Electric or manual brush?
As we have stated on many occasions, oral hygiene is key to care for your health and to prevent other major problems. remove bacterial plateand that's the main cause of gingivitis (inflammation of gums) and periodontitis (bone loss around the teeth). It also leads to demineralisation of enameling and can lead to caries. A significant part (with the use of dental yarn or silk, rinse and internecal brushes) is the brushedbut it's not always done right. The electrical brush can be a good ally as it facilitates the task by making it easier, but we have to be sure that success depends on how well and how long we have been using them and how much we have been using them. According to Spanish Society of Oral CareThe benefits of an electrical brush with a manual are unclear at all. If the brush is performed correctly Both technologies have the same capacity To remove the plate. One interesting consideration is that The electrical brushes are less aggressive by the fact that the user usually puts less pressure on his or her teeth. Also some have pressure sensors that let us know if we're using too much force. That can be interesting for those with a fine periodite (thin gum), or have lost gum because of some periodontal disease as an aggressive brush can be a cause of recessions (The gum goes up with the root of the tooth) and from injuries to the neck of the teeth. They can also be beneficial for those with less skills or reduced mobility. A common mistake is to think that an electrical brush saves us time. Although it's true that the automatic turn of the head saves us manual effort, the time used should be the same as it will be necessary to pass the head through the outside, inside and occlusal face (part with which we chewed) of the teeth. If we do this correctly, the time spent will be more or less the same as with conventional brush. Nevertheless, electrical brushes can help us to become aware of how long they have been used with their built-in timings. If we decide to use an electrical brush we can also choose from several heads small heads facilitate access to complicated areas. The Commission and its Commission have been interested to propose a number of amendments to this Regulation. direction of movementIt looks as if those that generate rotating- oscillation movements have better results. The dregs, as with manual brushes, have to be soft and important to change them as they wear out (about every 3 months), something we can appreciate when they lose their soft or their color. To sum up, the important thing is to conduct a good brushing technique, which can be as effective with the manual brush and with the electrical brush. Be sure to clear each and every surface of each tooth and tongue for about 2 minutes and 3 times a day.
