Most people who have experienced scaling and cleaning love and hate the scaling and cleaning process because it is very effective in preventing and treating gingivitis, periodontitis and getting rid of bad breath, but the tooth soreness and pain brought about by the cleaning process is unbearable for many people. For this group of people, Director Guo Lixin Oral Jing suggests that desensitization or medication anti-inflammatory treatment can be done before the cleaning and avoid cold days and split the cleaning to relieve the pain. Now we will introduce you five tips to reduce the pain of dental cleaning. 1, desensitization treatment before scaling The soreness and tenderness during scaling is mainly caused by tooth sensitivity. According to clinical observation, most of the people who have severe soreness and tenderness during teeth cleaning are sensitive to hot, cold, sour and sweet stimuli in their daily life. And after the cleaning, you can still continue to use it for a period of time to reduce the soreness and tenderness after the cleaning. 2, anti-inflammatory treatment before scaling The pain caused by scaling is closely related to the presence of acute inflammation of the gums. It is observed that most people have a lower pain threshold for gums during the acute stage of gingivitis, and a slight touch with a soft-bristled toothbrush can cause pain, let alone cleaning. Therefore, he recommends checking whether the gums are in the acute inflammatory stage before scaling, and if they are in the acute inflammatory stage, then systemic or local anti-inflammatory medication should be administered first before scaling. For those who have more calculus, thicker calculus, poor anti-inflammatory effect or poor desensitization treatment, it is recommended to clean the teeth in several times, and continue anti-inflammatory treatment or desensitization treatment during the interval of cleaning, which can not only reduce the soreness, but also improve the anti-inflammatory or desensitization treatment effect, and reduce the “bloody smell” in the mouth during and after cleaning. This will not only reduce the soreness, but also improve the effect of anti-inflammatory or desensitizing treatment, and reduce the “bloody taste” in the mouth during and after the cleaning. 4. Avoid cleaning teeth in the cold winter In the cold winter, teeth are more sensitive to cold, and the cold water ejected from the head of the scaler may aggravate the soreness during the cleaning. Therefore, it is recommended that people who are particularly sensitive to cold stimuli avoid dental cleaning in the winter. 5. Regular dental cleaning The calculus accumulated over the years is so hard that it is necessary to increase the strength of the scaler to remove it, which will increase the soreness of the teeth. Therefore, it is recommended to clean teeth regularly for six months, one year or two years according to the formation of calculus and gum inflammation, because the newly formed calculus is small and loose, easy to remove and not easy to cause soreness when cleaning teeth.
