Chinese people generally lack awareness of the harm of children's electric toothbrushes, and often make wrong judgments when buying children's electric toothbrushes, resulting in inferior products with low professionalism and lack of age-specific design, resulting in children's teeth being harmed. To avoid this, we have to figure out what are the disadvantages of using an electric toothbrush for our children. The nurse will come today to popularize the knowledge of the disadvantages of using electric toothbrushes for children, and communicate with you in detail on the purchase skills, hoping to benefit parents! (The picture below is the style of children's electric toothbrush I have purchased in the past three years)
1. Stay away from the three major drawbacks of children's electric toothbrushes
What are the disadvantages of using electric toothbrushes for children?High-quality children's electric toothbrushes actually have no disadvantages for everyone's oral health, but if you buy and use children's electric toothbrushes unprofessionally, there will be drawbacks. After all, the caries rate of children in mainland China has been as high as 72% (as shown in the figure below), coupled with the high sensitivity of the child's own oral cavity, once the child buys an unprofessional and inferior children's electric toothbrush, it is prone to the following three drawbacks.
Disadvantage 1: Brings chronic tooth injury
Long-term use of low-quality electric toothbrushes for children can also cause chronic tooth damage, which usually takes months or years to show obvious symptoms, and is often ignored by everyone, but once this damage occurs, it is irreversible.
Disadvantage 2: Aggravate the underlying dental disease
Many children already suffer from dental disease, and once an inferior electric toothbrush is used, it is easy to directly aggravate the original dental problem, resulting in the continuous deterioration of the child's oral environment.
Disadvantage 3: Causes tooth enamel to wear and scratch the gums
Unprofessional children's electric toothbrushes generally have problems such as uneven vibration frequency and lack of age-specific design, and children are prone to toothache, tooth enamel wear, and gum bleeding after using such children's electric toothbrushes.
Second, be careful of the five routines of the children's electric toothbrush industry
As mentioned earlier, high-quality children's electric toothbrushes have no drawbacks, and unprofessional children's electric toothbrushes are easy to bring harm to our oral health, which shows that the choice of children's electric toothbrushes is very important. In fact, the wrong purchase of children's electric toothbrushes is also the main reason for the disadvantages of children's electric toothbrushes, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at the following statistical table of the causes of children's electric toothbrushes released by professional organizations, and the data in the table also fully confirms this. Today's children's electric toothbrush industry has many routines, which have caused many obstacles for parents to choose products, and directly caused the result of product selection errors, especially the following five routines are the most common, and we must remember to avoid them.
1. Products that do not have age-specific design. The existence of age-specific design work is to improve the matching ability of products, which can meet the oral needs of children at different stages, but most of the inferior and unprofessional products ignore this, so the production of products has few types of brush heads and few stalls, which cannot meet the oral cleaning needs of children who grow and develop rapidly.
2. Don't choose to market online celebrity brands. There are a lot of influencer brands on the market that use fancy packaging and exaggerated publicity to attract consumers' attention. But these children's electric toothbrushes often have problems with quality and performance. Everyone still has to choose a brand with a high degree of professionalism, rather than blindly following the big names of Internet celebrities.
3. Do not choose products that claim to be cost-effective and of poor quality. Some products will advertise themselves as cost-effective, cheap but of inferior quality. These products are often made with inexpensive materials and simple manufacturing processes, which are prone to quality problems, have a short service life, and are not ideal results. It is necessary to choose products with reliable quality and strong professional strength to ensure the use effect and durability.
4. Don't choose products that don't support trial. Some children's electric toothbrushes may not offer a trial or return policy, which poses a risk to consumers. Before buying a children's electric toothbrush, it's a good idea to choose a brand and product that can be tried or returned, so that you can actually try it out after purchase to ensure that the product meets the needs of yourself and your child.
5. Don't blindly follow the big names across borders. Some cross-border brands do not have the professional strength to make children's electric toothbrushes, but in fact, these products are only OEM production, lacking the brand's own research and development and quality assurance. Choose brands that focus on the field of children's electric toothbrushes, which usually have stronger technical strength and product quality assurance.
3. Three types of people who are not suitable for children's electric toothbrushes
In addition to the disadvantages of using electric toothbrushes for children due to purchase mistakes, parents blindly using children's electric toothbrushes for children who are not suitable for children's electric toothbrushes may also cause tooth problems. So what kind of children are not suitable for children's electric toothbrushes?
1. Children under 4 years old
Children under the age of 4 have delicate teeth and gums, so it is recommended that parents pay attention to choosing a manual toothbrush with soft bristles to clean their children, so as to complete the cleaning work while better protecting the oral cavity from injury. Using a children's electric toothbrush too early can easily hurt your teeth.
2. Children with slow oral development
The state of each child's oral cavity is different, for children with slow tooth development, it is not recommended to use children's electric toothbrushes, because children's mouths are very immature, and the use of electric toothbrushes is easy to hurt teeth, parents must choose according to their children's conditions.
3. Children with severe dental caries
Severe caries is to have reached the deep dentin layer, generally manifested as a large and deep cavity, or the entrance is small and deep with a more extensive destruction, children with severe caries should seek medical attention in time, after obtaining the doctor's permission, you can use children's electric toothbrushes, if you do not listen to the doctor's words rashly use, it will aggravate the child's dental problems.
