1. Q: Why scaling?
A: calculus deposited on the tooth, smoke spots, plaque and color stains, very beautiful, more likely to cause periodontal disease and bad breath, but can not afford to brush daily brushing, which requires special equipment dentist washed it Clean, called scaling.
2. Q: What is tartar?
A: plaque and saliva calcium and phosphorus ions into calcified plaque. Just after the end of the scale as a kettle to boil water. No matter how well you brush, a long time always calculus formation. However, depending on individual differences, some people, some people will be less. Tooth brushing neatly arranged relatively easily less. Dentition relative will be more.
3. Q: What device scaling?
A: There are ultrasonic scalers, sandblasting scaler and hand scalers three. If only calculus, then you can use an ultrasonic scaler. If calculus less color stains more, the selection of blasting. If the calculus color stains are more, it is recommended in combination with ultrasound and sandblasting. For more subgingival calculus, periodontal poor, advocated in the week after ultrasonic scaling done by hand curettage. This effect will be better.
4. Q: Why not scaling teeth hurt a lot of people say bad scaling it??
A: The scaling of the teeth is fairly minor damage. With respect to the protection of the health of the teeth, and that little damage is negligible, as we will not need to worry about the dishes, like a thin wash bowl. However, the scaling method is very important. Choice of doctors and teeth cleaning assistant is very important. For ultrasonic scaler, the key is the angle ultrasonic transducer head and the tooth surface of control, and can not be in the same spot for too long shock, in addition to controlling the power good scaler. The operator should be gentle gesture. If violent action does not damage the tooth is fake.
5. Q: washed once after also need to wash it?
A: No, once and for all the things in this world. Because the teeth every day in use, there will be another dirty.
6. Q: How often appropriate scaling once?
A: six months to a year or so. Depending on your specific situation and dentist oral advice.
7. Q: How long it takes to wash your teeth?
A: 40 minutes to an hour or so. Depending on your oral situation. Too short not right
8. Q: Why do some people after scaling teeth will loose?
A: If your teeth periodontal good, tartar less correct scaling method will never wash the teeth loose. For those periodontal bad, before a large calculus, only possible kind of "loose" dynamic phenomenon - in fact is a normal phenomenon - we put teeth likened to tree. Trees next to the nutrition relied soil supply. If you have a tree next to it are stone, although it is also very solid, but because there is no nutrition. The future will slowly die. So we need to move the stone to give it training on earth. Although Stone had just put away the soil when the tree will be some loose. After the soil solid enough. Stability and nutritional sources relied teeth gums and alveolar bone next to it. If the next dental calculus, although teeth are very stable, but the future will die because there is no nutrition. Though it was a little loose. For long-term good.
9. Q: Why do some people after scaling the teeth become big?
A: For those periodontal good, basically no such problems. When your dental calculus, calculus was originally supposed to put the teeth long gum clogged. These stones of course, wash the exposed teeth. Teeth like a tree. Trees beside the stone removed, will feel empty of teeth bigger!
10. Q: Why do some people after scaling teeth will sour?
A: The tooth is like a tree. After the tree next to the stone removed, the roots will be exposed portion, which is the root, but the root is not protected by enamel, it will be sour. (If you are a regular scaling, this is generally not last. Will disappear within a week. This acid also with a sense of each person's tooth neck related. Sixty percent of human dental enamel bag neck around the cementum. Thirty percent of people are relatively sharp enamel and cementum. There is ten percent of bone separating the enamel. The minimum for the first case the acid level. In the latter case acid degree more. Available transfer pictures on here noted.)
11. Q: After scaling the need to polish it?
A: After scaling polishing like waxing after washing effect. After ultrasonic scaling will leave tiny scratches on the tooth surface visible under the microscope, lead to the tooth surface is slightly rough, it will easily gather color stains and tartar by polishing can make the teeth more shiny. Further polishing tooth sensitivity can be reduced after scaling. (In the demonstration to the patient, we can draw on with a nail at an object. To the guests say that this mark is invisible. However, in some high-powered electron microscope you can see the scratches. Smooth glass is not easy to get Dirty Dirty is also very easy to scrub. frosted glass is not easy to wash. Therefore, the purpose of polishing is to make the tooth surface smoother. smoother the surface of the tooth was not easy to be colored. Why some guests after washing teeth more coloring mainly the result of carefully polished enough. So, do not underestimate scaling Requirements or many. So, when some guests say thirty dollars to be washed into the tooth, we can only hold a laugh.)
12. Q: What should be noted immediately after scaling?
A: Do not eat food too hard in the short term, less contact with cold, hot food, the teeth have a process of adaptation, the symptoms of loose or acid will be eased in. (Depending on the circumstances. For those people without any discomfort scaling process, washing teeth generally no obvious dietary concerns. Note that less drinking acidic beverages such as Coca Cola, colored food or smoking.)
13. Q: scaling will not become infected?
A: thorough disinfection equipment is no problem. Irregular intervals small buildings dental hard to say, if the equipment is not sterilized very dangerous.
14. Q:? Wash it toothache bleeding it?
A: hurt, individual teeth may be blinded, (when you feel when acid, be sure to tell the doctor or assistant explain your teeth sensitive to this we have a solution to the ultrasonic vibration power reduction if there is,... will be replaced by sandblasting or manual scaling. are generally avoided. If you usually brush your teeth bleeding, bleeding when scaling will likely be proportional to how much extent with the amount of plaque, gingival inflammation levels.
15. Q: What are the hazards occasional scaling?
A: calculus, smoke spot, plaque, long-term stay in the gums side will generate a lot of bacteria, stimulate gingival inflammation, bleeding, swelling, cause bad breath, and further undermine the bone around the root so that root exposure gingival recession, tooth loose.
