Advantages of using electric toothbrush for the elderly

1. Easy to use

Before rest or when getting up in the morning, the old people will not have much spirit and strength, so they can not guarantee the time of brushing and the norms of brushing action, so the health care effect of teeth will be greatly reduced. The electric toothbrush can solve this problem well. The automatic rotation of the brush head and the overall design in line with the ergonomics ensure the effective and convenient brushing. It's very convenient to use, so it's easy to brush your teeth.

2. Reduce damage

When using ordinary toothbrush to brush teeth, the intensity of use is controlled by the user himself. Sometimes it is inevitable that the intensity of brushing teeth is too large, or the incorrect saw type cross brush method is used, which will cause damage to teeth and gums. Experiments show that the electric toothbrush can reduce the brushing intensity by about 60% and make gingivitis and gingiva safer as long as it is used properly.

3. Deep cleaning

Through rapid rotation, the electric toothbrush can generate high-frequency vibration on the brush head, instantly decompose the toothpaste into fine foam, and thoroughly clean the teeth; at the same time, the vibration of the brush hair can promote the blood circulation of the mouth, which has an unexpected massage effect on the gingival tissue.
