Ultrasonic tooth cleaning is a combination of ultrasonic vibration efficiency and water mist washing, which greatly improves the removal efficiency of dental calculus. The working end of the ultrasonic tooth washing machine head is very smooth, so there is no cutting and grinding effect in the process of tooth washing, and naturally there is no problem of tooth wear. Its principle is to use ultrasonic vibration with frequency above 20Hz to clean and scrape off dental plaque and dental plaque. Compared with traditional manual tooth cleaning, this dental medical instrument has the advantages of high efficiency, high speed, less trauma, less bleeding, time-saving and labor-saving. However, in clinical work, the operator is required to have rich operating experience and strictly follow the surgical specifications.
What people commonly call "tooth cleaning" is medically called "tooth cleaning". The so-called "cleaning" means removing dental plaque such as bacteria, tartar and pigment from the tooth surface; And "treatment" means that it is one of the basic methods to treat periodontal disease. Inflammation of gingivitis and periodontitis can be relieved by tooth washing, but periodontal disease cannot be cured by simple tooth washing. To eradicate periodontal disease, further oral diagnosis and professional treatment should be carried out after tooth washing. So the main purpose of tooth washing is to prevent and treat oral diseases, not just to look good. Ultrasonic tooth cleaning is to remove dental calculus, smoke stains and tea stains on teeth through high-frequency oscillation of ultrasonic waves, which can prevent gingival bleeding or tooth loosening, help to treat oral diseases such as periodontitis, and has the advantages of little damage to tooth surface, short tooth cleaning time, convenient treatment, obvious effect and no harm to oral health.
Our gums are not closely attached to the root surface, but there is a shallow groove of 0.5~2 mm, which is called gingival sulcus. Normal gums are close to the root surface and are not open. The gingival sulcus is easy to accumulate food residues and attach plaque, which becomes a good area for bacteria to grow and reproduce. Because the gingival sulcus is closed and difficult to clean, it often leads to gingival inflammation and periodontal disease. In addition, it is difficult to thoroughly clean the area below the abutment. Simply brushing your teeth can't completely remove foreign bodies, which can easily lead to gum disease. Some people think that it is wrong to brush your teeth carefully every day. Because new dental plaque will form within half an hour after the teeth are thoroughly cleaned, it can reach the maximum amount within 30 days, and it will become dental calculus over time (just like soft dirt accumulated in a kettle). Dental plaque is formed by bacterial accumulation, which can cause gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth bleeding, bad breath, and finally lead to tooth loosening or even falling off. Therefore, if adults haven't cleaned their teeth, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible for a tooth cleaning treatment, preferably once every six months to one year.
After tooth washing, if periodontal disease is found, the dentist will provide professional oral treatment for the patients in time to maintain oral health. Tooth washing is a highly professional technical work. In stomatological hospital, it takes about 3 hours for medical staff to wash their teeth with manual instruments (which are basically not used now), and it takes about 1 hour to wash their teeth with ultrasonic dental scaler. According to patients, it takes only 10 minutes to clean teeth in some dental clinics or beauty salons, which is definitely not the case in regular dental medical institutions. Washing teeth in irregular places can be very harmful.
1. Only visible tartar is removed, leaving deep tartar with the strongest pathogenic effect, which can not achieve the purpose of preventing and treating periodontal disease.
2. The damage to gums, especially the root exposure after tartar removal, can not be further treated professionally in time, which not only leads to unbearable pain for patients, but also aggravates the condition of periodontal disease.
3. It is easy to cause cross-infection and bring people undue regret. Therefore, we should carefully choose the place to wash our teeth, and go to a regular hospital to find a strictly trained medical staff to wash our teeth.
Dental calculus causes gingival atrophy.
So why do teeth feel strange or allergic after tooth cleaning? Will the teeth loosen? After tooth washing, the gap between teeth is wider, because calculus is equivalent to a big cotton-padded jacket. Once the calculus is removed and the teeth are exposed to the "long-lost" environment, it will produce all kinds of strange feelings. If it is a healthy tooth, after a period of time, this strange feeling will disappear. If the gap is large, it means that the teeth have periodontal disease and the gums are atrophied, giving people the illusion that the gap is widened after calculus removal. This is not caused by treatment, but by periodontal disease itself. If the calculus is not removed in time, the gums will further shrink, leading to periodontal disease and eventually tooth loss.
