Part 1
My teeth are really not good, every time I go to wash my teeth, the dentist will tell me in a serious voice, "You must brush your teeth well, and you must use floss or a toothbrush!" ”
"Okay, good," I promised to be diligent every time.
Flossing? Impossible, that stuff is too much trouble to use! I always feel that as long as I insist on brushing my teeth in the morning and evening, my teeth will be fine.
Therefore, in order to protect my teeth, I bought the best electric toothbrush, ultrasonic brushing, vibrating 31,000 times per minute, I don't believe it, those dental plaque, food debris, I can't shock you!
But it didn't work, and after a while, my toothache was committed again! I couldn't bear it, so I went to the dental clinic again.
Dentist, "You didn't floss again, did you?" ”
I shook my head silently.
This time the doctor was unusual, he did not blame me, but directly pulled me to take a picture of the teeth.
The following film is my tooth picture, the white ones are bad teeth with braces, the most important thing to pay attention to is the gap between the teeth, and the large one can stuff a lot of food scraps.
"But I used the best toothbrush," I was still a little unconvinced, "brushing my teeth every day!" And brush it up in the morning and !!! ”
Dentist, "But you can only brush the surface of your teeth, you can't clean the gaps in your teeth!" ”
He showed me teeth after eating. He told me that brushing your teeth only brushes off 70% of the dirt, and the other 30% is embedded between the teeth, just like the picture below!
Then he showed me another video.
In the video, although the toothbrush is very careful to clean the teeth, it can only clean the surface of the teeth, but a large amount of plaque still accumulates in the gaps between the teeth.
At that moment, I finally understood that the place where the teeth were teething was not only on the surface, but also in the gaps in the teeth, and the plaque on the surface could be removed by brushing, but the plaque in the gaps was a dead corner that the toothbrush could not get.
And I also have a problem with my teeth, the wisdom teeth have been mothed a large piece, so it is particularly easy to stuff food residue inside, which is also where the toothbrush can't brush off.
I later removed the wisdom tooth, and the moment I saw it, I was shocked, and a large piece of moth was black. The picture was so bloody that I had to hit the mosaic...
However, after that time, I finally understood a truth: the doctor was right, brushing your teeth is definitely not enough, you must use floss or a toothbrush to really protect your teeth!
Later I tried flossing first, which is through a thin line through the gap between the teeth, which can clean the plaque in the gaps in the teeth.
Although this way is clean and clean, there is a problem, that is, the operation is technically difficult and laborious, and the more the teeth are back, the more difficult it is to clean!
So I took the second advice from the dentist, which is to use a toothbrush!
The essence of the toothbrush is to use the water flow to rinse the teeth, which is much easier to operate.
The following picture is the process of flushing teeth with a toothbrush, and the food residues in the gap between the teeth can be washed clean under the impact of the water flow, which has the same effect as floss.
And there is also a very powerful place in the toothbrush, that is, the cleaning of the back of the teeth and the deep teeth of the mouth. Because those places are often clean dead ends, the toothbrush can cover it!
In addition, the toothbrush has the advantage that toothbrushes and flosses do not have, that is, for orthodontic teeth.
Because of the braces, it is inconvenient to clean both toothbrushes and flosses, food residues will be deposited near the braces, and the toothbrush can clean these residues one by one!
That's why I chose the punch!
Since you decided to use a toothbrush, which brand should you choose?
I'm a polytechnic man and like to speak with data. To this end, I did another four-step survey.
Part 2
Step 1: I want to focus on the professionalism of a brand.
Toothbrushes are oral products, and the most authoritative certification of oral products in the United States is called ADA (American Dental Association).
This certification is extremely difficult and requires testing for many aspects such as water pressure, cleaning power, etc. So when I bought a toothbrush before, although there were several brands of toothbrushes on the market, there were two brands of ADA-certified toothbrushes, one of which was Waterpik, which was also the brand I have been using since then.
ADA certification is the following green label:
For this reason, I also went to the official website of the ADA to check.
The following text is the ADA's announcement, published in 2017, which announced that Waterpik passed the ADA's rigorous testing and was the first ADA-certified toothbrush brand. This also means that it has an extremely reliable clinical guarantee that it is both effective and safe to use.
