Contraindications. Not everyone can use electric toothbrushes. Before buying such a device, you should consult your dentist.
It is believed that electric toothbrushes are bad for enamel. However, it is wrong. It is not the brush that can damage the enamel, but the wrong brushing technique. With chaotic movement and strong pressure, the electric brush can really damage the gums and enamel. However, if you do not follow the rules for brushing your teeth, then an ordinary brush can also cause harm. Therefore, the electronic brush must be used correctly and carefully. But the condition of the enamel depends not only on the toothbrush. For example, enamel can be adversely affected by frequent use of abrasive toothpastes.
Another misconception is the fear that fillings may fall out due to the electric toothbrush. Of course it is not. The mechanical movement of the brush is not capable of chipping a well-established seal.
What to stop? First of all, oddly enough, you need to focus on the brand. It is the famous manufacturers who can offer you a safe and high-quality toothbrush. Remember the proverb “The miser pays twice” and beware of Chinese counterfeits. Also pay attention to the stiffness of the bristles. Soft for sensitive teeth, medium for healthy teeth. Hard is most often used as directed by the dentist.
If you travel frequently and plan to take your brush with you, take care of the battery capacity. This will greatly facilitate your life outside of your home environment.
However, before making an expensive purchase, you should consult with your dentist. He will tell you which electric toothbrush is right for you, and will save your budget from the wrong purchase.
