Brushing teeth in the morning and evening is very necessary, especially at night. Teeth should also be regularly cleaned, which is called scaling, especially for the following groups of people. Let's take a look together with the editor!
Should teeth be scaled
Many people don't know that there are two types of "garbage" on their teeth. One type is called dental plaque, and the other type is called tartar.
(1) Dental plaque is a bacterial biofilm on the surface of the teeth, and it cannot be washed away by water. This substance is usually invisible, and it will only start to show color when a special plaque disclosing agent is applied.
If dental plaque is not removed for a long time, it can cause tooth decay, periodontitis, bad breath, and other problems. It is the "culprit" of all dental diseases.
(2) Tartar is initially milky white, but if you smoke, drink alcohol, or have habits like drinking coffee, tartar will gradually turn black or brown.
If tartar is not removed for a long time, it will damage the periodontal tissue. Initially, it will cause gingival redness, swelling, and bleeding. Gradually, the alveolar bone will become inflamed. Eventually, it may even cause "bone loss" problems.
Brushing teeth cannot remove dental plaque and tartar, and mouthwash and dental floss cannot do it either.
The only way is to scale the teeth. Therefore, not only should teeth be scaled, but they should also be scaled regularly.
Four groups of people who should scale their teeth
(1) People with frequent gum bleeding
People who frequently experience gum bleeding should scale their teeth regularly.
Most gum bleeding is caused by tartar. If tartar is not removed in time, these people are more likely to experience frequent gum bleeding and even develop gum disease and periodontitis.
(2) Women preparing for pregnancy
Women preparing for pregnancy should also scale their teeth to prevent the occurrence of gum disease and gingivitis, as these conditions may lead to premature birth, miscarriage, and other issues.
(3) People who smoke, drink alcohol, drink coffee, or tea regularly
These groups of people should scale their teeth regularly because it is difficult to completely remove the stains left by tea, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, etc. through brushing alone, which can easily lead to tartar buildup.
(4) People who do not brush their teeth every day also need to scale their teeth regularly.
