Afraid to brush your teeth? Do you have a misunderstanding about teeth cleaning? As people pay more attention to oral health care, teeth cleaning has been mentioned by more and more people. However, more and more people are asking questions about scaling: what exactly is scaling? Does brushing hurt your teeth? There are also people who have experienced tooth cleaning and said that their teeth feel loose after cleaning! For a while, teeth cleaning was pushed to the cusp.
Why brush your teeth?
First, let’s talk about the three major enemies of our oral health: pigment, plaque and calculus. Brushing our teeth every day can only remove most of the bacteria, and a lot of plaque and calculus will accumulate over a long period of time.
At present, ultrasonic cleaning is more commonly used for tooth cleaning. It uses the high-frequency and high-energy vibration generated by ultrasonic waves to crush the calculus, tooth stains, plaque and other stains on the surface of the teeth through the working head of the ultrasonic cleaning machine. The water mist washes down the gravel and plaque, which can effectively clean the teeth and prevent periodontal disease.
Will my teeth become loose after scaling?
Before teeth cleaning, the teeth are surrounded by a lot of calculus, especially for people with periodontitis, the amount of calculus is very large, then when the calculus is cleaned after teeth cleaning, The swollen and inflamed gums subside, and the loosening becomes apparent, which is just an illusion. Therefore, scaling not only does not cause tooth loosening, but can effectively prevent and treat periodontitis and prevent teeth from loosening and falling out.
Why do my teeth hurt after washing?
Many people who have washed their teeth say that their teeth become sore and sensitive, and they will become soft after eating. This is mainly because the root of the tooth itself is relatively sensitive. After scaling, the false protection of dental calculus is lost (the false ones are all false!), and they are suddenly completely exposed to the outside world. But don’t be nervous, the discomfort usually subsides within 1-2 weeks. Non-professionals in some small clinics or beauty salons should be selected for regular tooth cleaning. In order to pursue efficiency and economic benefits, the cleaning time is shortened, and the cleaning effect is extremely unsatisfactory. Moreover, if the cleaning operation is irregular, too much pressure is applied to the teeth, too much power is used, or too long staying at the same point, or even scraping with an ultrasonic handpiece, the enamel on the tooth surface will be damaged. Therefore, consumers are advised to choose a regular dental institution for cleaning their teeth and be responsible for their own teeth.
