During the Chinese New Year, can teeth cleaning improve oral hygiene? Your dentist has you covered.
Introduction: The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, and during this time, people's eating habits often change greatly, ingesting a lot of high-sugar, high-salt, high-fat food, plus gathering and socializing, irregular work and rest, resulting in frequent oral problems. As a result, more and more people are paying attention to oral hygiene, hoping to improve oral health through teeth cleaning and other methods. So, during the Spring Festival, can teeth cleaning improve oral cleanliness? Let's hear from the dentist.
1. Dentist's interpretation: the principle and function of teeth cleaning.
1.The principle of scaling.
Scaling, also known as supragingival cleaning, is the purpose of cleaning teeth by removing calculus, plaque and tartar from the gum edge, tooth surface and between the teeth with special instruments. During scaling, your dentist will use sandblasting, a high-pressure water jet that effectively removes stains from the enamel surface and restores your teeth' natural shine.
2.The role of scaling.
1) Prevention of periodontal disease: Dental calculus, plaque, etc. are important periodontal diseases, and regular tooth cleaning can effectively prevent the occurrence and development of periodontal disease.
2) Teeth whitening: Scaling can remove stains from the surface of your teeth and make your teeth look whiter and brighter.
3) Eliminate bad breath: Dental calculus, plaque, etc. are easy to breed bacteria, resulting in bad breath. Scaling can remove these bacteria, which can improve bad breath.
2. During the Spring Festival, why should we pay attention to oral hygiene?
1.Dietary characteristics during the Spring Festival.
During the Spring Festival, people's dietary structure has changed significantly, and the intake of high-sugar, high-salt, and high-fat foods has increased, which can easily lead to the growth of bacteria in the mouth and cause oral problems.
2.Irregular work and rest.
There are many gatherings during the Spring Festival, and bad habits such as staying up late, smoking, and drinking alcohol affect oral health.
3.Deterioration of oral hygiene.
Failure to pay attention to oral hygiene, improper brushing, and non-flossing for a long time will lead to food residues in the mouth, which will aggravate the formation of plaque and tartar.
3. Dentist advice: how to improve oral hygiene?
1.Stick to brushing your teeth properly.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush for at least 2 minutes at a time, covering the tooth surface, between the teeth, gum edges, etc.
2.Use dental floss and mouthwash.
Flossing between your teeth daily can help prevent periodontal disease and tartar formation. Proper use of mouthwash can kill bacteria in the mouth and reduce bad breath.
3.Regular teeth cleaning.
It is recommended to perform supragingival cleaning every six months to one year to remove tartar and plaque in time to maintain oral health.
4.Oral examination.
Conduct regular oral examinations to detect problems in a timely manner to avoid worsening of oral diseases.
Fourth, summary. During the Spring Festival, changes in diet and lifestyle can easily lead to oral problems. Through methods such as scaling, oral cleanliness can be effectively improved and oral health can be maintained. At the same time, proper brushing, flossing, regular cleaning, and dental check-ups are all important measures to prevent oral diseases. Here, the dentist reminds everyone to pay attention to oral health and start from every detail to spend a healthy and happy Spring Festival.
