After reading this article, don’t ask if cleaning is good?
Search the Internet for “How about a dental cleaning?”
“, will pop up a variety of answers, can not help but make people confused.
To my surprise, 54% of netizens think that cleaning is not good. The reason why people worry about cleaning is that they are worried about the following problems: 1. Will cleaning make the gap between teeth bigger?
2. Will it hurt your teeth?
3. Will it spread diseases?
4. Will your teeth become sensitive?
1) Will cleaning widen the gap between teeth?
The accumulation of tooth stone, add stone “stimulate gum”, CAUSE INFLAMMATION TO FILL TOOTH SEAM THEREBY (PS: MANY people SAY TO RELY ON TOOTH STONE TO HOLD UP THAT MOUTH OLD TOOTH COMPLETELY, COLD FACE).
So the truth is: dental stones hide what your teeth really look like.
When cleaning, this tooth stone is cleaned, the original position occupied by the tooth stone is empty, “gum inflammation is eliminated”, redness and swelling subside, so the gap between the teeth becomes obvious.
Normally, after a teeth cleaning, you have good oral hygiene, and the gums are able to climb up and fill the gap, but most people brush their teeth by mistake, so…
The gap will stay there, even the original place will grow calculus, and so on and so on eventually lead to periodontitis, alveolar bone resorption, and the tooth will loosen, giving the impression that the gap is bigger.
2) Will cleaning hurt your teeth?
Our teeth are covered in enamel, which is as hard as diamonds, and if you want to wear it out, you need a diamond-grade drill to clean your teeth.
In addition, the mainstream method of dental cleaning in hospitals or outpatient clinics is ultrasonic cleaning, which is simply to remove dental stones by ultrasonic vibration and water spray flushing.
The principle is vibration!
Shake!
Shake!
So the stone is not powder but lump, you do not have to worry about wear teeth.
Unless the operation is irregular, it may damage the teeth!
3) Do you feel sensitive when you wash your teeth?
Tooth washing to wash the tooth stone, tooth is like taking off the thick tooth stone armor, will certainly be sensitive to the outside cold, hot, sour and sweet, for example, the most popular example, we rub the bath and then go to the hot water bubble will feel particularly hot!
The sensitivity of teeth after cleaning is the same reason, but the degree of tooth sensitivity will generally disappear in a few days, so do not worry.
4) Will dental cleaning spread diseases?
If the department of stomatology in a regular hospital for medical treatment, this concern is redundant, the use of regular dentistry are disposable oral instruments, are strictly sterilized, dental appliances a set of one person, patients will not get infectious diseases.
On the other hand, dental tools that are not thoroughly disinfected and shared by many people may become infected.
Simple summary: Cleaning only restores the true appearance of teeth, but does not harm them.
The whole process of cleaning teeth is introduced below: Before cleaning teeth: before cleaning teeth, the doctor will understand your basic situation, some friends with more serious periodontitis, need to take panoramic film before cleaning, to understand the periodontal situation.
More severe cases require further treatment.
When cleaning: Step 1, Oral disinfection Step 2, Topical anaesthesia Apply topical anaesthesia to your gums. To make the process more comfortable (after all, deep cleaning can be a bit painful), you don’t need to do this if your teeth are relatively insensitive.
The third step, the ultrasonic dentist is very careful to clean each tooth, it is a little sour, not very comfortable, because the tooth stone is more.
The fourth step, sandblasting, uses a high-pressure air stream to spray a kind of salt onto the tooth surface to remove the dirty things on the tooth surface and crevice, which is to do further cleaning for the teeth.
The fifth step, polishing the process is relatively comfortable, feel that the doctor is to brush their teeth.
(If the teeth are not polished after cleaning, dirt can easily cling to the teeth and quickly form new calculus.)
The sixth step, rinse medicine, is the last step after cough teeth: do not gargle within half an hour, do not drink water, do not eat.
The proposal comes to the hospital periodontal department every half year to have a cleaning.
For no other reason than your oral health.
