Don’t wash your teeth? Be careful periodontitis eats your bones! Everyone seems to have a deep misunderstanding about teeth scaling. Many people think that it doesn’t matter if you wash or not! But if you don’t wash your teeth, periodontitis will eat your bones. Today, let’s talk about the consequences of not cleaning your teeth. What is the most important thing in cleaning your teeth, yes, it is dental calculus! So what happens if you don’t deal with your dental calculus all the time?
1. The culprit that stimulates the gums to cause red, swollen and bleeding gums is dental calculus. If you usually bleed when you brush your teeth and eat apples, it is the ghost of dental calculus. This is to remind you that it is time to wash your teeth!
2. Oral ulcers and bad breath The stimulation of calculus and the toxins produced by its attachments will also lead to ulcers on the inside of the gums, which are not easy to heal, thereby aggravating bleeding gums and bad breath!
3. Cause various periodontal diseases When the gums are prone to inflammation and shrinkage, and the formation of periodontal pockets is more likely to lead to the accumulation of food residues, dental calculus, dental plaque, etc., and further damage the periodontal ligament. Over time, this vicious cycle will cause the periodontal tissue to be completely destroyed, and even the alveolar bone will be resorbed, resulting in loose teeth.
4. Ugly! The teeth are yellow and the calculus is heavy. If you don’t wash your teeth, how do you go to the mouth when you kiss? So how does periodontal disease endanger oral health? Although periodontal disease is scary, it is also a gradual process. It will not make people lose their teeth as soon as they start. It can also be said to be a process from gingivitis to periodontitis. Gingivitis area: Inflammation confined to the soft tissue of the gums, mainly caused by plaque.
Symptoms: It will cause red, swollen and bleeding gums, and the stippling will disappear, but it will not cause periodontal pockets or loose teeth. At this stage, gingivitis is still reversible, but if early treatment is not carried out at this stage, gingivitis will further develop into periodontitis, and the probability is abnormally high. Periodontitis area: Inflammation not only occurs around the gums, but also includes the entire periodontal tissue such as the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone, mostly developed from long-standing gingivitis.
Symptoms: Don’t ignore it because the initial symptoms are not obvious. Although periodontitis is not painful or itchy in the early stage, symptoms such as periodontal pockets, alveolar bone atrophy, and loose teeth will appear in the later stage. The most important thing is that the gingival recession caused by severe periodontal disease is irreversible! Even after treatment, it is no longer possible to recover to the previous level of health~ Let me tell you a data for everyone to feel: In 1986, stomatologists analyzed the reasons for the extraction of more than 10,000 teeth, and found that periodontitis accounted for about 10,000 teeth extracted. 44% of the reasons. The alveolar bone atrophy and gum recession caused by periodontitis are irreversible, and the lost teeth will not grow back. For periodontal disease, prevention has always been more important than treatment! So, after reading this, do you dare not brush your teeth?
