Is Electric Tooth Brushes Riskier Than Traditional?

It is not hold high hopes on the efficiency of electric tooth brushes. Scientists have found that only one of the only variety may claim to be better than traditional tooth brush. Scientists universities of Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester and Sheffield analyzed the results of 29 clinical studies of electric tooth brushes efficiency, in which a total of 2500 people.

All electrical appliances for cleaning teeth specialists divided into five types: ---- brushes, the working part of which was moving from side to side,
- vibrating,
- fluctuating,
- vibrating and fluctuating at the same time,
- as well as brushes, cloth bundles that rotate in different directions.
It turned out that only a fourth type of electric brushes (vibrate and fluctuation) exceeds normal tooth brushes for efficiency. This type eliminates a 7% of dental deposit, and decreases by 17% of gum disease compared with the traditional brush. However, many argue that electric brushes are mass shortcomings.

Statistics show that over the past 15-20 years as this miracle technology gradually has a part of everyday life, around the world has dramatically increased the number gums recession (disease because a gum departs from the neck tooth enamel, open slightly a root), enamel erosion, sphenoid defects (at the neck a deep wedge-tooth gaps). Electric brushes can not only severely injure gums, but incorrect application even shake a teeth. Dentists advised to clean teeth properly, or not committing incremental movements along the edge of proto tooth.
