Generally, dental calculus is caused by calcification of dental plaque. At the beginning, it is soft and soft. It can be removed by mechanical friction. However, the dental calculus adheres to the tooth surface over time and becomes very hard. Brute force is not enough, even the toothbrush There is no way, otherwise the gums bleed more and want to make the calculus fall off. Some patients use vinegar to rinse their mouths, which will erode the teeth and irritate the oral mucosa.
Is there any way to make the calculus fall off?
- It is recommended to clean the teeth by ultrasonic, crush the calculus into pieces and discharge it, which will form scratches on the tooth surface. There is abrasion, but it is very rare. It is not excessive to wash it once a year. It will be polished later. To restore smoothness, because dental calculus is destroyed, dental plaque is more likely to accumulate after gingival recession, and it is necessary to review it regularly for half a year after washing.
- In addition to scaling teeth, there is also subgingival scraping. After local anesthesia, the depth of the periodontal pocket is detected, and the ultrasonic curette removes calculus around the root of the tooth. There are several points before and after each tooth, and it takes 2 to 4 times to eradicate , And perform root surface leveling, deep periodontal pockets need flap surgery, cut off the diseased tissue, and remove the residue.
Why does dental calculus cause periodontal disease?
- There is a chance after dental plaque accumulates, which means that there are a lot of food residues and bacteria continue to grow, which will stimulate the gum tissue at the beginning and cause gingivitis. After calcification into tartar, the bacteria multiply and secrete toxins, and the gingival papilla is swollen and oppressed. Later, the gums receded.
- With the absorption of alveolar bone, more and more periodontal pockets, dental calculus invade the inside of the gums, and then the infection spreads, periodontitis evolves from mild to severe, the surface of the calculus is rough, and more dental plaque adheres. In fact, dental calculus is wrapping the teeth instead of alveolar bone, and the teeth fall off automatically.
In addition to scaling the teeth, there is also subgingival scraping, scraping off the root calculus, remember to brush your teeth vertically, after a meal, kin Gillan mouthwash is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, and at the same time, floss away the tartar to avoid the growth of calculus quick.
When completion of the dentist scaling treatment, if it relates the dentures customized manufacuring, the dental instrument of mounting articulator should be calibrated, and the finishing and polishing of the final proceedure of dentures from dental grinder should also be treated attentionally from technician.
