Does cleaning a tooth have side effect?
Cleaning is the main treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis treatment as a first step, is not merely to wash teeth white (in addition to sedimentary teeth can wash white pigments, caused by other reasons of yellow teeth are wash not white), the working principle of cleaning machine by high-frequency ultrasonic vibration to remove plaque, the vibration frequency up to 25000 ~ 30000 times per second.
Most gum disease by cleaning can be cured without teeth, after cleaning in the teeth of periodontitis stone removal and original swelling gum inflammation subsidise can make the gap is bigger, this tends to make the patient have a kind of illusion seems to be caused by cleaning, actually the tooth gap is a result of periodontal disease caused by absorption of alveolar bone, nothing to do with cleaning.
The vast majority of periodontitis is the development of gingivitis, which also reminds friends to pay attention to the gingivitis to treat early.
So does cleaning have side effects after all?
The answer is therapeutic if done correctly, and adverse if done incorrectly.
The first is that substandard tools can spread disease.
Followed by the pursuit of speed cleaning, the machine power is too rough tooth surface scratch.
The correct method is that the machine power should be adjusted to moderate according to the size and thickness of the calculus, and the force should be gentle. After surgery, the tooth surface should be fully polished with polishing paste, so that the tooth surface is not easy to deposit calculus again.
Again, it is to cater to the patient’s psychological fear of bleeding and only exposed in the gingival stone removal and subgingival stone is not cleaned, more is to wash teeth as a cure-all method, periodontitis patients only cleaning teeth is far from enough, this is just the most basic treatment.
All these reasons cause many patients to wash teeth every year and periodontitis is more and more serious.
Those WHO NEED TO REMIND IS, THE PATIENT THAT INSTALLS HEART PACEMAKER IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO USE ULTRASOUND TO CLEAN A TOOTH, LEST BECAUSE OF THE INTERFERENCE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATE CAUSE VERTIGO AND RHYTHM OF THE HEART DISORDER.
Patients with hepatitis, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases should not use ultrasound teeth cleaning, if necessary, the doctor can use instruments to clean teeth.
