Whether or not to recommend electric toothbrushes depends on the purpose of use.

For most people, dentists still support the use of electric toothbrushes, but only a few people do not recommend the use of electric toothbrush, such as orthodontics, dental prosthetics, etc.The reason is actually very simple, in case of improper use of the orthotic to brush down, it will bring a lot of trouble.Although ordinary toothbrushes are inexpensive and easy to use, they also have some disadvantages.

1. Compare to electric toothbrush ,regular toothbrushes are less efficient than electric toothbrushes.Currently, the internationally recognized effective brushing method is Bass brushing, also known as gingival crevicular dissection or horizontal tremor, which is recommended by the American Dental Association as an effective method to remove plaque near the gingival margin and in the gingival crevicular. The internationally recognized Pap brushing method requires us to brush with electric toothbrush for at least two minutes.Modern people can sleep an extra minute in the morning without getting up half a minute earlier.In this case, brushing time has been "ignored" and squeezed, rush to work in the morning, often in a hurry to "brush through", 30 seconds to cope with the type have.Some people don't even have the habit of brushing with electric toothbrushes at night.As time goes by, our dental calculus will be more and more, when you go to see a doctor, it has been very serious, and even further developed into periodontitis.

2. Do not use electric toothbrush to use ordinary toothbrush is prone to wrong way of brushing but not brush enough time is safe, there is a "self-harm" method of brushing is easier to form, is also very common - "see-saw" brush (horizontal brush)."See-saw" not only can not electric toothbrush brush the teeth clean, but also easy to cause fragile teeth, especially for the hard tissue of the tooth (enamel, dentin) and periodontal soft tissue (gum, periodontal) damage is very large, "injured" teeth are easy to be "eroded", the gum is easy to feel pain in the face of stimulating food.In addition, we not only need to pay attention to the time and Angle of brushing teeth, but also need to master the strength of brushing teeth, electric toothbrush can achieve these functions.This brings us to what we call the second drawback of using a regular toothbrush than electric toothbrush -- "overexertion."When we brush our teeth manually, it is difficult to grasp the severity of the strength, and the strength is "large and small" occasionally "depending on the mood".Too much pressure, combined with hard bristles, can accelerate the development of wedge-shaped defects, electric toothbrush mainly in the neck of the tooth, near the gums.In my practice, I have seen cases where the enamel cover is defective, or the gums receded and the unglazed root is exposed, and you see a lateral piece of the tooth body missing.This brings us to what we call the second drawback of using a regular toothbrush -- "overexertion."When we brush our teeth manually, it is difficult to grasp the intensity of the weight, and the electric toothbrush will not, the intensity of "when big or small" occasionally "depends on the mood".Too much pressure, combined with hard bristles, can accelerate the development of wedge-shaped defects, mainly in the neck of the tooth, near the gums.In my practice, I have seen cases where the enamel cover is defective, or the gums receded and the unglazed root is exposed, and they see a lateral piece of the tooth missing, so they have to protect their teeth with an acoustic electric toothbrush.
