Regularly check the methods of teeth cleaning and brushing

Why do we need regular oral check ups and teeth cleaning?

The oral cavity is the best environment for bacterial growth. After bacteria combine with the tooth surface, they form plaque and mineralize to form tartar attached to the tooth surface. Bacteria, food, and a certain amount of time can cause dental caries. Plaque and tartar can cause irritation to the gums, leading to gum inflammation, often manifested as bleeding from brushing teeth, bleeding from biting food, and bad breath. In severe cases, it can lead to periodontitis, causing teeth to loosen or even fall out. At the same time, brushing teeth alone cannot remove tartar and plaque, only cleaning teeth can remove attachments on the tooth surface.

In addition, people who smoke or drink tea for a long time tend to accumulate a large amount of smoke stains and pigments on the surface of their teeth, which cannot be removed by simply brushing their teeth. Only teeth cleaning can remove them and restore the white color of their teeth.

Developed countries such as Europe and America attach great importance to oral hygiene and advocate for cleaning teeth every six months. With the improvement of China's quality of life and the popularization of oral hygiene knowledge, more and more people are paying attention to teeth, and more and more people are demanding teeth cleaning. Dental cleaning centers generally use ultrasonic cleaning, followed by polishing and grinding to make the tooth surface smooth and less prone to attachment.


Dental calculus
Dental calculus is a hard substance that deposits on the surface of teeth or dentures, either calcified or undergoing calcification. It is formed by the gradual deposition of calcium salts from saliva or gingival crevicular fluid on plaque or soft plaque, and is difficult to remove once formed.

Dental calculus can be divided into supragingival calculus and subgingival calculus based on the location of its deposition. Dental calculus can cause irritation to the gums, leading to gum inflammation, often manifested as bleeding from brushing teeth, bleeding from biting food, and bad breath. In severe cases, it can lead to periodontitis, causing teeth to loosen or even fall out.

Simply brushing teeth cannot remove tartar and plaque, only cleaning teeth can remove attachments on the tooth surface. Choosing a professional dental clinic for regular teeth cleaning is the best way to protect your dental health.


Dental plaque
     Bacteria in the oral cavity combine with the tooth surface to form plaque, which mineralizes and forms tartar attached to the tooth surface. The plaque and tartar continuously stimulate the gums, leading to gum inflammation and even other inflammations. The combination of plaque bacteria, food, and a certain period of time can cause dental caries and pain.
