How to choose an electric toothbrush, recommended?

Hello everyone.

 

It is easy to go from Ageo, Hasuda, Shiraoka, Konosu Dental clinic in Ina-cho (dentist / dentist) Kanade Dental Children's Dentistry Takai.

 

Well this time the theme is electric toothbrush.

 

Since I feel that media hype is generating misunderstandings of patients, I feel it in my daily practice, so I will cut it badly this time.

 

It says from conclusion. (It is a personal opinion to the last)

 

"I am an electric toothbrush"

 

What kind of image would you have about electric toothbrush everyone?

 

I feel that I am listening to the patient's story every day so that there is a lot of misunderstanding that "Because it is electric, I can polish firmly."

 

If you examine it well, it will want to think so. Some electric toothbrushes will cost tens of thousands of yen. If you try it for a patient, you are excited and have purchased a high electric toothbrush, so it may be unavoidable to become an idea of "It must be highly effective."

 

First of all I will talk from the history of electric toothbrush.

 

Electric toothbrushes were developed in the US in the 1960's for people with disabilities who are hemiplegic due to cerebral infarction and others and hands do not move freely.

 

From this point on, considering the purpose for which an electric toothbrush was made, it can be said that an electric toothbrush is not necessary for people who are free to move hands with satisfaction of five people.

 

In Japan, the electric toothbrush has been dramatically popular since 2000 and it has reached the present time, but I feel personally as a dentist that the way of advertisement of the media is too high.

 

If you have time, please try searching for a video with "Electric Toothbrush Shuzo Matsuoka".

 

It's packed with Tsukkomi.

 

Well, there is a Cochrane review.

 

It is an authoritative global institution that periodically reviews and examines medical information on treatment and prevention.

 

In Cochrane "There is some evidence (scientific basis) that electric toothbrush reduces dental plaque and gingivitis rather than manual toothbrush, but the difference is small, clinical importance is unknown" doing.

 

I strongly agree only with the report that "clinical importance is unknown". Because the most important thing in a toothbrush is not "electric? Manual?" But "way of applying".

 

Then, I think whether it means that "What is the recommended toothpick method after all?"

 

The bus method (tooth brushing method specialized for periodontal disease) is recommended as a method of polishing adults.

 

The bus method is a tooth brushing method invented in 1954 by professor Bass who was a professor at the Department of Pathology at Tulane University Medical School in New Orleans, Louisiana.

 

Although poorly at that time when Professor Bus announced at that time the achievement was hardly recognized, but from the 1970s to the present day 2017, as a way of polishing periodontal disease, nearly 50 years of support for dentists Has been acquired.

 

American Academy of Periodontology (world-class academic conference in periodontal disease) also recommends this bus method.

 

The Bus Law has the following four basic items.

 

As one toothbrush, the hair quality is soft and thin.

 

2 Position the bristles between the teeth and the gums.

 

Three angles should be applied at 45 degrees

 

4 Vibrating finely

 

I think that the contribution of Professor Bath in periodontal pathology is wonderful.

 

However, our hospital adds another item to patients and tells them.

 

5 Do not overtighten the power with a pen grip

 

If you polish strongly, the toothbrush may cause the gums to go down.

 

This is a beautiful and serious woman many, but it is wonderful to polish hard to prevent periodontal disease, but there are quite a few patterns that the gums are going down too much.

 

It is very wasteful because it is difficult to restore the gum as it falls.

 

Also, as gingiva goes down, hyperacusivity (cold stuffing) tends to occur.

 

Please be careful for beautiful women / men.

 

Well, I think that the question "What is the recommendation of a child's toothpaste?" Comes up.

 

Recommended toothpaste for children is called scrubbing method.

 

I hit a toothbrush at an angle of 90 degrees to teeth, so it's easy to understand toothpaste for your child.

 

However, since it is difficult for the backside of teeth to be 90 degrees, it is OK even if it is the same 45 degrees as the bus method.

 

I believe there are two major reasons why tooth brushing is different between adults and children.

 

One is simply the difference in difficulty.

 

The other is that adults who specialize in periodontal disease will have teeth in the future, while children have an aspect that it is better to specialize in tooth decay. (Children have a tendency to advance tooth decay faster than periodontal disease)

 

Since I think that there are points that it is difficult to understand if it is only sentences,

 

If you have any questions about toothpaste, please do not hesitate to contact us at our hospital.
