Wash tooth won't hurt tooth, why can feel a little sour ache after washing tooth?

Wash the truth This matter, everyone is not unfamiliar.

But in my daily life, you can often hear this saying, "after washing the teeth, I feel the tooth air leakage, and the gap becomes larger".

Feel the gap between the teeth wider, this is really the fault of the tooth cleaning?

In this regard, Wang Xiaofei, deputy director of the periodontal mucosa Department of Yinchuan Stomatological Hospital, said that the widening gap between the teeth is not caused by cleaning, but the teeth have been destroyed by the disease.

01 Brush your teeth every day, why also wash your teeth?

Many people ask, I brush my teeth on time every day, why have to wash my teeth?

Wang Xiaofei explained that the mouth is a "warehouse" of bacteria, which constantly accumulate on the tooth surface to form "dental plaque". It cannot be removed by gargle, but can only be removed with a toothbrush and dental floss.

A few minutes after brushing the teeth, the bacteria start a new round of accumulation.

For a long time, dental plaque will accumulate more and more, just like the kettle long scale, calcification formed dental calculus, any brush can not be brushed off, can only be removed by cleaning the teeth.

Dental calculus and dental plaque will cause irritation to the adjacent gingival and periodontal tissues, leading to the gradual aggravation of chronic inflammation, gingival swelling and pain, loose teeth, tooth loss and other conditions.

It seems that, for the sake of oral health, dental cleaning is still very necessary.

At present, the most commonly used clinical is the ultrasonic tooth cleaning method, through high frequency oscillation on the surface of the tooth stones, tooth stains broken, and then through the cleaning machine produced by the water mist to the gravel, dental plaque washed down, the usual brushing difficult to clean to the dead corner for comprehensive cleaning.

02 Will the gap between the teeth become bigger after cleaning the teeth?

After cleaning teeth, some people always feel that the gap between the teeth has become larger and the teeth are loose. It is suspected that cleaning teeth has damaged the teeth and gums.

In fact, this is because the removal of dental plaque and dental stones attached to the teeth, as if the water and alkali in the kettle has been removed, revealing the original face of the teeth, feeling "the gap between the teeth has become larger".

Patients with severe periodontal disease, usually relatively poor oral hygiene, dental stones will be many.

There is a gap between the tooth and the tooth itself, and the tooth stone has a certain hardness. When it grows around the tooth, it can fill the gap.

The dental stones of adjacent teeth can also be connected together, virtually playing a role in "fixing" the teeth.

" Because the accumulation of dental stones on the teeth is a slow process, people usually do not have a foreign body sensation.

But in the process of tooth cleaning, when the removal of dental stones, the gap between the teeth will be exposed instantly, and the roots covered by the stones will also be exposed at this moment. At this time, people tend to feel uncomfortable and feel loose in the teeth, and the gap between the teeth becomes wider.

" Wang Xiaofei explained.

That is to say, the large gap between the teeth is the tooth itself, can not wash the teeth, if not remove dental stones in time, the situation will only get worse and worse.

03 Tooth pain after tooth cleaning is normal Since washing the teeth will not hurt the teeth, why do you feel a little sore after washing the teeth?

Wang Xiaofei explained that the sour pain after dental cleaning is essentially caused by periodontal disease.

Before cleaning the teeth, the dental stones attached to the surface of the teeth play a role of cooling and heat insulation, so many people have periodontal disease but do not know.

After cleaning teeth, the periodontal tissue that has already been damaged suddenly lost its quilt, and the sensitivity and pain in the face of warm water stimulation in the process of cleaning teeth.

However, this sensitivity is temporary, the use of desensitization toothpaste can relieve the symptoms, such as periodontal disease is under control, the teeth to adapt to the new environment can recover.

In addition, cleaning teeth is to remove calculus, which is actually different from tooth whitening.

If there is some pigment on the teeth, such as people who smoke, drink tea or drink coffee for a long time, they will feel white after cleaning their teeth.

But if the teeth are yellow, or the teeth have dental fluorosis and tetracycline teeth, the teeth will not become white after cleaning.

04 Pay attention to the signals of oral problems "Gingval bleeding and swelling, tooth discoloration, large teeth, loosening, falling teeth, toothache, etc., are all signals of oral diseases that cannot be ignored, and it is recommended to see a doctor in time.

"The gap between the teeth is the" dead corner " of oral hygiene, the most easy to retain plaque and soft scale, because the brush can not be fully extended when brushing, it is recommended to floss after brushing.

Protect the teeth, usually also recommended for adults every half a year or a year for an oral examination.

Usually do not eat too much acidic food, after drinking tea, coffee, red wine, coke, and so on to timely gargle.

In addition to correct brushing, but also to do regular cleaning, the best to half a year to a year.

Dental cleaning is an essential basic therapy for treating gingivitis and periodontitis.
