Dental calculus is a milky white soft scale that covers the surface of the teeth at the opening of the salivary glands. If not treated in time, it will gradually calcify and harden. Calcium phosphate calculus adsorbed on the surface of teeth is an important pathogenic factor in the development of periodontal disease . If good oral hygiene habits are not developed, calculus will soon form calcium phosphate and adsorb on the surface of teeth.
Dental calculus is generally due to the lack of carbon dioxide , which cannot neutralize inorganic salts and promote the adsorption of inorganic salts on the tooth surface. And if the concentration of saliva is greater, the easier it is to form dental calculus. Dental calculus is an invasive body for the oral cavity. It will continuously attack the periodontal tissue, and will also compress the gums and affect the blood circulation inside the oral cavity, causing oral bacterial infection and gingival recession . Moreover, if a periodontal pocket is formed, it is easy for food residues, dental bacteria and other dirt to accumulate around the teeth, making it easier for dental calculus to be adsorbed on the surface of the teeth. Such a continuous vicious cycle can easily lead to the loss of teeth, thereby extracting the teeth, so dental calculus is easy to cause the teeth to fall out.
Of course, tartar can be prevented and treated. The main preventive measures are brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and gargling after meals. In this way, it is not easy to accumulate food residues, and the main substances that form calculus are eliminated. At the same time, it is necessary to adopt the correct brushing method and correct the horizontal brush, because the horizontal brush will damage the root of the tooth, so it is recommended to use the vertical brush method to brush the teeth, along the teeth. The veins can also remove food residues and tartar between the teeth, thereby preventing the formation and accumulation of dental calculus. At the same time, the brushing method can also massage the roots of the teeth and promote blood circulation, which can also enhance the immunity of the gums. Disease resistance, forming a good defense mechanism.
In the diet, you need to pay attention to a reasonable nutritional mix, and eat vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins Chewing thoroughly is good for cleaning your teeth. Eat as little sweets and sticky foods as possible. In addition, you should pay attention to an oral health check every six months or a year, and 2 to 3 full-mouth cleanings to make your teeth clean. And tooth tightness belongs to the state of cleanliness.
Although both ultrasonic scaling and dissolving calculus have good post-treatment effects on teeth, the most effective and common method is brushing. It is simple and effective. Regular brushing can remove tartar and calculus on the surface of teeth. timely processing. Of course, if the calculus is not treated in time, the calculus will be thicker and the adsorption will be compact. At this time, it needs the assistance of a dentist to remove it cleanly. In addition, we also need to pay attention to not eating sweets before going to bed at night. and other delicate foods.
