What are the benefits of children's electric toothbrushes

Nowadays, an ordinary toothbrush may be used for more than a month before the bristles of the toothbrush are separated in the middle. This is caused by using too much force or improper method. Electric toothbrushes have only appeared in recent years and are not very popular at present, but there are still many people who use them. Moreover, compared with ordinary toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes are more scientific and can remove tartar more thoroughly, reduce gum bleeding, clean deeply between teeth, and promote blood circulation in the oral cavity.

It is difficult to get children to brush their teeth consciously. Firstly, they don’t like to brush, and secondly, they can’t brush well. As a result, cartoon-shaped electric toothbrushes appeared on the market to help children better master the method of brushing their teeth. Using an electric toothbrush can help them clean their teeth better, but if the electric toothbrush remains on the surface of one or two teeth for a long time, it will not only easily cause damage to the periodontal tissue, but also wear out the tooth enamel.

Preschool children are in a critical period of tooth growth and tooth replacement, and their teeth and periodontal tissues are relatively tender. Therefore, experts recommend that children under 10 years old should not use electric toothbrushes. If they must use them, they should try to choose electric toothbrushes with soft bristles, small brush heads, low power, and integrated brush heads and handles. When brushing, tell your child to keep the brush head on all teeth. Generally, children under 3 years old should brush their teeth within 1.5 minutes each time, and children aged 4 to 5 years old should brush their teeth for about 2 minutes. And the brush head or toothbrush should be replaced every 3 months.

Therefore, electric toothbrushes can help children learn to brush their teeth more effectively and protect their teeth better. Moreover, children’s oral structure is different from that of adults, so electric toothbrushes designed for children can also massage the gums, remove bacteria and food residues around the teeth, and help children develop better brushing habits.
