In our daily life, we always envy something we don’t have. Why do Africans and also Europeans and Americans have such white teeth. Could it be that they brush their teeth a little more diligently than we do? First of all, there are genetic reasons and natural herbal reasons for the white and healthy teeth of Africans. In Europe and America, it is because dental cleaning has become a very popular oral health care routine, and people regularly go to their dentist once or twice a year for a cleaning.
How can you make your teeth white?
Brush your teeth every day, morning and evening. Why are your teeth still a little yellow?
1, there is a gum groove between the gums and the tooth surface. It is easy to accumulate food debris and attach plaque when it is closed.
2, the area below the adjacent point of the teeth is also difficult to clean thoroughly, and brushing alone does not completely remove foreign matter.
3. New plaque will be formed within half an hour after thorough cleaning of the teeth.
With more plaque, the color of the teeth will also change. In addition, plaque will form new calculus over time, and the original calculus is difficult to be removed due to its high hardness, and the calculus will increase, resulting in periodontitis, bleeding, bad breath, and eventually loose teeth, or even loss. This makes people a bit desperate. It is better to have a professional medical scaling.
What is scaling for?
Most people do it to make their teeth whiter, but the main purpose of scaling is not that.
1. To remove bacteria, calculus and other tartar from the tooth surface.
2, can reduce the inflammatory condition of gingivitis, periodontitis.
3, to facilitate the detection of oral diseases by doctors.
4, the teeth become white.
The most important purpose of scaling is to prevent and control oral diseases, not to cure periodontal disease, and further diagnosis and professional treatment are needed to cure periodontal disease.
Where to go for scaling?
Scaling with manual instruments takes about three hours; scaling with ultrasonic scaling machine also takes about an hour. However, some patients say that they have their teeth cleaned in some dental clinics or beauty salons in just 10 or so minutes. Washing should be thorough, and there are great hazards in scaling teeth in irregular places.
1, no deep cleaning, can not effectively prevent periodontal disease.
2, damage to the gums, aggravating the condition of periodontitis.
3. it is very easy to cause cross infection.
Therefore, it is necessary to go to a hospital or a regular dental clinic when scaling your teeth.
What are the disadvantages of scaling?
Some friends say that the teeth will have a sour feeling. This is not damage to the teeth. Scaling performed in hospitals and regular dental clinics is to remove calculus and calcified stains from the surface of the teeth by ultrasonic high-frequency oscillation, which in turn protects the gums. Theoretically, this cleaning is not wear and tear on the teeth.
Some friends are reluctant to go for scaling because they are worried that scaling will cause irreparable damage to the teeth by removing the natural protective layer of the teeth.
The feeling of soreness and enlarged gaps is because the tartar and other tartar is removed and the teeth can be open to the air and sensitive. If it is a healthy tooth, the strange feeling will disappear after a period of time. If the gap is large, it means that there is periodontal disease itself, and without timely scaling, the gums will further recede, which will lead to loose teeth instead.
