Recently, I met several patients with severe periodontitis who came to consult with me, and it was a pity that all their teeth were loose when they looked good. When you really understand the dental cleaning, you will still be afraid? 1, brush your teeth every day, why do you need to scaling Many friends think that every day brush your teeth without scaling, in fact, very wrong. Most people brush their teeth haphazardly, a minute to get it done, and no correct brushing method, the effect can be imagined. Plaque is generated very quickly and will accumulate again soon after brushing. In fact, dental cleaning itself is a kind of health care, and it is best to clean your teeth once or twice a year. If the periodontal environment is poor, you should follow up on time according to the situation. 2, scaling hurts teeth Many people have concerns about scaling, thinking that scaling will loosen teeth and even damage them. In fact, regular scaling does not harm the teeth. Some people feel that the teeth have become loose and the gap has become bigger after scaling, in fact, it is because, before scaling, tartar stimulation leads to resorption of alveolar bone and local swelling of gums to fill the gap, and after scaling, the tooth stimulus disappears and the support of tartar “fence” is lost, while the swelling of gums subsides, so the gap becomes obvious and the teeth are looser, these These are actually self-perceptions, just like a person wearing tight clothes every day, suddenly changed, will be very relaxed look. 3, scaling will be painful, will bleed Many friends also know that they should go to scaling, but the reason for throwing in the towel and refusing to scaling is because they are afraid of pain and gum bleeding. If the gums are bleeding, excluding systemic diseases, it is very likely to be gingivitis or periodontitis, if the fear of pain and bleeding is deterred, the development of severe periodontitis, the whole mouth teeth loose, it is not worth the loss. “Long pain is better than short pain”, some tartar hidden under the red and swollen gums, the pain and bleeding during the scaling process is inevitable, of course, if you do not want to endure the pain, “painless dentistry” can help you. 4, scaling leads to tooth sensitivity By scaling to remove the “thick camouflage” of the tooth surface, the teeth exposed to the oral environment may produce soreness and a feeling of dissimilarity. If the teeth themselves are healthy, the soreness will gradually disappear within one to two weeks after the scaling. If not relieved, desensitization treatment can be taken, and later scaling can be solved by regular, divided cleaning. 5, the teeth will become white after scaling The normal tooth color is slightly yellow in white. The main purpose of scaling is to remove tartar, stains and other inflammatory stimuli, and will not significantly change the normal color of the teeth.
