Can scaling whiten teeth? Teeth whitewashed, okay?

<> will explain to you today whether teeth cleaning can whiten your teeth.

When it comes to teeth cleaning, many people ask, will it turn white after cleaning?

First of all, yellow teeth: there are three reasons.

First: exogenic coloring, (meaning tooth surface coloring) This coloring is related to the food with pigments eaten in daily life, including [smoking, drinking tea and coffee], which will cause colored substances to attach to the tooth surface, when these colored substances are attached to the tooth surface and are not removed in time, then with the extension of time, these colored substances will slowly penetrate into the inside of the tooth, which will cause tooth coloring. However, this kind of coloring takes a long time factor to cause, as long as you brush your teeth regularly and wash your teeth regularly, it is rare.

Second: endogenous staining, (meaning the staining of the tooth tissue itself) There are two types of this coloring.

<> this is dental fluorosis, which is caused by high fluoride content caused by contamination of water consumed before the age of eight when the teeth are still developing.

This type of tooth is also the most common. [In the past few years, remote towns and villages have been caused by large-scale pollution of groundwater caused by a large amount of sewage discharge by some illegal enterprises], some are several villages, and some are entire regions, so this kind of tooth is the most. The severity of tooth staining is related to water pollution and the length of consumption.

In contrast, fewer people have this type of tooth. The cause of this type of tooth is the use of (tetracycline medication), and whitening of this type of tooth is not recommended.

Third: it is genetic, and there is uncertainty about this factor.

Explanation: "Scaling is the cleaning of the tooth surface by means of an instrument to remove the residue that adheres to the tooth surface, and it will not have a whitening effect on the teeth].

Then some friends said that my teeth have turned a lot whiter after cleaning! In fact, it is not that your teeth have turned white, but that the tartar attached to the surface of your teeth has been cleaned off, showing the color of your teeth itself means that your teeth are not yellow.

If you only have yellow teeth and do not have a second condition, then it is recommended that you go to the dentist for teeth whitening.

If you are the second type (intrinsic tooth staining), then it is recommended that you go for cold light or laser whitening.

Tetracycline teeth are more troublesome, and restorative whitening is recommended for more serious ones.

Scaling is mainly used to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth, which can detect oral diseases early. Many people misunderstand the existence of teeth cleaning, thinking that after teeth cleaning, the gap between the teeth will become larger, the teeth will loosen, and the teeth will be cleaned, and the idea that teeth cleaning is just a kind of whitening is not right.

Although daily brushing can remove some plaque, with the accumulation of time, calculus will slowly form under the action of bacteria, which can not be removed by brushing, only tooth cleaning.

Nowadays, most dental clinics and hospitals use ultrasonic scaling, because the ultrasonic tooth head does not have any destructive function, it can remove the calculus on the teeth, and the doctor will move slowly and gently during the operation, and the pressure will not damage the teeth, so there is no need to worry, there are other *** after the tooth cleaning.

In fact, many people have a misunderstanding of the color of their teeth, and many people think that healthy teeth are pure white, just like the teeth of models in toothpaste advertisements. In fact, this is wrong. The structure of a normal tooth is a transparent layer of enamel containing yellowish dentin, so it can reveal part of the color of the dentin, so the color of the normal tooth should be slightly yellowish.

Teeth that are particularly white and have no transparency often give an unreal feeling.

In daily use, some pigments will definitely accumulate on the surface of the teeth, which can make the color of the teeth look more unsightly. An important goal of scaling is to remove these pigments as much as possible, so after a perfect scaling, the teeth will be exposed to their own color, i.e. a faint yellow, as the pigments are well removed.

In general, there will be a certain degree of whitening of teeth after scaling, but as a means of preventing and ** periodontal disease, the effect of scaling to whiten teeth is extremely limited. Patients can improve the appearance of their teeth more significantly through other methods such as cold light whitening, aesthetic restoration, and other techniques.

After scaling, why is there an illusion that calculus will grow faster?

Our dental calculus doesn't form overnight, so it's not noticeable. However, after scaling, these "pseudo-protections" that have accumulated over the years are removed, and the thick calculus is gone, and the teeth are seen again.

but！！！

1) When we lick with our tongue, it will feel rougher and the gap between our teeth will become larger. In the face of such a phenomenon, it is easy to form an illusion, and after scaling, the teeth become very rough and the gap between the teeth becomes larger, and it is easier to deposit things.

2) At the same time, the Chinese people's attention to oral cavity is generally low, and the propaganda and education work of dental institutions is also very lacking. If you still do not improve your oral hygiene habits after scaling, the tartar will quickly re-form.

3) In the process of scaling, it is routinely necessary to polish the tooth surface to slow down the rate of plaque deposition.

3) Conventional scaling requires polishing of the teeth to slow down the rate of plaque deposition, and if there is no polishing, tartar is easy to deposit.

Important: Only good oral hygiene maintenance can greatly reduce the rate of calculus formation.

There's only one reason for that: bacteria can never be killed, plaque is always forming, and you can't skip a meal. Therefore, timely removal of plaque is the key to inhibiting the formation of dental calculus, and it is necessary to do a good job of these daily and effective oral basic care (bass brushing, dental floss, interdental brush) Of course, there is food impaction can be used with water flosser, and oral odor can be combined with mouthwash and tongue scraper.

Regular teeth cleaning can supplement the lack of daily oral hygiene maintenance, so as to truly ensure oral health. It is generally recommended to clean your teeth every half to a year, and if you are a regular smoker, it is best to clean your teeth once every six months.

In the end, teeth cleaning is like scrubbing a bath, and a black person is still black after washing, so it cannot be whitened. Since it is a scrubbing bath, what is rubbed off is dead skin and dirty things, so the enamel will not be washed off, maybe the rubbing bath will be red and painful, but if it is really too dirty, it should be rubbed and rubbed. Tooth cleaning is neither a flood of beasts that can not be washed, nor is it a foot massage that comes to health care when there is nothing to do.

Advantage. As we all know, tooth decay (i.e., tooth decay) and periodontal disease (often manifested as tooth brushing bleeding, loose tooth loss, etc.) are the two main oral diseases that plague humans, both of which are mainly caused by plaque bacteria.

Because many people do not practice good oral hygiene habits and do not brush their teeth in the morning and evening or in the correct way, food debris in the mouth and the inherent microflora in the mouth will combine and form plaque on the surface of the teeth. If not cleaned in time, plaque will combine with calcium and phosphorus ions in human saliva to calcify into tartar, which is the main culprit of most toothaches, bad breath, bleeding gums, loose teeth, etc. Brushing is powerless for plaque and tartar that have already formed.

The main purpose of periodontal cleaning (that is, people often say tooth cleaning) is to remove plaque, tartar and pigment deposited on the tooth surface at the junction between the teeth and the gums, so as to remove the local *** element, so that the gum damage stops the development and returns to a relatively healthy state.

Scaling not only maintains oral hygiene, but also removes dirt from the surface of the teeth and restores the natural color of the teeth. However, it should be noted that scaling is different from bleaching in that it does not remove the pigment from the inside of the tooth, and does not really whiten the tooth.

In fact, the ultrasound cleaning head used in scaling does not have any cutting function, it is the high-frequency vibration of ultrasound to break up the tartar, and the doctor has to constantly move the working head during the operation, and there is no pressure, just gently touching the tartar, so that the teeth will not be damaged. However, if the operation is not done properly, such as pressurization or staying on the tooth surface for too long, it will leave small scratches on the tooth surface, and the fine rough surface can be seen under the microscope, and this scratch can be compensated by polishing.
