Today in 2024, more and more oral problems have been solved by accurate and effective solutions. With the continuous progress of science and technology, many cutting-edge oral diagnosis and treatment technologies have also been widely used. As patients pay more attention to oral health, some questions about oral problems emerge, including the question of "whether dental calculus can be removed by itself". In order to better understand this problem and obtain relevant suggestions, we hereby interpret it in detail as follows:
1、 Can dental calculus be deducted by itself?
It is difficult to remove dental calculus by oneself. It is a stone like material formed by food residues after long-term accumulation and hardening, and its hardness is high. In the early stage of the formation of dental calculus, its hardness is relatively small, and patients may be able to deal with parts by some means, such as gently scraping with tools. However, when it is completely hardened, its hardness is significantly enhanced, which cannot be removed by ordinary methods. It is generally recommended to use professional means such as ultrasonic tooth cleaning for the treatment of dental calculus, which is not only simple and fast, but also will not cause damage to the tooth surface. The existence of dental calculus may cause problems such as gingival bleeding and bad breath, which may have adverse effects on oral health. It is suggested that everyone should go to the hospital for dental washing regularly to maintain a good oral hygiene environment.
2、 What are the effective methods for removing dental calculus?
At present, the common methods to remove dental calculus include ultrasonic tooth washing, subgingival scaling and supragingival scaling. The details are as follows:
1. Ultrasonic tooth washing: The dental calculus attached to the tooth surface can be removed through the vibration of ultrasonic wave, so that the teeth can return to the original appearance of bright white.
2. Subgingival scaling: use a specific scaler to go deep into the periodontal pocket to scrape the internal dental calculus, which is helpful to control the development of gingivitis.
3. Supragingival scaling: It is mainly aimed at removing supragingival calculus and dental plaque. The purpose of removing dental calculus is to use a sickle shaped scaling device to scrape out dental calculus and destroy the adsorption force between it and the teeth.
3、 How is tooth calculus caused?
Dental calculus, also known as dental calculus, is related to many factors. Generally speaking, the long-term retention of food residues and liquids on the tooth surface will lead to bacterial aggregation and plaque formation, and eventually the formation of calculus with time and gradual deposition and calcification. The main causes include personal factors, dietary hygiene habits and bad daily living habits. The details are as follows:
1. Personal factors: such as tooth dysplasia, irregular arrangement or rough tooth surface, which are easy to form mineralized deposits on the tooth surface.
2. Eating habits: preference for high sugar, high viscosity foods and failure to clean teeth in time after meals will lead to food residues left on teeth. It will form dental calculus in the long run.
3. Bad daily habits: frequent smoking, drinking strong tea or coffee and other pigmented drinks are likely to cause pigmentation on the teeth. Over time, these pigments will gradually deposit and form dental calculus.
Through the above interpretation, we hope to provide useful reference information for everyone's oral health and help maintain a good oral health environment. Remember that regular inspection and good living habits are the key to preventing and dealing with oral problems!
