Yellow dental calculus is mainly formed by the accumulation of plaque and tartar deposits, which can usually be treated by ultrasonic scaling and general treatment. Patients are advised to visit a dental clinic as soon as possible, as long term untreated calculus may lead to periodontitis.
1. Ultrasonic scaling: ultrasonic waves can break up the calculus without harming the teeth and gums, and after using ultrasonic waves to break up the calculus, it needs to be rinsed out with a water spray. Subgingival calculus can also be rinsed out by using hydrogen peroxide solution to rinse the periodontal pockets to remove the remaining calculus fragments and granulation tissues after the ultrasonic wave is used to break up the calculus.
2. General treatment: patients need to develop good oral care habits, regular brushing, regular cleaning, and try to eat less sweets in daily life.
There may be a small amount of bleeding after calculus cleaning, which is normal, and patients should try to eat soft and light food after calculus cleaning.
