Still wondering if you should have your teeth cleaned?
You will find the answer after reading this article!
Cleaning is to clean the teeth, many people to small De raised a question “why wash the teeth or yellow teeth.”
In fact, tooth washing is equivalent to a scrub, black wash or black, so can not whiten.
Teeth cleaning is to remove the dirty things on the teeth, this dirty things mainly refers to pigment and calculus.
For dental cleaning, there are a lot of misunderstandings, small de according to the public number usually small partners asked some questions to do a detailed answer.
Myth 1: “I brush my teeth every morning and evening so I don’t have to clean my teeth.”
Where does calculus come from?
Calculus is formed when calcium in saliva is deposited on the bacteria on the teeth.
And saliva in the mouth and bacteria are endless, even if you brush your teeth every day, or you are a dentist, also cannot do brush teeth on the dirty things completely off, always have ventured to brush, accumulate over a long period is formed pieces tartar, like oysters on stone by the sea, is sticky plaque on your teeth, then slowly grow up, can strong, brush brush out.
Misunderstanding two: “cleaning teeth especially painful!
It hurts! It hurts!”
“Teeth are so sensitive after cleaning!
Fear of heat and cold!”
Let’s talk about these two issues.
It’s the relationship between cleaning and tooth sensitivity.
Having your teeth cleaned isn’t that scary.
At least it’s not so scary if you get used to it.
I want to make it clear that this isn’t exactly a rumor busting day, because cleaning is really hard.
This is caused by the purpose and method of dental cleaning.
Teeth cleaning is to remove the dirty things on the teeth, mainly calculus.
The most common places for tartar to grow are in areas that are difficult to clean, such as the junction between a tooth and a gum shown on the left.
At this junction is the white, hard enamel of the tooth itself and the young, sensitive root.
The red circle is shown below.
Even in the absence of periodontal disease, touching this position with a metal instrument can cause some discomfort.
But the discomfort is tolerable.
I hope you can take courage.
Also, after dental cleaning, many people report that their teeth become more sensitive than before.
This kind of comrade has been suffering from periodontitis of different degrees commonly, similar to the following figure.
The left side of this picture is a normal periodontal situation. The gingiva protects the fragile root very well and isolates all kinds of cold and hot stimuli from the outside world.
On the right is a case of periodontitis. Due to the chronic compression of the calculus and the inflammation of the gums, the gums start to shrink as the enemy advances and the gums retreat.
Once the gums recede, the root should be exposed, but this happens slowly. As the gums recede, the root is covered with calculus.
Although the calculus is dirty, although harmful, but it is for the root of the tooth to isolate the external stimulation.
Therefore, when the calculus has been silently growing for five years, ten years later, once the calculus is suddenly washed away, the gums have atrophed, the fragile root is directly exposed to the mouth again, and directly taste the spicy hot pot, Haagen-DaZs, cold Coke…
The tooth collapses happily, and sharp, short, sharp pain begins.
So cleaning is only the cause of sensitive teeth, the real root or periodontal disease.
If you dare not wash your teeth because of fear of sensitivity, it will lead to periodontal disease and eventually loose teeth.
