How you feel after scaling your teeth is a bit confusing. Many people have been actively cleaning their teeth after hearing about the benefits of scaling, but some people have some problems after cleaning. They found that their teeth became sore when they ate, it was uncomfortable to drink cold water, and the gap between their teeth became larger than before, and their teeth became loose. They felt that the doctor had washed out the teeth that were supposed to be good.
Have you ever encountered this kind of confusion?After all, doctors preach the importance of regular scaling, but there are many people around us who have told us that scaling is not necessarily a good thing. So which side should be trusted?
First of all, let's understand what teeth cleaning is. Scaling, also known as scaling, is one of the most commonly used methods for peridental diseases. Plaque and tartar are major irritants of periodontal disease, and scaling is the process of removing plaque and tartar from your teeth by using a scalerAt the same time, the surface of the tooth is polished to prevent the re-deposition of plaque and tartar.
But why does it feel sore and uncomfortable after scaling?
This requires us to understand the dangers of plaque and tartar. Bacteria can attach to the surface of the tooth to form soft scale, and over time, these hard-to-clean parts will gradually calcify and form tartar.
The bacteria on the tartar can irritate the gums, causing the gums to become inflamed and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling and bleeding of the gums. Over time, inflammation can continue to develop, causing periodontal tissue to recede. So many people find that the gap between the teeth becomes larger and the teeth become more sensitive after cleaning. This is because scaling exposes the root of the tooth that was originally covered with tartar, and the surface of the root has a sensitive nerve distribution, so the tooth becomes more uncomfortable after scaling.
SinceScaling can lead to exposure and discomfort, so shouldn't we clean our teeth?
Of course not. Because if the tartar is not removed, it will constantly irritate the periodontal tissues, causing the periodontal tissues to recede, which will eventually lead to loosening or even loss of teeth. Temporary tooth soreness and discomfort after scaling can be relieved by using a tooth desensitizer or toothpaste containing desensitizing ingredients.
Therefore, we should still clean our teeth regularly to protect periodontal health and delay the rate of periodontal tissue recession. Only with healthy teeth can we enjoy good food and maintain good health.
