More and more dentists are advocating the use of electric toothbrushes, and for good reason: they provide a more effective cleaning than a manual toothbrush. According to the French Dental Association (ADF), electric toothbrushes remove up to 100% plaque.
The Main Advantages According to Experts:
Better Plaque Removal: The vibrations and rotations allow for a more effective removal of food residues.
Gentler on the Gums: Unlike manual brushing, which can sometimes be too aggressive, an electric toothbrush ensures gentle cleaning.
Helps Establish an Effective Routine: Models like the Y-Brush are designed to guide users towards optimal brushing in just 10 seconds per dental arch.
What Are Dentists' Recommendations for Optimal Use?
1. Use the Right Technique
Unlike a manual toothbrush, vigorous scrubbing is unnecessary with an electric toothbrush. Dentists advise simply placing the brush on the teeth and letting it do the work.
With the Y-Brush sonic toothbrush, its technology enables deep cleaning without the risk of excessive abrasion.
2. Follow the Recommended Brushing Time
The French Union for Oral Health (UFSBD) recommends brushing for at least 2 minutes. However, some innovations, such as the Y-Brush, provide effective cleaning in just 20 seconds, thanks to its unique design that brushes all teeth simultaneously.
3. Choose the Right Toothbrush
There are different types of electric toothbrushes: oscillating-rotating, sonic, or ultrasonic technology. Dentists recommend selecting a model that suits an individual's dental sensitivity and specific needs. The Y-Brush is designed to fit all dental morphologies, ensuring optimal cleaning. Find the right one for you!
4. Replace the Brush Head Regularly
Experts recommend changing the brush head every two months. With Y-Brush refills, designed to be changed every four months, and a subscription service, it's easy to keep a high-performing toothbrush at all times.
5. Complement Brushing with Additional Accessories
Proper brushing alone may not always ensure optimal oral hygiene. Dentists advise using:
Dental floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser to remove plaque buildup between teeth.
A tongue scraper, like the Y-Brush tongue cleaner, to eliminate bacteria responsible for bad breath.
A suitable toothpaste, such as those available from Y-Brush, formulated to strengthen enamel and prevent periodontal diseases.
Dentists' Opinions on Y-Brush
Many dental professionals recommend the use of the Y-Brush for its efficacy and ease of use. Here are some testimonials:
Dr. Martin, Dentist: "The sonic technology of Y-Brush allows for even cleaning in record time. Ideal for patients who struggle to follow the recommended 2-minute brushing time."
Dr. Lefèvre, Orthodontist: "I recommend Y-Brush to my patients, especially those with braces. It helps reach hard-to-access areas."
