In fact, scaling has long been accepted by the public in foreign countries, its main purpose is to prevent oral diseases, should be advocated, but many people do not understand the scaling, coupled with certain factors, there have been some misunderstanding .
Misunderstanding one: brush your teeth every day, scaling teeth can be described as unnecessary.
In developed countries, scaling has become a very popular and routine oral health care, and people regularly find their dentist to clean their teeth one or two times a year. Therefore, at present, our most important thing is to correctly understand the concept of scaling and changing teeth. It is completely different from ordinary cleaning of superficial dirt on tooth surface. It can also completely remove plaque, stones and pigments deposited on tooth surface, which can not be removed by ordinary brushing, so that the periodontal tissue can be kept healthy and prevent periodontal disease. Dental cleaning is easy to find small and inconspicuous dental diseases, such as more subtle dental caries to achieve early detection and early treatment purposes.
Under normal circumstances, as a regular care can be washed six months or once a year, for patients with periodontitis, you need to be under the guidance of a doctor for regular scaling.
Misunderstanding 2: scaling will damage the teeth, grinding off the surface of the enamel teeth.
Many people have a concern, scaling the tooth surface will wear off the enamel. In actual fact, Dr. Wang explained that now the regular hospitals are imported ultrasonic cleaning machine, its principle is ultrasonic vibration, not grinding away, no harm to the teeth, the needle does not have any cutting function, is based on the high ultrasonic Frequency vibration to crush calculus, and now after the teeth can also be cleaned by polishing, sandblasting in the teeth with a protective film on the outside, slowing again the speed of stone plotting.
Misunderstanding 3: After scaling, but the teeth become larger.
Many people who wash their teeth will feel unwell, although the teeth whiten and become clean, but the teeth have become larger. Is it caused by scaling? The doctor told reporters that the larger the dentist is only a visual impression, it shows that you have periodontal disease, there are stones, which led to the gingival recession, removal of dental calculus by the original plot The space occupied by the stone frees up and creates the illusion of broadening the gap between the teeth. Therefore, the scaling itself will not result in scaling, and such people should usually focus on cleaning after scaling.
Misunderstanding four: beauty salons and some small clinics have teeth, where faster than the regular hospital, more convenient.
Now, as long as there is a dental clinic, the hospital usually has the service of scaling. Even the small beauty salons have appeared in this service and they are still very cheap. However, Dr. Wang said that scaling needs to be advocated, but more should be done safely and formally. In some small clinics or beauty salons, its irregular fast-washing method will have adverse consequences for the washable person, causing damage to the enamel itself of the washable person, causing surface scratches not visible to the naked eye, Damage to the gums, aggravate the condition of periodontal disease, the most serious but also easily lead to cross-infection, not through the safe disinfection of the instrument is very easy to transmit hepatitis and AIDS and other viruses, causing unnecessary trouble to people.
