Children’s dental health cannot be ignored, and daily cleaning work must be done well. Children’s electric toothbrushes have become one of the daily oral care products. However, the advertisements in the market are dazzling, and I don’t know where to start. Some parents follow the endorsements of celebrities, and Internet celebrities bring goods to buy children’s electric toothbrushes. After using them, they will find that their children will have tooth wear, tooth sensitivity and other tooth damage. . So how should you choose a children’s electric toothbrush?
1. Prefer the magnetic levitation motor
Preference is given to magnetic levitation motors. The motor is very important and is the core of the entire children’s electric toothbrush. The magnetic levitation motor wears less and has a longer life. Some children’s electric toothbrushes worth about 100 yuan use inferior coreless motors, which greatly increases the risk of tooth injury!
2. About 3 gears are more suitable
About 3 gears are more appropriate. Generally, children’s electric toothbrushes have three gears that can basically meet the daily hygiene and care needs. Too many gears make it difficult for children to operate.
3. Wide variety of brush heads
Those who advertise that it is suitable for children aged 3-15, but they provide 1-2 sizes of brush heads, the child’s 3-15 years old such a long dental age, the change is particularly large! So be sure to choose the type of brush head, with rich matching!
4. Choose moderately soft bristles
Too hard bristles are very easy to irritate the teeth and gums, resulting in damage to the teeth, and children will find it uncomfortable to brush their teeth. At the same time, they should not be too soft bristles, as the brush will not be clean, and it is difficult for the bristles to penetrate deep into the teeth for cleaning. Generally, moderate and soft bristles are better. .
5. The roundness rate should be above 80%
The rounding rate of the bristles is very critical, and the rounding rate of the bristles should be above 80% as much as possible. The rounding rate means that the brush filaments that touch the teeth need to be rounded. If the rounding is low, it is easy to damage the gums and teeth of children. The bristle rounding rate is higher than 80%. The rounding rate refers to the rounding treatment of the tip of the bristles, which is higher than 60% for adults and higher than 80% for children. The higher the rounding rate, the better the tooth protection.
6. Choose a brand with strong professional strength
Products with strong professional strength are generally tested and adjusted for core parameters such as vibration frequency and swing amplitude. Only by achieving a sufficiently balanced and stable vibration frequency and swing amplitude can it help protect the immature oral environment of children. Especially the hard power in oral care and technical research.
7. The size of the brush head must be the right size
The size of the brush head is very important, the height should be similar to the height of the teeth, the width should be about 2-3 teeth, and 3-4 bundles of bristles are appropriate. The small brush head is more flexible and does not require the baby to open his mouth too much. It can rotate freely in the mouth and brush wherever he wants. Especially the back of the last molar, when the brush head is too big, it can’t be brushed at all.
