As an oral care blogger, it is my daily routine to popularize oral science knowledge to my fans and friends. Of course, I will also recommend oral cleaning tools to everyone, such as children's electric toothbrushes, which is my main topic recently. Because the rate of tooth decay among children today is too high. If oral care is not taken as early as possible, it will affect oral health. However, we are worried about the risk of tooth damage caused by choosing the wrong electric toothbrush. So what are the precautions for children's electric toothbrushes? This is the most frequently asked and troubling question I receive from parents backstage. Today I will give parents a popular science guide on this topic.
1. First check whether the child is suitable for using an electric toothbrush.
What are the precautions for children's electric toothbrushes? Parents should first check whether their children can use electric toothbrushes. The following children are not suitable for use:
html Babies under 11.3 years old cannot use it when their deciduous teeth have sprouted. htmlBabies under the age of 13 have not yet fully grown in deciduous teeth, and their teeth are immature and have low tolerance. Using an electric toothbrush can easily irritate the teeth and gums, causing damage to the teeth.
. Children whose tooth root development is slower than that of their peers cannot use it. Different children develop at different speeds. Parents can compare the development of children of the same age. If there is obvious developmental delay, it cannot be used.
. Children with serious tooth decay cannot use it. Some children already have severe tooth decay, large areas of caries, and the teeth have turned black, affecting chewing and eating. Electric toothbrushes cannot be used. It is recommended to use them after dental fillings and treatment.
What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? It is not recommended for children in the above situations. In addition, other babies, children and children are suitable for using electric toothbrushes, and electric toothbrushes can also bring these benefits to their mouths:
. Clean the blind areas of the mouth. Manual toothbrushes cannot clean the blind areas of the mouth, such as the occlusal surfaces of deciduous molars, pits and fissures, and adjacent surfaces of deciduous molars, which are prone to tooth decay. Children using electric toothbrushes can clean in all directions, cover blind areas of the mouth, eliminate dental plaque and prevent tooth decay. Here I would like to remind some parents not to pay attention to the cleaning and care of deciduous teeth because their children will have new teeth anyway, because once the roots of deciduous teeth are decayed, it will affect the development of future permanent teeth!
. Vibrates evenly to protect gums. Babies cannot control the intensity of brushing their teeth with a manual toothbrush and may easily injure themselves. The electric toothbrush is adjusted to vibrate evenly, cleaning better and protecting the gums.
. The learning threshold is low. Children's hand muscles are still developing, so it is difficult to learn the Pap brushing method . It is easy to become impatient when using a manual toothbrush. With an electric toothbrush, you only need to move the area to clean efficiently, and the learning threshold is low.
. Highly interesting. The electric toothbrush is like a vibrating toy that can attract the baby's attention. Parents can also guide them to put on favorite stickers to increase their interest in learning to brush their teeth.
. Save time and effort. Manual toothbrushes are laborious to use, and the time required to clean them properly will extend the brushing time. However, electric toothbrushes have a fixed cleaning time of 2 minutes and a 30-second reminder function to change zones, which not only saves time and effort, but also makes it easier to train children to brush their teeth regularly. Habit.
The above benefits are the reason why everyone chooses electric toothbrushes, but as mentioned at the beginning, if you choose the wrong electric toothbrush for children, there is a risk of tooth damage, such as causing teeth bleeding , toothache, etc. to babies, children and children.
2. Pay attention to the risk of tooth damage when choosing the wrong electric toothbrush for children
My background has also received reports from many parents that their children have suffered the above-mentioned tooth damage when using electric toothbrushes. Regarding this, I also found this from the e-commerce platform. A negative evaluation table, From this we can also see that both manual toothbrushes and electric toothbrushes have the risk of tooth damage, so everyone does not need to be overly nervous.In order to allow everyone to better avoid and choose a truly high-quality electric toothbrush that can effectively prevent tooth decay , I have summarized these risks of tooth damage. Parents, let’s take a look:
Risk 1. Children’s oral cavity develops quickly, so choose Those with a narrow vibration frequency range or a small selection of brush heads are more likely to damage your teeth. What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Children of different ages have different oral development states, so their requirements for vibration frequency and brush heads are also different. When purchasing an electric toothbrush, do not choose a product that only has two modes and one brush head option. It cannot meet the oral development needs of babies, children and children, and may cause tooth damage. What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Choose a product with a wide vibration frequency span and a variety of brush heads to choose from.