Waterpik is also the inventor of the world's first toothbrush, its founder is a dentist, because he felt that flossing was too troublesome, so he invented the world's first toothbrush in 1962, 59 years ago!
The most valuable thing about this brand is that it is particularly single-minded, and it has only focused on making a good toothbrush for 59 years, especially with the spirit of craftsmanship!
Part 3
Step two: I'm going to study their performance data
I once read a test by Waterpik who tested two groups of people, the first using both a puncher and an electric toothbrush, and the second just using an electric toothbrush.
Then the teeth cleaning data of these two categories of people is reported as follows:
According to its data, it is reported that if you use an electric toothbrush and a toothbrush at the same time, it is better than using an electric toothbrush alone:
36% more effective in reducing gum inflammation
37% more efficient in reducing bleeding gums
33% more efficient in reducing plaque
This is a pretty good set of data that shows that Waterpik's punches work very well for dental care. But why does it have such a good effect? So I checked its patents again.
The following website can find all Waterpik patents:
https://patents.justia.com/assignee/water-pik-inc
From the sprinkler head to the handle, from the water pressure to the frequency, Waterpik has applied for hundreds of core technology patents.
For example, the water sprayed by its sprinkler head is difficult because it must ensure the best cleaning effect, and the water pressure must be just right, so as not to cause damage to the teeth.
The following chart is the result of their repeated experiments on the pulse frequency, the best pulse frequency in 1200 ~ 1600 times / min cleaning effect is the best, too high or too low cleaning efficiency will be greatly reduced, and such pulse water flow technology is also Waterpik exclusive.
Part 4
Step 3: I want to test how effective the punch is?
The last step is to look at the official test data, but I want to personally verify whether the toothbrush is really that effective. So I prepared to do a small experiment myself to test the four characteristics of the toothbrush:
Remove food debris from sticky teeth
Clean the gaps between the teeth
Prevent staining of teeth
The water pressure is stable
This is the device I chose, Waterpik's small magic box, it has 10 gears, the water pressure of each gear is different, and the applicable population is also different. When I tested, I chose variable 6, which is a gear commonly used by adults.
The first test: clean the surface of the tooth
I chose corn to simulate teeth. Then I found another piece of chocolate and melted it in the microwave, at which point the chocolate became sticky and easily stuck to my teeth.
Then I spread it on the corn, sticky.
Then rinse with a toothbrush, and in an instant, the residue of those sticky teeth is cleaned!
That's what it looks like after rinsing, it's clean and there's not a trace of chocolate at all!
The second test: clean the gap between the teeth
The surface is clean, but I am more concerned about the cleaning of the gap between my teeth, after all, i use the toothbrush because I need to clean various gaps that are more difficult to start than the surface.
So I did another test, this time adding nut granules to the chocolate.
Then it was coated on corn, and the corn particles were densely packed with chocolate and nut particles, like food scraps left between our teeth.
Open the puncher punch:
After the flush, it looks brand new.
The pool is densely packed with food particles that have been washed out!
The third test: dealing with tooth staining
I also wanted to see if it could handle the staining of my teeth, so I chose soy sauce and applied it to the corn, which immediately turned black.
After a period of rest, the surface of the corn and between the grains are black.
The puncher starts!
The result is still clean!
The fourth test: the hydrostatic test
When I read the Waterpik test results, one of them was about water pressure.
Generally speaking, this kind of punching device, its water pressure is fluctuating, the general punching device has a pressurization process a few seconds ago, and then reaches the rated water pressure nearby, and there will be relatively large fluctuations. Unstable water pressure can not only cause damage to the teeth, but also make it difficult to flush thoroughly.
There are several items in the ADA certification that are tests on water pressure, which ensure that the water pressure of the toothbrush starts from the beginning to the end of the tooth punch, and the water pressure is stable and safe, and it will not cause damage to the human teeth.
When I read the Waterpik test data, there was a diagram of the oscilloscope, which showed that the water pressure tested at the specified water pressure was almost a straight line, which meant that the pressure was very stable.
There is also an experiment to test the pellets. After 1 second of start-up of the Jiebi toothbrush, it can be stabilized at safe water pressure, and the ball basically remains motionless. Other punchers with unstable pressure are significantly moved up and down after the ball is turned on.
