Are electric toothbrushes and mouthwashes really good for your teeth?

With the progress of science and technology and people's attention to the quality of life, a variety of portable electric equipment has entered a period of rapid development.

In this context, the toothbrush has ushered in a new era of technological revolution. On the market today, there are not only "lazy man" electric toothbrushes, but also a variety of anion electric toothbrushes and ultrasonic electric toothbrushes.

Are electric toothbrushes really any better than traditional manual toothbrushes? Or is it just a gimmick to grab profits? The following is an analysis of scientific research to demonstrate the advantages of electric toothbrushes over traditional manual toothbrushes.

Perhaps more and more people are beginning to realize that keeping oral health should be as important as keeping physical health.

Researchers have found the same bacteria that cause periodontitis in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. The more periodontitis bacteria in the brain, the greater the protein-related damage to the brain.

In addition, the team found an increase in brain proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease by injecting the bacteria into the mouths of lab mice.

The finding suggests that periodontitis bacteria may cause Alzheimer's disease, at least in animals that can be confirmed.

However, this is not the first study to link periodontal disease with a variety of serious diseases.

Previous studies have also shown that people with periodontitis are three times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those who maintain a healthy mouth.

Many experts believe that periodontitis bacteria may enter the circulation of the blood in the body, causing infection and activation of the immune system, resulting in arterial blockage and other conditions.

As for whether periodontitis infection can directly cause related serious diseases, there is still no more convincing scientific research results to prove.

But in order to maintain a clean and healthy mouth, we must seriously do a good job of oral health management.

Studies have shown that electric toothbrushes work better than traditional manual ones to maintain oral health.

If you brush your teeth irregularly, it will lead to the deposition of plaque in your mouth.

Dental plaque is full of a variety of bacteria, long-term cleaning is not in place, it is easy to produce periodontitis and dental caries and other problems.

In order to prevent periodontitis and dental caries and other problems, the key is to master the correct knowledge of brushing teeth by electric sonic toothbrush, so as to effectively clean the dental plaque in the mouth.

Electric toothbrushes perform better in this respect than manual toothbrushes.

The study compared the effectiveness of electric sonic toothbrush and manual toothbrushes in the first stage of periodontitis. Specifically, it compared the effectiveness of the two types of toothbrushes in preventing plaque and gingivitis.

After three months, electric toothbrushes reduced plaque by 21% and reduced the risk of gingivitis by 11%, compared with manual toothbrushes. This means that in the long run, using an electric toothbrush may be more effective in preventing plaque and gingivitis."