Risk 2. Children’s mouths are immature, so choosing products with high vibration frequency can easily damage teeth. Children's mouths are very immature and are more responsive to external stimulation than . If you choose an electric toothbrush with a high vibration frequency, it can easily cause irritation and damage to your teeth. What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Products with too high vibration frequency should be avoided.
Risk 3. Children brush their teeth casually, and choosing products with low error tolerance can easily damage their teeth. Children have unstable control over how hard they brush their teeth. If they brush too hard at will, they can easily injure their teeth. What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Choose products with a high fault tolerance rate so that no matter how much your children brush their teeth, they will not hurt themselves.
Risk 4. Choosing low-priced and low-quality products can easily damage your teeth. What are the precautions for children's electric toothbrushes? Many parents fall into the low-price trap because they are greedy for petty advantages. These low-price products are of poor quality. They use materials such as hollow motors, bristles with low roundness, plastic rotating shafts, etc. They have no cleaning effect and are easy to break. There is also a risk of tooth damage when used. It’s too big to choose.
Risk 5. Following the trend and using Internet celebrity cross-border brands can easily hurt your teeth . The advertising of Internet celebrities and cross-border brands is very fierce, and some parents are easy to follow the trend. However, these two types of brands basically have no oral care experience and technical training experience. Most of their products are OEM production, with vibration frequency and swing. The core parameters of and bristles have not been strictly tested and optimized. They have low compatibility with babies and can easily damage teeth when used. What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Internet celebrities and cross-border products should be rejected.
What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Pay attention to avoid the above-mentioned risks of tooth damage. There are many brands of children's electric toothbrushes on the market now, and most of them are advertised as not harming teeth. However, the rate of tooth damage continues to rise, so you must make more comparisons when purchasing. Blogger I also found the cleaning power and tooth protection index test table of children's electric toothbrushes from the children's dental forum today for your reference. At the same time, I also share with you the high-quality brands I have tested:
Among these brands, from the technical and professional Judging from the scale, Feile does the best. Filix is the only professional gum care and tooth care brand in the industry. It reduces 90% of friction damage under efficient cleaning! is called by many KOLs as a children's electric toothbrush with high error tolerance. Even if children brush their teeth incorrectly, it will not easily hurt their teeth. Feile has many years of experience in oral care. It is the first brand of to create "six-type segmented care" for children. It also provides segmented and targeted care based on children's dental characteristics, and designs multiple types of brush heads to match different stages of children's teeth. And it is the first brand to create a Temin soft brush head. Feile's children's electric toothbrush has a very wide vibration frequency and power range, and is very compatible with children at different dental stages. It is famous for claiming to use 300% technology to beat the high tooth damage rate of international brands. The company has pioneered a number of "no tooth-damaging" technologies, and has made many years of adjustments to hundreds of parameters such as the product's vibration frequency, power, swing and other long-term attenuation, deviation values, and swing angles to achieve within 3-5 years. The deviation value of each adjustment indicator is not higher than 0.1%. The technology has also been optimized for chronically injured teeth that are not easy to detect. I often see recommendations from professionals in dental magazines. Feile is a "professional brand" selected by major authoritative platforms. I highly recognize its professional, rigorous and safe approach to electric toothbrushes as medical products.
(The picture above is some of the children's electric toothbrushes that I have tested as a dental blogger)
In addition, Philips is a well-known electrical appliance brand. They do a good job in small household appliances. The quality is online, the vibration and power are strong, and the cleaning power is as good as Feile almost. However, as a European and American brand, the overall vibration frequency and power range are smaller. is more suitable for European and American children. It has poor dental compatibility for domestic children at different stages and may cause tooth damage.