Such technology is not something that all brands can do.
But the test was too specialized for me to do, but it occurred to me that I could experiment with a ripe persimmon. If the water pressure fluctuates too much, such as when the water pressure is just out of the water, the persimmon skin is easily broken.
So I found a persimmon and rinsed it.
I chose 6 gears, in the process of rinsing, from the moment of boot, the water pressure is very stable, after a few seconds of rinsing, the persimmons are not broken.
Finally, to summarize, the four quiz instructions above:
The Waterpik toothbrush has a good cleaning effect on sticky tooth substances, between teeth, and dyeing, and the water pressure is also very stable, which will not cause damage to the gums!
Part 5
Step 4: Actual experience.
I started with the Waterpik small magic box, its size is very small, the following picture is a comparison with toothpaste.
About 2/3 of its volume is a water tank, which is the way the water tank is disassembled, and it can be filled with 600ml of water at one time.
It is currently the only household puncher that can be used wirelessly for charging, and can be used for 60 minutes on a single charge (at 5 levels of water pressure).
The handle is very light and stress-free for the elderly and children. When the handle is not in use, it can be directly sucked on the handle bracket of the small magic box, which is convenient for storage.
There is a gear adjuster here, and there are a total of 10 gears that can be set.
When I first started using it, I chose 1 gear because my gums were sensitive and the pressure was too uncomfortable. After a while, it is now changed to 6 gears.
And the wife has good teeth, so she likes to choose 7 gears.
For the two children, Han Used 6 and Sister used 2.
This is the wife cleaning her daughter's teeth after dinner yesterday:
This is the condition of the daughter before cleaning her teeth, and the food sticks to the teeth and between the teeth.
The dirt in the pool is the food residue that was originally stuck to the teeth after cleaning the sister.
The toothbrush has a total of 7 nozzles.
If you compare them carefully, the difference between their sprinklers is very large, and the corresponding functions are also different!
1. This nozzle is a standard sprinkler, there are 2 in total.
It is suitable for usual general cleaning.
2. This nozzle is an arched nozzle.
It can clean various delicate positions in the mouth such as the side of the tongue, wisdom teeth and fixed bridges.
3. This sprinkler is special, it has a brush.
It is especially suitable for people who have done dental implants, dental implants, crowns, and bridges.
4. This sprinkler is an orthodontic nozzle.
It is easy to clean to a location where floss is difficult to clean, suitable for people who do orthodontics.
5. This nozzle is a periodontal bag nozzle.
This is for the need to deliver medicine, it can not only send water to the gums to clean, but also send antibacterial solutions, or dentist-designated drugs for maintenance.
However, when using this nozzle, the gear should be adjusted to a smaller position (between 1 and 3 gears).
6. This nozzle is a tongue scraping nozzle.
It can be used for tongue cleaning. However, if you have no previous experience of brushing tongue moss, then it is recommended that when you first use tongue scraping, the gear is placed at the lowest level, and at the beginning, do not go too deep to prevent gagging.
Part 6
In addition, Waterpik also has a handheld model called Jiebi Small Rocket, which I used for business trips.
It's the following one:
It's a bit simpler, with only three gears to choose from: Power Mode, Standard Mode and Gentle Mode.
It is also magnetically charged. Compared with the small magic box, the capacity of the small rocket is 200ml, only 1/3 of the latter.
The sprinklers are equipped with 4, which are 2 standard sprinklers, 1 orthodontic nozzle and 1 plaque sprinkler.
Part.7
That's the story of me and the puncher.
That time I looked at my teeth, I was pulled out of three rotten wisdom teeth, and the cost was 2400 yuan. In fact, if I had spent a few hundred yuan earlier to buy a toothbrush, not only would I have saved thousands of dollars in the cost of filling and tooth extraction, but more importantly, I would not have to suffer so many sins!
Therefore, if you want to protect the teeth of yourself, your children and your family, floss or a toothbrush is highly recommended in addition to brushing your teeth morning and evening!
As I write this, I consulted a lot of data on Waterpik products, and they wanted me to help promote it.
It happens to be Double Eleven next month, and Jebi can provide our readers with cheaper prices than Double Eleven, and there are giveaways, so I immediately agreed!
