Toothbrush is an indispensable tool for oral hygiene. There are many types of toothbrushes on the market. The most widely used ones are ordinary toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes, nano toothbrushes, ultrasonic toothbrushes, etc. The vibration frequency of ultrasonic toothbrushes is extremely high, so it can achieve an efficient cleaning effect. But why don’t dentists recommend using ultrasonic toothbrushes? What are the dangers of sonic toothbrushes?
Because everyone’s physique is different, there will be differences in oral environment, dentition, etc. Because the vibration frequency of ultrasonic toothbrushes is extremely strong, and the tolerance of each person's teeth is different, dentists do not recommend the use of ultrasonic toothbrushes for children and adolescents who are in the development period. The higher vibration frequency may damage the teeth, especially for those with fragile gums. People who use ultrasonic toothbrushes may cause the bubbles around the teeth to burst due to high pressure and impact the tooth surface and gum roots.
Ultrasonic toothbrushes may bring irritation and impact to teeth, damage fragile gums, and cause bleeding. For children with developing teeth and people with fragile gums, ultrasonic toothbrushes are not suitable because brushing will produce high-frequency vibrations, which may cause bleeding if the gums are not strong enough to withstand it.
From the perspective of oral health, it is recommended to reduce the frequency of using ultrasonic toothbrushes as much as possible.
