Some people actually brush their teeth very vigorously.

The kind of toothbrush that has "bloomed" in a week

But teeth cleaning

It's not that great strength works miracles

01

How often should I have my teeth cleaned?

This depends on how well you do your homework. If you clean your teeth carefully, you can clean your teeth about once a year. If you clean your teeth carelessly, it is recommended that you clean your teeth once every six months!

In fact, teeth cleaning is just like cleaning the house. Apart from maybe 1-2 major cleanings a year, there will be some routine cleaning every day or every week.

This teeth cleaning is equivalent to a major cleaning of the teeth, removing all soft plaque and tartar; but what is more important is our daily brushing and cleaning.

02

My teeth are prone to tartar growth, which always causes bleeding gums. What should I do?

Every cause has its effect. Tartar and bleeding gums are the result of periodontitis. The general way to treat it is to clean your teeth.

The occurrence of dental tartar does vary from person to person. Some people are affected by genetic factors and are naturally prone to dental tartar and periodontal inflammation; but the most important thing is to keep yourself clean, including brushing your teeth every day and cleaning them regularly.

The same applies to bleeding gums. You need to understand the correct ways and methods of cleaning your teeth, including using an oral irrigator, dental floss, etc. If you do your daily oral care, periodontal inflammation will naturally improve.

03

Can the tea color on teeth be removed by using an oral irrigator?

This is the ultimate stubborn stain, which is equivalent to being stained! Even if you scrub these spots carefully every day, it may not be completely solved. It is best to leave it to a professional doctor .

If there is tea color on your teeth, it is not just the tea. For example, smoking and coffee may also cause pigmentation. For this problem, the dentist will have a special sandblasting tool to remove the pigment. The water flosser cannot remove the pigment.

04

I have been cleaning my teeth for half a year, but I always feel uncomfortable when my lower front teeth touch the tip of my tongue. Why?

Don’t panic~ Don’t panic~ It’s normal to feel this kind of discomfort after teeth cleaning! Because the area where you originally had tartar is a little shy after “revealing”, it will be more sensitive to cold and hot stimuli.

If you are really worried, you can take an X-ray to see if there is any inflammation, pulp necrosis, etc. around the tooth roots... If so, further treatment may be needed; if everything is fine, just use desensitizing toothpaste, and you don't need to worry too much as it does not affect your work and life.

Treating teeth in a timely manner is more effective

Otherwise, it will be like "If you don't fix a small hole, you will suffer from a big hole"

And I can't grit my teeth and bear it.

05

Is it necessary to extract a rotten tooth? Is it necessary to replace it after extraction?

It has been extracted, but there is no need to replace it ! Generally speaking, if the position of the terminal teeth is not correct or there are caries, we recommend that patients extract them, which will not have any impact on the daily use of the teeth.

On the one hand, due to the location of the terminal teeth, it is very difficult to treat; on the other hand, even if the treatment is successful, it may not play a big role, so it is usually extracted, and there is no need to repair it or install dentures.

06

What are the consequences of not treating dead teeth?

It looks ugly on the outside and hurts on the inside! Pulp necrosis must be treated , otherwise it may cause inflammation of the tooth root and discoloration of the tooth, which is very unsightly.

If the pulp is necrotic, it is recommended to go to the endodontic department for root canal treatment in time and make a crown to protect the tooth, so that our teeth can continue to play their functions.

07

The upper teeth have a deep overbite. Do the lower teeth need orthodontics? What if they don’t?

You have to do it! The upper and lower teeth are aligned, and neither of them can escape. Generally speaking, if you want to do orthodontics for deep overbite, you must do it for both the upper and lower teeth, because if you want to do orthodontics, the arrangement of all teeth will change.

If the overbite is serious enough to affect your daily life, such as popping in the joints, or your lower teeth always biting your upper teeth or the palate when you eat, these situations must be dealt with promptly.

08

Do I need to fill all my bad teeth before getting pregnant?

Yes!! (Very loud) It is recommended to do a thorough oral examination before pregnancy or before planning pregnancy. Pull out the teeth that need to be pulled out, and fill the teeth that need to be filled. This is really important!

If you experience toothache or tooth inflammation during pregnancy, it will be difficult to deal with. Because pregnant women cannot be given antibiotics, tooth fillings, or anesthesia, these originally minor illnesses will become very troublesome.

Just like fish-flavored eggplant without the fish

There's no money in the wallet.

Some teeth-related issues

It's not necessarily the teeth.

09

My child is twenty years old and still grinds his teeth when he sleeps at night. Is it a dental problem?

It’s really hard to say! From a medical point of view, the cause of bruxism is still unclear. It may be due to mental stress, or there may be jaw interference between the teeth, uneven bite, etc.

Night bruxism may disappear gradually with age, or it may always be there, or even recur. In fact, you can make a night bruxism jaw pad and wear it when you sleep at night to avoid excessive wear of teeth and protect them.

10

I brush my teeth carefully every day and rinse my mouth after eating, so why do I still have many cavities?

It may be the DNA that is to blame . Because the flora in everyone's mouth is different, some people are particularly prone to tooth decay, while some people will not get tooth decay no matter how much sweets they eat.

Therefore, for those who are prone to tooth decay, doctors still recommend that you go for a dental cleaning every six months. While cleaning your teeth, ask your doctor to check if there is anything that needs to be filled. Early detection and early treatment saves both time and money.

This is the end of the answer to this dental question~

I wish everyone can have good teeth and good luck🎉🎉
