Toothbrush: dental reviews

Adults and children know: if you do not brush your teeth, there is a very unpleasant sore-caries. Ideally, it is desirable to clean the oral cavity after each snack, even if it's just a chocolate or bun. Of course, this option is not at all. But even if you brush your teeth by all the rules, the freshness in the mouth does not last long, and the new plaque builds incredibly fast. Japanese scientists have solved this problem. Their ion brush for teeth works wonders, easily and for a long time making teeth clean, and a smile - radiant.

Features of plaque

Any of us knows that on the teeth during the day a layering called a plaque is formed. And not only is the food to blame, because the plaque is formed constantly, even during sleep. A simple brush removes it only mechanically. The tooth ion brush, invented by the Japanese, operates in a completely new way.

If you look at the plaque under the microscope, it becomes clear that it consists of living and dead bacteria, microbes living in our mouth in incredible quantities. Having formed thousand of colonies on teeth, they not only spoil our smile and breathing, but also secrete acids that destroy tooth enamel and cause gum disease. How long and diligently they can not clean their teeth, they can only last a couple of hours, no more, without a raid. The ion brush for teeth (according to the manufacturers' assurances) can increase this time by five times. For information, plaque is not only a cosmetic defect. Japanese scientists have reliably determined that it several times increases the risk of heart attack, affects the work of many organs, and sore gums can cause breast cancer. So joking with these dental problems is dangerous.

The principle of the ion brush

It used to be that plaque is formed on the teeth, because the microbes are equipped with special receptors-suckers, and even a special adhesive enzyme is isolated. In recent years, scientists have determined that the surfaces of our teeth have a charge of "minus", and microorganisms - "plus". According to the laws of electrodynamics, charged objects are attracted. The tooth ion brush is designed so that its bristles have a negative charge. During cleaning, you just need to touch their teeth. At this moment, there is a weak for human, but very significant for microbes electric current. The point of contact on the surface of the tooth changes its polarity, its charge becomes positive. The microbes that formed the plaque begin to attract to the bristles of the brush.

This process occurs only at the moment when there is a touch of the bristles of the tooth or gums. When it stops, the previous charge sign returns. The ionic stream itself is produced by a titanium rod inserted into the handle. No buttons that include a brush, it's not on, just a light bulb (it works as an indicator). If it burns, then the battery is still working. If it does not light up, the brush should be thrown away, as the change of batteries is not foreseen by designers (this is probably to ensure that the brush does not become permanent). This miracle of Japanese thought begins to work from the heat of the hands, saliva in the mouth (you do not need to spit on the bristles) and a wet finger. Light is also desirable.

Why does the tooth ion brush create an unusual freshness in my mouth?

Conventional brushes are able to clean the plaque only mechanically. This is not enough for the reason that only specific types of microbes "stick" to the teeth, for example streptococci. The remaining hundreds of species that live in the oral cavity are in free movement. They and that affect the smell from the mouth (with the exclusion of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and other organs). While the Japanese did not come up with new technologies, people achieved fresh breath by rinsing with bactericidal solutions. Now the mouth cavity from microbes perfectly cleans the ionic toothbrush. The testimonies of those who have already tested its effect fully confirm the remarkable effect and note that the feeling of freshness lasts much longer.

Why an ion brush is useful for gums

Very many people have problem gums, very often they are bleeding when brushing their teeth. Especially often this happens when the inflamed gums are touched by the stiff bristles of conventional brushes. These are only the first symptoms of gingivitis, which arose because the under-dental plaque was hardened and turned into tartar. It turns out a vicious circle: with a brush with soft bristles you can not clean your teeth well, and with hard ones you injure your gums.

An even more serious disease, called periodontitis, occurs when microbes of the oral cavity penetrate into the crevices between the gums and teeth. Perhaps, in this case only a tooth ion brush can help. Her bristles are not just soft, but very tender, touching them even with heavily inflamed gums does not hurt at all. Cleansing, as already noted above, occurs not by mechanical friction on the tooth, but by creating an electric current, so the gums are not completely injured. On the contrary, their condition improves. Manufacturers state that their invention can be used as a lightweight galvanizer, electrophoresis and a massager.

The risk of developing periodontitis when using a Japanese brush is also significantly reduced, since it is now possible to perfectly clean microbes from even the most inaccessible places of the oral cavity.

Types and types of Japanese ion brushes

In the world market there are many models of ion brushes, differing in external design and price. But the main difference is in the type of battery. There are two of them:

1. Round built-in batteries. They, unlike sentries, do not change. When their service life expires, the brush is ejected.

2. Solar ones. They are sufficiently durable. The service life (when using a brush twice a day) is several years.

Another criterion by which models differ is the very principle of work. In some brushes, to make them work, you must always put a wet finger to a certain metal label. In others, this is not required, which is much more convenient.

Of course, it's up to you to decide what kind of ionic toothbrush you will have. Reviews of its adherents note that it is much more profitable if several removable attachments come with it. So you can just replace one another when the time comes.

Toothbrush ion (Japanese) and children

Baby milk teeth differ from adults not only because they do not have roots, but also because the enamel is very thin, and the dentin is soft. Acids produced by microbes quickly penetrate the body of the tooth and destroy it. Therefore, the problem of children's caries, unfortunately, is quite acute. To the younger generation with a desire to clean the teeth, the industry produces pleasant toothpaste. Often they have a fragrance of fruit and resemble candy. But even then, not all babies like to brush their teeth. Ion brush for children really turns this process into an exciting activity. First, as the manufacturers say, you can do without toothpaste, and secondly, do not rub with a tooth brush. For many children this brush became a favorite. The use of more than one child has saved frequent visits to the dentist.

