There are several common options for brushing teeth: using a traditional brush and paste, an electric brush, a special thread, an irrigator, and rinse. But recently, such an item as the ion toothbrush has become more and more popular. What is it?

Ionisation brush is a kind of electric brush and is able to clean teeth from plaque due to the creation of a difference in electrical potential between the enamel of the teeth and the surface of the product itself.

    works To understand how this product purifies itselfteeth, you need to go a little deeper into theory. A brush with ionic action is made in such a way that it is able to create a flow of negatively charged particles - ions.

    They fall on the tooth enamel and change its polarity, making a positive. Excessive negative potential is created on the very bristle of the device due to the emission of negative particles and its special device. Between the tooth enamel and the brush there is an electrical potential difference.

    Now, when enamel and plaque on it are positively charged, and the surface of the bristles on the brush is negative, the cleaning process is started. Positive particles of plaque and various dirt on the teeth rush through the electric field to the negative pole on the brush. This is how the full and high-quality cleaning of the tooth surface occurs.

    To clean the oral cavity in this way, you need to perform minimal mechanical movements - the device actually does everything yourself. The result is very high quality and lasting.

Clear them with the help of a conventional classic brush mechanical action is virtually impossible, so you can not save from tooth decay.

    As for the ion brush, here, thanks to the action of the electrical potential difference, the dirt is cleared even from the smallest holes and cavities in the teeth. This helps to avoid the appearance of tooth decay in the future.

    It is also important that such a product conducts an effective disinfection of the entire oral cavity, and also does not irritate the gum. This is very important for people who have problem gums or bad breath - an ion brush will be an excellent remedy for them.

    A selection of opinions

    In Russia, an ionic toothbrush is not such a popular product among the population as abroad, but it is gaining popularity, which is confirmed by numerous reviews of dentists and consumers.

    Subtracted about ionized brushes more recently. I almost did not understand anything, but I decided to try it and bought one from Splat, because it's pretty cheap. Just two weeks of use, the teeth just shone! I advise everyone to such a brush.

    Maria, 24, Moscow

    I've always been interested in new discoveries in the field of dentistry, I do not like to stand in professional development on the spot. I started using ion brushes from the moment they appeared on our market. I will say directly - the device is just wonderful and worthy of attention.

    Ivan Pavlovich, 52, dentist, St. Petersburg

    Heard about these brushes relatively recently. Before I advise them to my patients, I decided to check on myself. The effect is striking - the brush brushes the teeth just fine. I advise everyone to whom the usual brushes do not bring the desired result in whiteness of teeth.

    Vladislav Yuryevna, 34 years old, dentist, Moscow

    I recently had a doctor, he treated my teeth and he advised me to use an ion brush. She says that she cleans teeth and does not have a mechanical effect on the gums, but they are painful. Tried and was very pleased.

    Debunking the myths of

    Around the whole new there is always a lot of speculation and untruth. A lot of myths in the network are also about ionic brushes. Often you can find such common fictions, which have no scientific basis:

    1. Plaque and enamel stick together with the electrical forces of .This is not quite true, because scientists have clearly demonstrated that plays a role here primarily chemical compounds in which substances taken from bacteria take part.
    2. The antibacterial effect of the ionization of saliva can last an entire day .Another myth, which is debunked quite simply - the saliva in the mouth is constantly updated at a very high rate. Therefore, the saliva purified by ionization from the brush will quickly leave, giving way to a new one, which has not experienced such an effect.
    3. Use brushes with ions only without toothpaste. Of course, it can be done, but it is absolutely not recommended! Toothpaste helps to strengthen the effect of cleansing and is very important and useful element, it is not necessary to brush your teeth without it even with such an advanced brush.

    These are typical misconceptions that are not based on any reasonable grounds.
