Is it good to clean your teeth?

Scaling is very good for dental and oral hygiene, it does not damage the teeth. And it can prevent many oral diseases. It can effectively remove some of the tartar and some dirty things, which makes our health better.

Myth: After scaling, I feel that the gap between my teeth has become larger and my teeth are loose, is it harmful to my teeth?

Truth: Scaling is done to remove bacteria, calculus, pigment, etc. from the tooth surface. Instead of being tightly attached to the root surface of the tooth, there is a sulcus to 2 mm long.

Food debris tends to accumulate in the gingival sulcus, making it a suitable area for bacteria to grow and multiply. This plaque builds up and over time becomes calculus. Dental calculus will constantly "eat" the gums, causing the gums to become inflamed and recede, which can eventually lead to tooth loss.

When these calculus are removed by scaling, the root is re-exposed and the tooth becomes sensitive. As for the enlargement between the teeth and the loosening of the teeth, it may be a sign that the gums have begun to recede.

Teeth cleaning will not cause harm to our oral teeth, the main purpose of teeth cleaning is to prevent oral diseases, protect our dental health, not just to look good.

Scaling is a routine operation for daily oral maintenance and is very beneficial for teeth. Scaling not only removes tartar, but also promotes the recovery of periodontal problems, so that the teeth can be used in a healthy way for a long time.

Why teeth cleaning is beneficial

Scaling is a process in which professional medical personnel remove calculus and plaque from the surface of the teeth through instruments.

At present, the general dental cleaning is ultrasonic tooth cleaning, through the high-frequency oscillation of ultrasound, the large pieces of dental calculus are cracked, and at the same time, with water mist irrigation, the calculus is rinsed away in time.

Calculus,Once formed, it adheres tightly to the surface of the tooth and cannot be effectively cleaned by daily brushing, rinsing and other operations. Therefore, only regular scaling can remove tartar and plaque from the surface of the teeth and restore the health of the teeth.

In clinical work, many patients who brush their teeth every day in time still have dental calculus, and there is more or less bleeding gums.

Therefore, dental cleaning not only removes foreign bodies from the tooth surface, but also promotes the recovery of gum inflammation, improves bad breath, and detects oral problems at an early stage.

Usually we talk about teeth cleaning refers to the use of ultrasonic high-frequency ** to break up tartar, enamel is a hard tissue with a high degree of calcification, its hardness is second only to diamond, so it will not wear teeth. Scaling only helps you to get rid of bacteria that are not cleaned or brushed off, and if you usually brush well, there is not so much calculus, so there will be no discomfort during or after the scaling process.

What is the purpose of scaling? Scaling is not to whiten teeth, but to remove bacteria, calculus, pigments, etc. from the tooth surface. When you have too much calculus, your gums will be compressed and retracted, and the height of the alveolar bone will be lowered accordingly, slowly like a tree without soil slowly loosening.

When we remove these calculus by scaling, the roots of the teeth are re-exposed and the teeth are more sensitive, so drinking hot and cold water will feel sour. As for the enlargement of the gap between the teeth and the loosening of the teeth, it means that there is a problem with the teeth, and it is likely that the gums have begun to recede, which is not caused by scaling, but by periodontal disease itself. If calculus is not removed in time, the situation will only get worse.

Scaling will not cause damage to the teeth, its main principle is to use an ultrasonic cleaning machine to remove the tartar on the surface of the teeth, not mechanical removal, and will have a protective effect on the teeth. Moreover, the main purpose of teeth cleaning is to prevent oral diseases, not just to look good.
