With the improvement of people's living standards, people are also very concerned about their own quality of life. Many people often choose to wash their teeth for their oral health, so what are the precautions before and after washing?
Generally speaking, tooth cleaning is divided into ultrasonic cleaning and manual cleaning. Now we often say that cleaning teeth generally refers to ultrasonic cleaning, the patients with more pigments, doctors may also recommend patients to receive sandblasting treatment. (spray more pigment, such as tobacco stains).
Before tooth cleaning
I. selection of medical institutions
We must choose a regular medical institution to wash our teeth. Such institutions have strict instrument disinfection system to prevent the spread of various viruses, including hepatitis B and HIV.
II. Personal information consultation
Whether there is hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, blood disease and other system diseases, whether there is drug allergy, whether there are drugs being taken and so on, these contents are quite important, the bleeding is not only after deep cleaning of teeth with leukemia; the blood sugar of diabetic patients is not well controlled and easy to be infected; the patients who have installed traditional cardiac pacemakers or have done valve surgery exclude the contraindications of ultrasonic cleaning teeth, there are Some need to take anti-inflammatory drugs before surgery and so on, in a word, we must truthfully report.
Some patients with severe periodontitis need imaging examination, such as taking panoramic pictures to understand the periodontal condition, and some patients with serious periodontitis need further surgical treatment. And cooperate with blood test to understand coagulation function. If there is inflammation, deep cleaning will cause serious bleeding. If necessary, check the whole set of infection, especially in the acute stage of hepatitis. Patients with "big three yang" can't have ultrasonic cleaning.
When you wash your teeth
The standard procedure for tooth washing is as follows
I. oral disinfection: use 0.12% chlorhexidine gargle for 1 minute.
2. EPI anesthesia: apply EPI anesthesia drugs to gums to make the whole process more comfortable (after all, there may be some pain during deep tooth cleaning).
3. Ultrasonic cleaning / manual cleaning: the doctor will carefully clean the buccal / lingual side, near, far, middle, supragingival and subgingival parts of each tooth.
IV. sandblasting: This is to further clean the teeth with special salt and high-pressure water. The effect of pigment removal is more obvious. Patients with less pigment deposition on the teeth do not need sandblasting.
V. polishing: polish the tooth surface with a polisher dipped in a polishing paste or toothpaste. This process is relatively comfortable. Some patients feel that the doctor is "brushing" their teeth.
Vi. washing and application: wash alternately with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution + 0.12% chlorhexidine solution.
Don't rinse, drink or eat in half an hour.
As for whether it hurts or not, this individual has a great difference. People with atrophied gums are sensitive to root and face. The natural cleaning process is still a little painful (we also have local anesthesia). Some vulnerable young sisters, doctors can do this by adjusting power practices.
After tooth cleaning
1. After tooth cleaning, the tooth tissue is exposed due to the removal of calculus. In patients with gingival recession, even some of the root surfaces of teeth will be exposed, resulting in different degrees of sensitive symptoms. In general, the periodontal health population, the sensitivity is relatively slight, only a few days, the symptoms will be eliminated.
In diet, it is not suitable to eat supercooled, hot, sour, sweet and other foods within two weeks after tooth washing. When brushing teeth with desensitized toothpaste at ordinary times, the sensitive place can let the toothpaste stay for a while longer. If necessary, the doctor can apply a layer of 'protective agent' to the tooth surface to reduce the occurrence of sensitivity. If you don't clean your teeth regularly for fear of sensitivity, your teeth will fall off when your periodontium is bad enough,
2. Patients with more calculus, especially those who brush their teeth only outside but not inside (lingual side), have gingival recession for a long time, alveolar bone absorption and root surface exposure. After removing the calculus, I feel that the 'gap' has become larger and the teeth have become loose. The truth is that the calculus covers your most real appearance. What it looks like to change back to what it looks like after it is cleaned. If the calculus is not cleaned, the gums will shrink further and the teeth will become looser. It's a bit of a cover up to give up tooth washing.
3. Will tooth cleaning hurt teeth? The answer is No. Enamel is the hardest tissue of human body. Tooth cleaning is a kind of stone cleaned by vibration of ultrasonic cleaning machine. The cleaned stone is in the shape of pieces rather than powder. It can be proved that the stone is not ground down. Careful observation will also show that the working edge of tooth cleaning tip is not sharp but round shield.
4. The patients with gingival swelling have cleaned their teeth deeply, recovered from redness and swelling, and felt the gingival receding on the surface, and even formed a 'black triangle'. That's because the alveolar bone has been horizontally absorbed and damaged, and panorama is the evidence! The inflammation has been quite serious, and the inflammation has recovered, which is what it looks like in a healthy state. If you don't believe in gingivitis, try it again. The gingiva will swell again. See if the gingiva grows high again.
5. The most important thing is: brush your teeth well after you go back, and learn to floss and brush your teeth. How to use it? The doctor will give on-site guidance and the hospital will also have some video materials. It's not enough to rely on the doctor's cleaning treatment alone. We must also maintain ourselves. Who said that after the house has done a big cleaning, we can not take out the garbage or mop the floor? If we can't brush it well, the doctor will definitely be scolded if he sees the doctor for further consultation!
