Can electric toothbrushes really hurt your gums?

I think I can speak for myself. I started using electric toothbrushes when I was about 10 years old, and I've been using electric toothbrushes for most of the time since I was in my 30s.The electric toothbrush used is mainly sonic type, and the electric toothbrush used frequently in the past five years.I wash my teeth once a year, and the teeth are in good condition. There is no decay or other problems, and the periodontal is also fine. It can be seen that the gums will not be hurt after such a long time of use.If you start flossing with water, your gums may bleed from the floss, but you'll be fine after a while.If you use an electric toothbrush, a red light will come on to remind you to brush your teeth more gently. As you get used to it, you will find that the intensity of your electric toothbrush is relatively light.For the purchase of electric toothbrush, I suggest that you do not spend the money, buy the basic money.The redundant functions of high-end electric toothbrush, such as super cleaning, massage, sensitive, strong, medium and weak, are useless. These redundant functions can only be used in a vulgar word, the new pit pit smell three days, you will not use when using daily.Buy electric toothbrushes as many times as the number of people who use them at home, and avoid switching heads.There is a very fine like a pen like sonic electric toothbrush when you buy, also want to pay attention to, the battery is not durable, charge the second charge is used for 2 to 3 days, may feel more annoying.The brush head of electric toothbrush is more expensive than ordinary toothbrush. When I travel abroad, I usually see that there is a big package of toothbrush head, more than 4 in a box, and the price is much cheaper than in China.The recommended amount is four per person per year, and don't bring too many in case your electric toothbrush body dies and you get confused.

Now let's take a look at the correct steps to use an electric toothbrush.

1. The toothbrush head is installed on the electric toothbrush, take a small amount of toothpaste on the brush head and wet, pay attention to put into the mouth and then start the toothbrush, so as not to splash the toothpaste.

2. Refer to the Pap brushing method.Note that when brushing the side of the tooth, the head of the electric toothbrushes should be at a 45-degree Angle to the gingival crevice and move slowly along the gingival line without pressing hard.

3. The mouth is divided into four teeth interval, each tooth interval brush 30s, the whole mouth teeth brush enough for 2 minutes.Some electric toothbrushes are set with 30s and 2-minute reminders, which are more convenient to use.

In fact, for ordinary people in China, it is not easy to clean teeth effectively. As for the various modes of electric toothbrush, I think one is the standard for perfectionists, and the other is to make brushing more fun, so as to ensure the cleanliness of brushing.
