The electric toothbrush is a new product that has appeared in recent years; compared to ordinary toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes are more scientifically effective and is able to clean plaque more thoroughly and reduce oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontal diseases and gingival bleeding. It is also currently a popular commodity in the market.
Electric toothbrushes use rapid rotations or vibrations of a motor core to make the brush head vibrate in high frequencies, instantly breaking down toothpaste into fine foam to clean deep between teeth; the vibration of the brush can also promote blood circulation in the mouth and has unexpected massaging effects for the gingival tissue.
Electric toothbrushes have six major advantages including cleaning power, comfortable feeling, fun sensation, reduced injury, whitening and ease of use.
Electric toothbrushes come in contact with water frequently, so it has high requirements for water-proofing; most electric toothbrushes also need to have the wireless charging function.
