I don’t know if you guys in front of the screen, when brushing their teeth or looking in the mirror, have you noticed a yellow, hard "little stone" on the inside of the teeth? Sometimes I can still hold it down with my hands and put it under my nose. The smell is like the stinky tofu on the snack street, which is unforgettable.
This small stone is tartar . Why does dentites form
?
Whenever people eat perfect food, the food will be mixed with saliva and become tiny crumbs and some food residues. These residues and crumbs will slowly form plaque around the teeth. The plaque and food residues can calcify into tartars after only 24 hours in soaking saliva.
Don’t look at this small tartar, its harm is really great.
Sometimes it will irritate the gums, and the gums will become inflamed and ulcers will appear. In severe cases, it will also cause periodontal disease .
Seeing this, many friends will definitely say that it is just a small stone attached to the teeth. It will be solved soon after it is deducted, but I often deducted it. Xiao Miao wanted to say that this tartar is really undeductible.
or is it feasible to pick teeth with your hands?
Many friends always like to pick up teeth stones with their hands. After picking off a whole "stone", they will feel inexplicably happy. But this approach is wrong.
Picking teeth with your hands is not only easy to cause gum damage, but may also cause gum inflammation. And if you pick it off yourself, it will often not be clean, causing sharp edges to remain in the tartar, which may rub against the tongue, oral mucosa, etc., causing traumatic ulcers .
Therefore, it is obviously not feasible to deal with tartars by yourself.
What should I do if I have tartars?
The best way to remove tartars is to clean teeth, generally using ultrasonic teeth cleaning.
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning will directly use the high-frequency oscillation of the machine to shake and smash the tartars from the attached teeth bit by bit, and finally completely remove them.
However, it should be noted that it takes at least half a year after teeth cleaning. If you do not do a good job of oral cleaning, tartars will continue to occur. Therefore, don’t think that everything will be fine if you clean your teeth. Daily oral hygiene should be done well.
Will teeth cleaning harm your teeth?
However, some people are worried that cleaning teeth will hurt teeth, but in fact, such worries are completely unnecessary.
The ultrasonic working head used when washing teeth does not have any cutting function. It relies on the high-frequency vibration of ultrasonic waves to break the tartar. It will not pressurize during use. It just touches the tartar gently and will not damage the teeth.
Some people feel that the gaps between teeth become larger and the teeth are sore after washing them. This is mainly because tartars block the gaps in the teeth and provide a breeding ground for bacterial reproduction, which leads to the gaps between teeth becoming larger and the roots exposed, and is not caused by teeth cleaning.
has said so much, and finally I hope everyone must brush their teeth carefully and clean their teeth regularly!
