Why do you grow dental calculus? Can you pick it with your hands? Three ways are the choice of many people

Now many people are used to wearing masks, which can not only protect against dust and viruses, but also prevent their breath from overflowing. However, the smell on the masks is very unpleasant when they are taken off. To tell the truth, wearing a mask will not cure the symptoms but the root cause. You should find out the cause of your bad breath and actively treat it.

Sister Su is 45 years old. She always wears a mask when she goes out, and only takes it off when she comes home. It turns out that she has a hard reason to say, that is, bad breath. She thought it was not a disease, so she never checked it. Only by strengthening brushing teeth and spraying breath freshener, the odor would be reduced a little.

Because of the bad breath, even her husband was a little disgusted. He thought that she was middle-aged and greasy, which was not the problem when she was young.

Why is Sister Su's bad breath so bad? Does she not brush her teeth?

According to Sister Su, she always washes her mouth after eating, and she never slacks off sooner or later, which is difficult for her to understand. In fact, as long as Sister Su opens her mouth, she can understand the origin of bad breath.

It turned out that Sister Su had a lot of stones on her teeth, which could not be seen from the outside, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she could see that the root of her teeth was surrounded by thick yellow stones, just like a built city wall, firmly stuck to her teeth. Because there were too many stones, her gums could hardly be seen.

Can these stones be the source of odor?

Sister Su buckled the button with her hand and pulled out a little yellow mud. There was still a smell, but some stones were very hard and could not be poked with a toothpick. It seems that I can't handle it. I have to go to the dentist.

Every time after eating, there will be some residues. The components and bacteria in these residues react and slowly deposit on the tooth surface, especially the root of the tooth where the tip of the tongue touches, which is very easy to produce tartar.

At first, it was white ooze. At this time, there was no peculiar smell. It was easy to brush it off. When it was calcified into dark yellow and grayish black, it had a certain hardness and could not be removed easily. The stones are constantly breeding bacteria, which react with bacteria to decompose gas, and the odor is naturally generated.

In addition, these are just the tip of the iceberg. Many of them are hidden on the root of the tooth and can only be seen when they are deep into the gums. Usually, they can't be cleaned by brushing. As time goes on, the odor will become stronger and stronger.

After the examination of the stomatologist, Su Dajie knew how bad her teeth were. Some of her teeth were loose, and her gums retreated seriously. One tooth root had died, so she had to pull out the implant denture. Later, Sister Su washed and scraped her teeth. At the same time, she was given anti-inflammatory drugs and told her to pay attention to oral hygiene.

This is the first time for Sister Su to wash her teeth. She feels that her teeth are not her own. They bleed and ache at the touch. After washing, there is a big gap between the teeth. She suspects that her teeth have been washed.

Analysis: Why is tooth washing so "sour"? Is it cleaning that makes the gap between your teeth bigger?

Tooth washing is not simply flushing water, but shattering the dental stone. Some dental stones are very hard, so the doctor needs to clean them repeatedly. After cleaning, the surface of the teeth is rough, and further polishing is needed.

If the dental calculus grows near the root of the tooth, or in the deep, it should be put under the gingival pocket, because the gingiva is swollen and bleeding, and it will bleed when touched.

When the root of a tooth is shaken, the nerves around it will not be able to adapt. Moreover, when directly touching cold water and air flow, the nerves will be able to feel it acutely without the dental calculus covering them.

When the dental calculus is removed, the last mask will be gone, and the teeth will be exposed completely. At this time, you will see exposed root, reddish gum, and black triangle between teeth.

Some people think that there is no technical content in tooth washing. They also clean their teeth with a toothbrush and floss at home. In fact, there is a big difference. After cleaning, the smoke stains and tea stains on the teeth will disappear, and no dental calculus will remain. At the same time, they can also treat periodontal disease. If abscesses and necrosis are found, cleaning is the first step, and treatment is the second step. Both are very important, and there is no way to treat them when they brush their teeth at home.

After washing her teeth, Sister Su felt more relaxed than ever before. Her breath did not smell any more. The husband said it was time to wash his teeth. Now, Sister Su has no stones on her teeth. Through this event, she summarized three ways to keep her teeth healthy.

First, brush your teeth carefully, and the key is to use the right method

Brush your teeth for more than three minutes to ensure that all surfaces and dents are brushed, especially at the intersection of gums and teeth. Tooth floss, tooth puncher and other tools are needed for the gap between teeth, because it is difficult for the bristles of toothbrush to enter the gap, and saliva cannot bring out the residue inside. For large gaps, it is better to use gap brush.

The second is to wash your teeth every year

If you don't pay attention to keeping your teeth clean this time, dental calculus will grow again soon. There is no way to keep your teeth once and for all, only regular care and scaling. If there are tooth problems after dental washing, consult the doctor in time and treat them properly. If bacteria enter the human body from the mouth, it will bring cardiovascular risk.

The third is to get rid of bad habits

Sister Su used to like to eat shelled peanuts, walnuts, ginger candy, crispy fried rice, melon seeds and other foods, which are hard in common. Every time she eats them, there will be a lot of residues hidden in the cracks. In addition, she likes to drink strong tea, and can drink a pot of tea a day. Now she seldom eats hard things and strong tea. If you also have the habit of hurting your teeth, you should change it as soon as possible.

Remind everyone that there is a special situation, that is, the mouth is easy to dry, and this kind of people are easy to have dental calculus, so they should be treated specially. It is not enough to wash teeth only, so we should treat xerosis. In a word, odontolith is very harmful, and it also brings bad smell. I hope you can pay attention to it.