Fourth, the five benefits that children's electric toothbrushes bring to children
In fact, as long as you buy a professional and high-quality children's electric toothbrush, you can not only completely avoid its drawbacks, but also benefit children's oral health! At present, the caries rate of children in mainland China is as high as 72% (as shown below), most children already have serious oral problems, but if they only continue to use traditional manual toothbrushes at this time, they can not meet the needs of children's oral cleaning, so now dentists recommend that children over 4 years old use children's electric toothbrushes, which have many benefits compared to other cleaners:
Advantage 1: The cleaning effect is good, which can effectively prevent tooth decay
Children's electric toothbrushes are far more powerful than manual toothbrushes, and can clean the tooth gaps, gingival sulcus, backs of teeth and other high-incidence areas of dental disease that cannot be handled by manual toothbrushes, completely remove plaque in the mouth, and help children prevent tooth decay and other oral problems.
Advantage 2: The vibration frequency is uniform and stable, and the brushing intensity can be accurately controlled
Manual toothbrush is a subjective control of brushing strength, children are difficult to accurately control the intensity and angle of brushing, it is easy to have a variety of tooth damage, but the use of professional children's electric toothbrush, not only can achieve uniform and stable vibration, but also can accurately control the brushing strength, strong tooth protection ability, and not easy to hurt teeth.
Advantage 3: It is fun and makes children prefer to brush their teeth
The design of children's electric toothbrushes is generally very cartoonish, has strong fun, and will also come with stickers, etc., which can better stimulate children's interest in brushing their teeth, and they will not be too exclusive to brushing.
Advantage 4: The threshold for use is low, and the operation for children is simpler
The use of manual toothbrushes requires children to control their brushing strength, but most children under the age of 10 cannot flexibly control the intensity and do not have much patience, so it is actually difficult to complete the brushing behavior for ten minutes. The children's electric toothbrush not only has a low threshold for use, but also is simple to operate, so children can get started faster.
Benefit 5, save time and effort
Manual toothbrushes take at least ten minutes to achieve the desired cleaning effect, but most children do not have much patience, so the cleaning effect is difficult to achieve, while children's electric toothbrushes only need 2-3 minutes to help children fully clean their gums and teeth, and the cleaning effect is better.
Although there are many benefits of children's electric toothbrushes, only professional and high-quality children's electric toothbrushes can play these benefits, and many unprofessional children's electric toothbrush brands on the market today are also fooling consumers under the banner of tooth and gum protection.
In terms of technology and professionalism, Huile as a professional technology old brand, is the originator of the domestic "toothless" field, is the most professional and outstanding technology in this field, and is also the only brand that has been certified by the European Union, the United States and other countries!

5. Eight tips for buying a high-quality children's electric toothbrush
What are the disadvantages of children using electric toothbrushes? Since mistakes when buying children's electric toothbrushes are the main cause of their drawbacks, parents must make correct purchases if they want to avoid the drawbacks. And don't think that manual toothbrushes are safe, if you buy a product with a brush head that is too big and the bristles are too hard, a manual toothbrush will also hurt your teeth. So what kind of method can be used to ensure that the choice will not be wrong? The following eight purchase skills are summarized by my years of actual combat, you may wish to do it.
Tip 1: Choose a brand with stronger expertise. The professionalism of children's electric toothbrushes is reflected in the technical strength, and the truly professional children's electric toothbrush brands will have rich experience in oral care, stronger dental care technology of the products, and do a good job in age-specific design, so they can better match the oral needs of children.
Tip 2: Choose a product with excellent compatibility. Children's oral conditions will change significantly at the age of 3-12, so children have higher requirements for the gear and brush head type of children's electric toothbrushes, and the higher the compatibility of the product, the better it can match the child's oral environment at different stages, and the cleaning effect is also very good.
Tip 3: Optimize products with a roundness rate of more than 80%. The higher the roundness of the bristles, the better the tooth protection effect, generally higher than 80% is required, if the roundness of the bristles of the selected children's electric toothbrush is lower than this value, it is easy to cause gum bleeding, toothache and other tooth injuries.
Tip 4: Reject "functional" products. Many brands will force the bristles to attach various marketing selling points such as antibacterial and fluoride in their advertisements, which is actually an IQ tax that raises the unit price, which actually has no effect.
Tip 5: Magnetic levitation motors are more recommended. At present, children's electric toothbrush motors on the market are mainly divided into coreless motors and magnetic levitation motors, the former is low cost, the vibration is strong and weak, and the incidence of tooth injury is high. The internal structure of the high-quality suspension magnetic float motor is more precise, the power is uniform and stable, the noise is small, and the protection of the child's oral cavity is better.
Tip 6: Choose products with age-specific design. Children's electric toothbrushes with age-specific design have sufficient vibration frequency range, rich gears, and many types of brush heads, which can better match the oral conditions of children at different times and at different ages.
Tip 7: Choose a U-shaped children's electric toothbrush carefully. CCTV has already reported this style, and the products that present this style cannot fit the child's tooth shape well at all, so the cleaning effect of the product is also very unsatisfactory, and the key is to hide a high rate of tooth injury.
Tip 8: Choose a brand that supports unpacking and trial. Most brands of children's electric toothbrushes support 7 days without reason, but few will support the unpacking trial, which parents should make clear, only professional brands can do the unpacking trial, the purchased product is not suitable, and it can also be returned, so as not to lead to idleness.
What are the disadvantages of using electric toothbrushes for children? The key to the existence or absence of the disadvantages of children's electric toothbrushes lies in the choice of children's electric toothbrushes, so as long as we pay attention to the five routines of the children's electric toothbrush industry, avoid them in time, and then choose high-quality children's electric toothbrushes with strong professional and technical strength and age-specific design according to our purchase skills, so that children's electric toothbrushes can be beneficial and harmless to children and become a good thing to maintain children's oral health!
