An electric toothbrush can be used for about two to three weeks after being charged.

You can charge it when it is almost out of power, which can reduce damage to the battery. So what is the reason why the electric toothbrush cannot be charged?

Why can't the electric toothbrush be charged?

If the battery cannot be charged, the electric toothbrush will still rotate very slowly after charging for several hours, and then stop after a while. This means that the battery of the electric toothbrush is broken. Generally, the battery is a lithium battery, the same as a mobile phone. You can ask after-sales service for repair, or buy a lithium battery of the same specification at the place where the electric toothbrush is sold, or buy a new electric toothbrush.

Can the elderly use electric toothbrushes?

Yes. When the elderly get up in the morning or before going to bed, they are not in good spirits and do not have much strength, so the brushing time cannot be guaranteed, and their brushing movements may not be standardized, so the dental care effect will not be very good. The brush head of the electric toothbrush can rotate automatically, and the overall design conforms to ergonomics, which can enable the elderly to brush their teeth more effectively, and it is also more convenient for them to use.

Which electric toothbrush is suitable for the elderly?

When buying an electric toothbrush for the elderly, it is better to choose an ordinary electric toothbrush instead of a sonic vibration toothbrush. In addition, the brush head and the handle should be integrated to prevent the brush head from being swallowed by mistake. In addition, it is best to choose a small brush head so that it can reach deep into the mouth and clean the back teeth. The bristles should not be too hard, otherwise it will easily damage the gums.

What are the benefits of electric toothbrushes for the elderly?

1. Reduce gum damage: When the elderly use ordinary toothbrushes to brush their teeth, if they use too much force or the brushing method is incorrect, such as the sawing horizontal brushing method, it is easy to damage the teeth and gums. When the elderly use electric toothbrushes, they do not need to use too much force. If the brushing method is correct, it can reduce gum damage.

2. More thorough cleaning: When the elderly use an electric toothbrush, it will rotate rapidly, causing the brush head to produce high-frequency vibrations, which can deeply clean the gaps between teeth. The vibration of the bristles can also promote blood circulation in the elderly's mouth and have a massage effect on the gums.
