Is children electric toothbrush really good to tooth?

I believe that many parents have doubts about this, don't worry, today to give you an in-depth analysis of this problem.First look at the principle of electric toothbrush and the difference with the ordinary toothbrush on electric toothbrush, was once very popular in recent years, there is no denying that it is more convenient manual toothbrush, although the objective is clean, but the power source is different, one open by electricity, and electric toothbrush bristles with tooth surface by internal electric actuator multipoint contact the work,Or rotate or vibrate, and can adjust different frequency to clean the tooth surface, will be more comprehensive, thorough, some areas are difficult to brush with a manual toothbrush.For clearing dental plaque, prevention of dental caries and periodontitis effect is very good!However, this is based on the proper use of electric toothbrushes.If used incorrectly, not only does it not have positive effects, but it can worsen certain diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.

Can children use electric toothbrushes?In foreign countries, many children have been using electric toothbrushes since they learned to brush their teeth. Should our children be able to do the same?We need to analyze this from the overall environment. First of all, oral health awareness in foreign countries is generally strong. There are not only parents who correctly guide their children how to use electric toothbrushes, but also regular oral examination and other preventive measures.But in Our country, many parents are not clear about how to brush teeth correctly, how to teach children to use electric toothbrush correctly?For example, a few days ago, some parents and friends told me: Dr. Wang, our child is still using an electric toothbrush at the age of four and a half. She brushes her teeth twice a day, and I floss her teeth every day. Why does she still have tooth decay?This parent's child had problems because he was using his electric toothbrush the wrong way.The child is too young but has strong imitation ability, so she can only learn its shape and cannot understand its meaning. When the child brushes her teeth, because the toothbrush moves by herself, she ignores the movements of her hands and simply puts the electric toothbrush on the tooth surface to clean her teeth, resulting in incomplete cleaning between teeth and the lingual side.Of course, this does not mean that children should not use electric toothbrushes, but if they do want to use electric toothbrushes, they should pay attention to:Before the age of five children try not to use, after five years of age of the child must be a long fully guided correctly use at home, parents can help generation brush at the beginning, after a long time can let the children try to practice using, parents have the guidance and in the process of inspection, generally lead to around 6 to 7 years old, this age can try to relax,Everything depends on the actual situation.

If the child is 1-6 years old, the use of electric toothbrush may damage the gums, if the child is 6 years old or more, you can choose to choose the electric toothbrush with low power, small brush head, soft bristles, brush head and handle integration.
