is located in the body of the device and is powered by either batteries or battery. Due to the increased rotation of the brush in a different direction, cleaning of the teeth is much more effective than the usual oral hygiene product. Manufacturers argue that cleaning in this way can replace a similar procedure for a dentist.
But whether an electric toothbrush is harmful is what excites ordinary consumers in the first place. And for these experiences there are all grounds. The fact is that intensive cleaning perfectly removes the remnants of food and plaque, but at the same time can worsen the state of tooth enamel. In addition, people with gum diseases such a device is contraindicated, since the use of an electric brush is dangerous by increasing the inflammatory process. Optimum yield - cleaning with a progressive toothbrush up to 3-4 times a week.
Types of electric tooth brushes
The most popular is the electric sound toothbrush. Because of the high speed of movement of the bristles, sound waves arise that are caught by the ear of a person. More recently, ultrasonic brushes have appeared, in which vibration with a small amplitude of motion occurs, but at a high frequency. The producing sound waves remove bacteria on the teeth even at a distance of 3-5 mm from the bristles. Models for the youngest have a smaller weight, size and degree of brush pressure, as well as a colorful design. To use a children's electric toothbrush is recommended from 4-7 years, not earlier.