Model Splat

Toothbrush "Splat" (ionic) - full name Ion Smart Toothbrush SPLAT - is produced in Japan since the end of the last century. Produced by the corporation "Hukuba", specializing in dental products. A distinctive feature of the model is the condition of touching the titanium tag on the handle with a wet finger at the time of oral cavity treatment. When you tear off the finger, the process stops. Some users consider this a convenience, others - a disadvantage. The brush works from the built-in battery. The shape of the head "Splat" is very convenient. The kit includes two or more replaceable nozzles. The bristles have different lengths, and at the tips are thinned. Thus, an excellent result is obtained in cleaning from plaque and microbes in the most inaccessible places. According to buyers' feedback, the Splat ion toothbrush is great for those who have problems with gums, children, people who are often on trips, as it can be used without toothpaste. Also after using this brush, the effect of whitening of enamel is noted.

Model Soladey

The toothbrush Soladey by the company Shiken was launched about 20 years ago. By its basic parameters, it differs little from the ion brushes of other Japanese firms. Powered by a battery built-in the handle. When cleaning teeth with a wet finger you need to keep a titanium label. It is also important to have at least some light source. These brushes have become very popular over the years, because they have a wonderful quality. They perfectly help to cope with many dental problems, for example, such as:

• plaque;
• Tartar;
• Inflammation, bleeding gums;
• Stale breath;
• Darkening (yellowing) of tooth enamel.

The developers of the company decided to improve their product. As a result, a new product, the Soladey J3X ion toothbrush, was launched on the market. He underwent numerous tests and was completely approved by dentists. Unlike the previous model, the new one has a built-in solar panel, which has increased the service life many times. Plus, you do not need to fix a wet finger on the handle. The ion flux in the new brush also increased significantly, further improving and facilitating the process of brushing the teeth. A good addition is also a complete set of various attachments. Shiken offers them a variety of rigidity, including ultra-soft and rubberized.

The company warns about the existence of counterfeits of their products. Thus, Soladey 3 brushes are manufactured by Chinese manufacturers. They have a few thinner pens and are orientated towards an Asian buyer. On the packaging of such goods all information is given only in Chinese.

Model Kiss You

Ionic brush Kiss You is also produced by the Japanese company "Hukuba". Its design is quite attractive, especially in models for children. You can buy a brush with or without nozzles. In the latter case, when the bristles are worn out, a set of nozzles produced by the said company is simply bought. Kiss You brushes work from a non-replaceable battery built into the handle. This is their only big minus. To start the production of ions, you need to put a wet finger on the titanium mark, and moisten the brush itself. Further actions are normal, as with any brushing of teeth. Only strongly to rub on the enamel is not necessary, since all the dirt easily and quickly breaks from the surface of the tooth (stretches out of hard-to-reach slots) and rushes to the bristles. Brushes with soft, medium and hard pile are produced. The length of the bristles is also different. Usually on the brush panel are fixed 4 rows of ordinary and 2 rows of pyramidal villi. The weight of the brush is about 30 grams. According to numerous reviews, Kiss You (ion toothbrush) performs the following functions:

• Ideal removal of even persistent plaque (for example, from coffee);
• Polishes and bleaches the enamel already from the first application;
• Helps to eliminate bleeding gums;
• With constant use relieves without visiting the dentist from tartar;
• Long maintains the effect of freshness in the oral cavity;
• Gives the opportunity not to use toothpaste (those who do not want to refuse it, you need to put on the brush only a very small amount);
• Do not hum and do not vibrate, which is observed when using electric brush;
• Perfectly copes with children's plaque.

Who should not use ion toothbrushes?

According to numerous and enthusiastic reviews of consumers, the miracle of inventive Japanese thought - the tooth ion brush - like a magic wand in the hands of a sorcerer, is able to get rid of gingivitis, whiten and polish enamel, painlessly remove tartar, and help to treat periodontitis without visiting dental offices. In addition, it can be used not only without toothpastes, but even without water! Also, manufacturers and advertisers are convinced that such a brush perfectly cleans all dirt from tooth braces, implants, crowns and bridges. Another feature of the innovation, which can not be overemphasized, is the possibility of performing oral physiotherapy without leaving home, as the ion brush performs galvanization, massage and electrophoresis of the gums and mouth.

However, not all doctors fully agree with the advertising statements. The real advantage of using such devices, they see in the normalization of the acidic environment in the mouth, which really affects the freshness of breathing. Another point noted by skeptics: if you still use a good toothpaste during the operation of the ion brush, the charged ions will affect the fluorine and calcium atoms, contributing to their better penetration into the tooth. All this, along with compliance with the rules for oral care, really helps to avoid cavities.

However, there is a category of people who can not use ion brushes categorically. These include:

1. Those who are many and constantly smokes. Nicotine has a very negative effect on the mucous membranes of the mouth, provoking multiple diseases. The flow of ions can aggravate their course.

2. Patients with leukoplakia, candidiasis, dyskeratosis and any other diseases of the oral mucosa.

3. People who have constant dryness in the oral cavity.

4. Those who have metal designs in their mouths, made of different metals.