Another affordable product that many parents want to ask about, I think Bayer can be tried. The basic function experience can satisfy people with low entry requirements, but the core cleaning and tooth protection performance is quite satisfactory and cannot be compared with professional products. Trial is not supported, non-refundable after unpacking, 1-year warranty, and the brush head costs about 80-100 yuan per year.
Both Philips and Feile have the only 2-year warranty in the industry, and Feile supports unpacking and trial use. The brush head is more expensive, costing 100-150 yuan a year. Feile seems to be giving away 5 years for a limited time, which saves money.
In addition to avoiding the risk of tooth damage in advance, below I have also compiled some common IQ taxes that you can avoid when purchasing.
3. What should you pay attention to when purchasing? Avoid common IQ taxes on children's electric toothbrushes
The following is the common IQ tax I compiled after collecting user experience feedback from various channels. Parents, please be careful!
IQ tax 1. Regardless of age group . Babies, children and children have different oral needs at different stages of development. Many children's electric toothbrushes are simply divided into small and large children, and there is no professional subdivision for different age groups. It is easy to be mismatched with users and damage teeth. What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Choose products that can be used by different age groups.
IQ tax 2. The vibration frequency span is narrow and the brush head selection is small . Most of those products that are said to be suitable for older age groups only come with 2 gear mode options and 1 brush head. The vibration frequency span is narrow and there are few brush heads. They cannot meet the needs of children at different developmental stages and can easily damage teeth. What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Avoid products with narrow vibration frequency span and few brush heads.
IQ 3. Functional bristles . Some children's electric toothbrushes claim that the bristles are antibacterial and contain fluoride, but they are actually of no use. What are the things to pay attention to when buying a children's electric toothbrush? It depends on whether the bristles have a high rounding rate, whether the bristles are soft and tough, whether the hair transplanting rate is moderate, etc. are the key points that affect the core experience.
IQ tax 4. Low price products. What are the precautions for children's electric toothbrushes? Once again, we emphasize that low-priced products do not mean high cost-effectiveness. They are difficult to brush, have a short lifespan, and are easy to damage teeth, so avoid them.
IQ tax 5. No refund after opening. Parents should be careful. Those brands that say there is no excuse for 7 days may have hidden conditions, such as not being able to unpack, paying for the brush head, etc. What are the precautions for children's electric toothbrushes? Choose a brand that you can actually try for free, and you can return it if it is not suitable.
IQ tax 6. Advertising does not hurt your teeth . Don't blindly believe in advertisements, just let your children try it out and read other people's reviews before making a judgment.
IQ tax 7. U-shaped toothbrush. This type of toothbrush basically has no vibration or swing, so the cleaning is not clean. In addition, covering a large area of the gums will irritate and damage the teeth. In addition, silicone bristles can also harbor bacteria, so you must not choose them.
IQ tax 8. Follow the trend and choose international brands . Although some international brands make good adult toothbrushes, they lack children's oral care experience and technical training. Some even change the color and brush heads of adult toothbrushes and sell them as children's electric toothbrushes. They are not developed for children, and there is a risk of tooth damage when used. big.What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? Avoid international brands.
IQ tax 9. Coreless motor. The hollow cup motor has strong vibration, short lifespan, and poor user experience. Choose a magnetic levitation motor, which has a more uniform and stable vibration, weaker attenuation, and is more durable.
IQ tax 10: Good looks. There are too many children's electric toothbrushes on the market now that focus on good looks. They rely on their good-looking appearance to attract the public, but in fact the core cleaning and tooth protection performance experience is not satisfactory. What we need to pay attention to is the vibration frequency stability. , vibration frequency span, motor material structure, bristle cutting design, brush head size, hair transplantation rate and other factors that directly affect cleaning and tooth care!
What are the precautions for children’s electric toothbrushes? The above is a comprehensive science popularization for everyone. Again, I would like to remind all parents that when choosing a children’s electric toothbrush for your baby, you must compare multiple aspects, be careful to avoid the IQ tax I listed above, and choose a professional and high-quality product for your child to better maintain oral health.
