Ordinary brushing, there is no way to clean up the formed dental calculus. Therefore, if you find calculus on your teeth, don't try to remove it yourself, but go to the hospital to wash your teeth.
What is dental calculus? Many people will find that after a long time, there will be a lot of black things around the teeth, which is dental calculus. Some people who don't understand will find that when teeth turn black, they think that eating too much sugar leads to tooth decay. Actually, there is a big difference between dental calculus and tooth decay. Dental calculus mainly exists between teeth and gaps between teeth, while tooth decay is mainly the body of teeth.
Dental calculus is actually food residue and liquid. If it is not cleaned in time, it will form a kind of tartar after a long time. It has the same properties as other dirt and scale, and belongs to calcified substances. People who don't brush their teeth for a long time, or who don't rinse their mouths after meals, are more likely to get calculus. This is because the food residues left by these people are more likely to stay between their teeth. Therefore, people who insist on brushing their teeth every day and have good oral hygiene habits are not easy to get dental calculus.
The harm of dental calculus Many people think that dental calculus is actually nothing, but at most it is not good-looking. But this is not the case. Dental calculus is very harmful. If calculus is not cleaned up in time, it will have a bad influence on gingiva and periodontal tissue. Because the essence of dental calculus is the residue of some bacteria and dirt, if it is not cleaned for a long time, it is a kind of damage to healthy gums. It is likely to produce a series of periodontal diseases such as gingival atrophy and periodontitis.
If the calculus is not cleaned for a long time, it may lead to the enlargement of teeth in the later stage. If the teeth get bigger, it is irreversible. Because the original part of the gum has been squeezed by dental calculus for a long time, it has been difficult to restore its previous elasticity. Therefore, when you find that you have dental calculus, you should clean it up in time.
How to clean up dental calculus Some people try to clean up dental calculus through a series of operations such as brushing their teeth, pulling out their teeth and toothpicks after discovering that they have dental calculus. However, these methods are not the correct way to clean dental calculus. The correct way to clean dental calculus is to wash teeth regularly. Because dental calculus has been formed, there is no way to remove it by simple external force. If you want to get rid of dental calculus, you must wash your teeth.
In the process of tooth washing, the doctor will use ultrasound to break the calculus. Simply clean it after breaking it. Although it seems that there is only a small part of dental calculus, it still takes a lot of time to completely remove it. Because dental calculus is actually a kind of calculus, it can't be treated by simple methods. Therefore, people who want to remove dental calculus by themselves are tantamount to whimsy.
Although calculus cannot be removed by itself, it can be prevented in daily life. Maintain good living habits, brush your teeth after getting up in the morning and going to bed at night, and don't eat food after brushing your teeth. Especially some sweets, can't eat. After eating food that is easy to block your teeth, clean up the food residue in your teeth in time. It is best to wash your teeth once a year, so that you can keep your teeth healthy.
Many people are very resistant to tooth washing because they think that their teeth will become bigger after tooth washing. This is actually a very normal phenomenon. After the calculus is cleaned, there will be a gap in the original position of the calculus. But if the situation is not serious, it will usually recover itself after a few days. If it is caused by gingival atrophy, then corresponding treatment should be carried out.
Therefore, when you find that you have dental calculus, you must not delay, and you can't wait until the calculus accumulates more and then solve it at once. The earlier the calculus is cleared, the greater the protection for teeth. Dental calculus stays in the mouth for a long time, which is very harmful to teeth.
To sum up, dental calculus can't be cleaned by yourself, but it can be thoroughly cleaned by a doctor. The correct way to clean dental calculus is to go to the corresponding institution to clean teeth. When you have dental calculus, don't dig it out at home, which may lead to oral infection with bacteria, but it is not worth the candle.
