My true identity – revealed My name is calculus, I live on the surface of your teeth, at first I was a “soft girl”, a soft creamy yellow tartar, after calcification, I gradually hardened, and became a head piece of “hard man “I started out as a soft, creamy yellow tartar. I started out living on the surface of your teeth very low-key, you will not hurt or itch, almost no feeling oh! Not even aware of my presence! But once I develop and grow and take over your mouth, you may suffer from incurable dental disease because of me! My birth history – produced I did not pop out of a stone. Every time you eat a good meal, the food is chewed in your mouth and mixed with saliva to become a fine, digestible chyme and part of the food residue, while slowly forming plaque on the weekend of your teeth, that’s right! Plaque is my predecessor! Then, my best helper “calcification” will help me “form”, the plaque and food debris will be soaked in saliva after 24 hours will be calcified by the ingredients in the saliva, and become the initial tartar! Peaceful coexistence – is it possible? I’m a very spontaneous person! I like to be “lively”, I have to stimulate the gums every day, the gums will become inflamed, and sometimes the inner gums will ulcerate, your teeth will have bleeding gums, bad breath and periodontal infection, etc.. I am not only a tough guy, but also an “enemy base of operations”, I will breed more plaque while attracting more bacterial toxins, and my team will grow bigger and bigger! After I “accumulate” efforts, you will be replaced with periodontal disease, when your periodontal disease is getting worse! You may have to pull out this tooth! This tooth becomes my trophy! Those who want to destroy me – listen up! Clean your teeth! As mentioned above, I am still soft tartar when I first form, and using the oral cleaning method or careful brushing, I will be eliminated! But once I have successfully transformed, that is, calcified, the toothbrush can not do anything with me! You can only go to a regular dental hospital to deal with me! Ultrasonic scaling, which is aimed at removing the calculus part of the teeth, which is my natural enemy! Does scaling hurt your teeth? You all think “scaling” hurts your teeth, don’t you? How naive! The ultrasonic head should be able to shake down your tooth enamel, where is the dignity of teeth as the hardest part of the body that exists! Don’t be fooled by ignorance! In fact, scaling does not damage your teeth, but plays a certain role in dental health care, every six months or once a year to the hospital scaling, can effectively solve the problems of teeth and periodontal tissue, restore oral health. Why is scaling not harmful to teeth? It is a misconception that “the more teeth are cleaned, the looser they become”. Many people think that after scaling, the gap between the teeth increases and the teeth become sensitive, but in fact, these are normal reactions after thoroughly removing the long-term buildup on the surface of the teeth and in the interdental space, and are not caused by scaling. Other people think that scaling will wash away the enamel on the surface of the teeth, resulting in soreness and weakness of the teeth, and that it is a bad scaling of the teeth. This argument is also not based on science, regular scaling does not cause any damage to teeth and periodontal tissues! The brief tooth sensitivity after scaling will disappear after 3-5 days!
