Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening is very necessary, especially at night. Regular cleaning of teeth, also known as dental cleaning, is especially important for the following groups. Let's take a look together with the editor!
Should teeth be cleaned?
Many people do not know that there are two types of "garbage" on teeth. One is called dental plaque and the other is called tartar.
(1) Dental plaque is a bacterial biofilm on the surface of teeth, and it cannot be washed away by water. This substance is not visible in normal times, and it will only start to show color when a special plaque indicator is applied.
If dental plaque is not cleaned and 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, this substance is initially milky white, but if you smoke, drink alcohol, or have habits such as drinking coffee, the tartar will gradually turn black-brown.
If tartar is not removed for a long time, it will damage the periodontium. Initially, it will cause redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. Gradually, the alveolar bone will become inflamed, and in the end, it may even cause "bone loss" problems.
Brushing alone cannot remove dental plaque and tartar, and mouthwash and dental floss cannot achieve it either.
The only way is: dental cleaning. Therefore, not only should you clean your teeth, but you should also have regular dental cleanings.
Four groups of people who should have dental cleanings
(1) People with frequent gum bleeding
People with frequent gum bleeding should have regular dental cleanings.
Most gum bleeding is caused by tartar. If tartar is not removed in time, these individuals are more likely to experience frequent gum bleeding and even develop diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
(2) Women preparing for pregnancy
Women preparing for pregnancy should also have dental cleanings to prevent the occurrence of diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis, as these diseases may lead to premature birth, miscarriage, and other problems.
(3) People who smoke, drink alcohol, drink coffee, or tea regularly
These groups of people should have regular dental cleanings because brushing alone cannot completely remove the stains left by tea, cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, etc., which can easily lead to tartar formation in the long term.
(4) People who do not brush their teeth every day should also have regular dental cleanings.
