Why regular oral examination and teeth cleaning are necessary?
The oral cavity is the best environment for bacteria to grow. Bacteria combine with the tooth surface to form plaque, and mineralize to form tartar attached to the tooth surface. Bacteria + food + a certain period of time can cause dental caries. Plaque and tartar can stimulate the gums, leading to gum inflammation, often manifested as bleeding during toothbrushing, bleeding when biting food, and bad breath, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to periodontitis, causing teeth to loosen or even fall out. At the same time, tartar and plaque cannot be removed by simply brushing teeth. Only teeth cleaning can remove the attachments on the tooth surface.
In addition, for those who smoke and drink tea for a long time, a large amount of smoke stains and pigments are deposited on the tooth surface. Smoke stains and pigments cannot be removed by simply brushing teeth. Only teeth cleaning can make them clear and restore the natural whiteness of the teeth.
In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, oral hygiene and health care are highly valued, and teeth cleaning once every six months is advocated. With the improvement of the quality of life in China and the popularization of oral hygiene knowledge, teeth have received more attention, and more and more people request teeth cleaning. Teeth cleaning centers generally use ultrasonic teeth cleaning, followed by grinding and polishing after teeth cleaning to make the tooth surface smooth and less likely to attach.
Tooth calculus
Tooth calculus is a calcified or calcifying hard substance deposited on the tooth or denture surface. It is formed by the gradual deposition of calcium salts in saliva or gingival sulcus fluid on plaque or soft dirt, and is not easy to remove after formation.
According to the deposition site, tooth calculus can be divided into supra-gingival calculus and sub-gingival calculus. Tooth calculus can stimulate the gums, leading to gum inflammation, often manifested as bleeding during toothbrushing, bleeding when biting food, and bad breath, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to periodontitis, causing teeth to loosen or even fall out.
Tartar and plaque cannot be removed by simply brushing teeth. Only teeth cleaning can remove the attachments on the tooth surface. Choosing a professional dental clinic for regular teeth cleaning is the best way for you to protect the health of your teeth.
Tooth plaque
Bacteria in the oral cavity combine with the tooth surface to form plaque. Plaque mineralizes to form tartar attached to the tooth surface. Plaque and tartar constantly stimulate the gums, leading to gum inflammation and even other inflammations. Plaque bacteria + food + a certain period of time can cause dental caries and cause pain.
