Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about their dental health, and many people regard teeth cleaning as a routine oral health care method, cleaning their teeth every six months or a year. There is no doubt that teeth cleaning can help people to clean the plaque, calculus, and pigment deposited on the tooth surface, which is of great benefit to the prevention of periodontal disease and caries. But many people say that scaling your teeth hurts your teeth, causing bleeding gums and sore teeth. So, is cleaning your teeth hurting your teeth or protecting your teeth?
What is the principle of teeth cleaning
Regular hospitals use ultrasonic cleaning machines. Its principle is to crush calculus through the high-frequency vibration of ultrasonic waves. However, this small needle has no grinding effect on the teeth, nor does it have any cutting function, so it is said that it is harmful to the human body. teeth will not be harmed. In addition, after people wash their teeth, the doctor will also add a protective film to the outside of their teeth by polishing and sandblasting to help you slow down the rate of stone accumulation, which is very good for the protection of people’s teeth.
However, the quick scaling methods provided by small clinics and beauty salons may bring adverse consequences to the scalers, not only causing damage to the scalers’ enamel itself, forming surface scratches that are invisible to the naked eye, but also damaging the gums, aggravate the condition of periodontal disease.
Why do the gums bleed and the gap between the teeth becomes larger after teeth cleaning?
Usually, the calculus is firmly attached to the surface of the teeth around the gums, and the soft scale adheres to the rough calculus and breeds a large number of bacteria, causing the gums to become congested and edema, so it will cause bleeding when we brush our teeth. However, when scaling and cleaning the calculus, it will inevitably touch the fragile gums, and bleeding is normal at this time.
In addition, many people who have washed their teeth have also experienced that the teeth become white and clean, but the gap between the teeth has become larger. The enlargement of the gap between the teeth is only a visual impression, because the periodontal shrinks to varying degrees when suffering from periodontitis, and the swollen gums and calculus fill the interdental space. The gap between the teeth is not caused by cleaning the teeth but caused by periodontal disease itself. Therefore, scaling itself will not cause the gap between the teeth to become larger, and such people should pay more attention to cleaning after scaling.
All in all, regular operation of teeth cleaning is more pros than cons. However, the treatment of periodontal disease needs to be done step by step. You must also maintain personal oral hygiene and brush your teeth carefully. It is best to use dental floss and an interdental brush to clean the interdental space. In addition, if the cleaning head is not strictly sterilized or disposable instruments are used, people are very easy to transmit diseases and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, it is necessary to go on the right track place for teeth cleaning to avoid the harm caused to the human body by irregular service.
