4hw.com.cn: I believe that many friends have the experience of getting dental calculus. This is the impurity in our daily diet. After a long time of precipitation on the surface of the teeth, many people will go to the hospital to wash their teeth to remove the calculus. Can the electric toothbrush remove the calculus? How to prevent calculus? Let's have a look.
Can electric toothbrush brush remove calculus
The electric toothbrush has a certain effect on removing calculus, but it can not completely remove calculus. Dental calculus belongs to calcified substance, which is formed by calcification of food residue, epithelial cell abscission and mineral substance in saliva through a series of reactions. At the initial stage of the formation of dental calculus, it is relatively fragile, and there is a certain probability that it can be removed by oral cleaning method. If it is accumulated over time and calcified completely, the dental calculus will be relatively solid, and it is basically impossible to be removed by electric brushing.
The reason why the electric toothbrush can remove the calculus
1. In the early stage of the formation of calculus, the high frequency of the electric toothbrush will shake it down.
2. Too many teeth stones lead to weak adhesion, which is shaken down by the electric toothbrush.
The most important thing is to use the electric toothbrush for deep cleaning, which can effectively remove the plaque and reduce the formation of dental calculus from the root.
Methods of removing calculus
1. Teeth washing
Dental calculus must be cleaned by washing teeth. Using the general electric toothbrush to brush teeth can only remove the calculus slightly, which can not fundamentally solve the problem of calculus. Moreover, after washing teeth, we should pay attention to the correct way of brushing teeth.
2. Vinegar washing teeth
The mouth contains vinegar, gargle in the mouth drum for 2-3 minutes, then spit out, brush with toothbrush, and finally gargle with warm water. You can also put two drops of vinegar on the toothpaste when you brush your teeth. You can remove the tartar after a period of time.
3. Alum brushing
Grind 50g of alum into powder. Brush your teeth with a little bit of toothbrush every time, twice a day, to remove the Yellow tartar.
How to prevent calculus
1. Pay attention to adjust the diet structure. It's better to eat less soft and sticky food, especially children's food with high sugar content as little as possible, and eat more fibrous food appropriately, which can increase the self-cleaning effect of teeth and reduce the formation of dental plaque.
2. Every six months or a year, it is better to go to the stomatology department of the hospital for examination once. If there is calculus formation, it is better to let the doctor remove it if necessary.
