What is scaling? A: Deposited on the teeth of tartar, plaque, plaque and stains, very unattractive, more likely to cause periodontal disease and bad breath, but daily brushing can not be brushed off, which requires a dentist to use a special instrument to remove it clean, what is tartar? What is tartar? A: Plaque combines with calcium and phosphorus ions in saliva to calcify into tartar. It is like the scale at the bottom of a kettle after boiling water. No matter how well you brush your teeth, tartar will form over time. Do I need to clean my teeth again after one cleaning? A: There is no such thing as a one-time cleaning. Because teeth are used every day, they will get dirty again. How often should I have my teeth cleaned? A: About half a year to a year. It depends on your oral condition and your dentist’s recommendation. What are the dangers of not cleaning my teeth? A: Tartar, plaque, plaque, long-term in the gums will produce a large number of bacteria, stimulate inflammation of the gums, bleeding, swelling, resulting in bad breath, and make the gums shrinking root exposure, tooth loosening, loss. Why do some people have loose teeth after scaling? A: If your teeth are in good periodontal condition and have less calculus, the correct method of scaling will never loosen your teeth. For those who have bad periodontal condition and a lot of tartar before, this “loosening” phenomenon may occur – in fact, it is a normal phenomenon – let’s compare the teeth to a A big tree. A tree is nourished by the soil next to it. If a tree is surrounded by rocks, it will be stable, but it will not be nourished. In the future, it will slowly die. So we need to remove the stones and put soil on it. Although the tree will be a little loose when the stones are taken away and replaced by soil, it will be fine when the soil is solid. It will be fine later when the soil is solid. The stability and nutritional source of a tooth depends on the gums and alveolar bone next to it. If there is tartar next to the tooth, the tooth will be stable, but it will die later because there is no nutrition. Although it is a little loose at the time, it is beneficial in the long run. Why do some people’s teeth get bigger after cleaning? A: For those with good periodontal conditions, this is basically not a problem. When you have tartar on your teeth, it is the tartar that originally plugs up the gap where the flesh would have grown. When you wash away the stones, of course, the gap is exposed. Teeth are like big trees. If you remove the stones next to the tree, you will feel that the empty space between your teeth will become bigger! Why are my teeth sore after cleaning? A: Teeth are like big trees. After removing the stone next to the big tree, part of the tree root, which is the root of the tooth, is exposed, and the root of the tooth is not protected by tooth enamel, so it will be sour. Is it necessary to polish my teeth after scaling? A: Polishing after a dental cleaning is like waxing after a car wash. Polishing makes the teeth brighter and the surface of the teeth less likely to be stained. In addition, polishing can also minimize tooth sensitivity after scaling. Does scaling hurt? Will it bleed? A: No. Individual teeth may be a little sore. (When you feel sore, be sure to tell your doctor or assistant. This means that you have sensitive teeth. We also have a solution for this. If you normally bleed when you brush your teeth, you will most likely bleed when you have your teeth cleaned, and the degree is proportional to the amount of tartar and the degree of gum inflammation. What should I pay attention to after I have just had my teeth cleaned? A: Don’t eat too hard food in the short term, less exposure to too cold, too hot food, so that the teeth have an adaptation process, loose or acid symptoms will be relieved. (Depending on the specific situation. For those who do not experience any discomfort during the scaling process, there are generally no significant dietary concerns after scaling. Take care to drink fewer acidic beverages such as Coca-Cola, colored foods or smoking.
