Many friends want to have a white tooth, but the reality is often cruel. Many people's teeth are generally yellow. They want to have bright teeth as white as stars after a lot of follow-up work. There are few people who want to wash their teeth white just by washing their teeth.
Can tooth cleaning whiten teeth
Cleaning teeth can remove the tooth surface coloring, help the teeth to restore normal luster and color, remove the plaque and calculus that can not be removed by other family oral health care measures, such as brushing teeth, and prevent dental diseases. Because the purpose of tooth cleaning is mainly to clean, it can remove coffee stains, tea stains and smoke stains on the surface of teeth, as well as the accumulated calculus of teeth, so most patients will look whiter after the completion of tooth cleaning.
If your yellowish brown teeth are only caused by the thick calculus covering the tooth surface, the best way to whiten your teeth is to clean your teeth regularly and form a good life habit; but if your teeth are yellow or even black due to incorrect brushing habits and other reasons that cause the pigment precipitation inside your teeth, then, only It is impossible to achieve the ideal whitening effect by washing teeth.
The so-called "tooth washing" is to clean and treat teeth with ultrasonic dental cleaner. It can not whiten teeth, but can remove calculus, smoke spots and color stains on the tooth surface. If you want to whiten your teeth, you can use tooth bleaching, i.e. apply the bleaching agent to the lip of your teeth, and use it for half an hour every day, two weeks as a course of treatment. This method is suitable for whitening yellow teeth, black teeth, tetracycline teeth and fluorosis teeth. By changing the color of enamel and dentin to achieve the purpose of bleaching, the effect is obvious, which can meet the aesthetic requirements of patients. In addition, it can also be used to repair the front teeth with light curing veneer or porcelain crown to achieve the ideal effect of tooth whitening.
Precautions and taboos of tooth washing
1. Gingivitis and periodontitis
Scaling is the main treatment of gingivitis and the first step of periodontitis treatment. Through scaling, the vast majority of chronic gingivitis can be treated, while periodontitis is treated by subgingival scaling and other treatments on the basis of scaling. Scaling is the most basic treatment of periodontal disease.
2. Preventive treatment
A large number of studies have confirmed that for patients who have received periodontal treatment, in addition to constant self plaque control during the maintenance period, regular cleaning to remove the unclean plaque and calculus is an important measure to maintain periodontal health and prevent gingivitis and periodontitis occurrence or recurrence.
3. Preparation for other oral treatment
