Many people choose to wash their teeth because they can't stand yellowing teeth. Although washing our teeth can make our teeth clean, white and bright, there are also many hazards. So do you know what damage will be done to our teeth after tooth washing? Let's have a look
Is tooth washing harmful to teeth
1. The gap between teeth becomes larger: after tooth washing, because the gums cannot be replenished immediately, the gap between teeth will become larger after the tartar in the gap between teeth is removed. This is not caused by treatment, but the cause of periodontal disease itself.
2. Obvious irritation: after tooth washing, the gums will be exposed after the tartar is cleaned, so the gums will often be stimulated by cold, hot, sour and hot substances, so as to make the teeth more sensitive.
3. Loose teeth: for some people, the accumulation of long-term tartar will lead to the occurrence of periodontal disease, and the gums begin to shrink. When the tartar is cleaned, it will lead to obvious loosening of teeth. At this time, it is best to go to the hospital for specialized periodontal treatment.
4. Damage to gums: tooth washing can remove the tartar around the teeth. After the tartar is removed, the root will be exposed. If it cannot be treated in time, it will lead to gum injury, which will not only cause unbearable pain, but also lead to periodontal disease.
What are the benefits of tooth washing
1. Prevention of halitosis and bleeding: tooth washing can keep the oral cavity clean, make the tooth surface cleaner and smoother, remove the tartar, plaque and dental calculus attached to the teeth, and treat halitosis and tooth bleeding caused by these factors.
2. Prevent tooth looseness: if you don't wash your teeth frequently, you may suffer from periodontal disease, resulting in alveolar bone absorption, tooth displacement and loosening, and adult tooth loss. If you make early diagnosis, it can be treated and reversed.
3. Maintain oral hygiene: tooth washing helps maintain good oral health, which is similar to dental examination. If the growth of teeth is off track, tooth washing can help return to the right path.
4. Prevention of oral cancer: washing your teeth can keep your teeth clean, and the dentist will help you detect oral cancer, which can prevent oral cancer. At the same time, the earlier you find it, the more effective the treatment will be.
5. Maintain good health: poor oral hygiene may induce heart attack and stroke. Washing your teeth every 6 months can help keep your teeth and gums healthy and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