Is it harmful to wash teeth with ultrasonic technology? Objectively speaking, there are still some-tooth washing will cause tiny scratches on teeth that can be seen under electron microscope, but this is very slight and can be ignored for the harm caused by dental calculus to human body, and professional technology and appropriate vibration frequency will minimize this harm.
The principle of ultrasonic dental cleaning is to loosen dental calculus through the high-frequency vibration of ultrasonic dental cleaning machine. In the process of ultrasonic tooth cleaning, sandblasting technology is sometimes used, that is, the soluble sodium salt sprayed by the tooth cleaner under high pressure can effectively remove smoke stains, tea stains and pigments on the tooth surface. When using this ultrasonic tooth cleaning technology, it also has a polishing effect on teeth, making the surface of teeth bright and clean. Regular ultrasonic tooth cleaning can effectively prevent various oral diseases.

Generally speaking, ultrasonic tooth cleaning is suitable for all kinds of people. Those who suffer from gingivitis and periodontitis are beneficial to the recovery of these diseases, because they remove bacteria from their mouths when they wash their teeth with ultrasonic waves. However, ultrasonic tooth cleaning is not suitable for patients with cardiac pacemakers and blood diseases, and some patients with organic diseases are not suitable for ultrasonic tooth cleaning.
1. People suffering from acute infectious diseases, such as acute hepatitis and tuberculosis, should wait until their condition is stable before going to the hospital to wash their teeth. When washing teeth, the doctor should be clearly informed of the condition, and the doctor should do a good job in protecting the relevant aspects and strictly disinfect or discard the instruments used. On the one hand, it is because of my illness, on the other hand, it is to avoid infecting others.
2. Patients with gingival malignant tumor should not receive routine tooth cleaning to avoid local and distant spread of the tumor.
3. Patients with oral local soft and hard tissue inflammation in the acute stage should wait until after the acute stage to wash their teeth, so as to avoid the aggravation of local inflammation or the spread of blood.
4. Patients with active angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, hypertension and heart failure that have not been effectively controlled within half a year should not receive routine tooth washing treatment. Due to the stimulation of ultrasound and discomfort during tooth cleaning, the condition may be aggravated. If the heart is equipped with artificial pacemaker, it is not suitable for ultrasonic cleaning.
5. People with hemorrhagic diseases, such as thrombocytopenia patients and leukemia patients, have poor coagulation mechanism and are prone to bleeding after tooth washing. Uncontrolled patients with type 2 diabetes are prone to oral local infection after tooth washing. For this kind of patients, procoagulant drugs should be used in advance to control the coagulation speed to avoid bleeding and infection during tooth washing.
Generally speaking, ultrasonic tooth cleaning does not affect eating. However, due to the thin cementum at the neck of the teeth, some people will have sensitive symptoms after tooth cleaning, especially the heavier the calculus, the more obvious the periodontitis and the more obvious the allergic symptoms. This kind of allergic pain stimulation lasts for a short time. The pain disappeared after the stimulation was eliminated. Generally, it does not need special treatment, and it can gradually disappear within two weeks to one month after ultrasonic tooth cleaning, which seriously affects the desensitization treatment of the eater.
Many people worry that ultrasonic scaling will wear away the enamel on the tooth surface. In fact, the principle of ultrasonic tooth cleaning is ultrasonic vibration, not grinding, which does no harm to teeth. Its needle has no cutting function, and it breaks stones by high-frequency vibration of ultrasonic waves. Moreover, after cleaning the teeth, a protective film can be added on the outside of the teeth by grinding and sandblasting to slow down the rate of re-calculus.
Tooth washing is a highly professional technical work. In stomatological hospital, it takes about three hours for medical staff to wash their teeth with manual instruments, and it takes about one hour to wash their teeth with ultrasonic dental scalers. Washing teeth in irregular places is very harmful to teeth, such as cross-infection of blood diseases (hepatitis B or AIDS) when washing teeth, which brings undue regret. Therefore, we should carefully choose the place to wash our teeth.

The above are some questions about ultrasonic cleaning, hoping to relieve your doubts and puzzles in this regard. In developed countries, tooth washing has become a very popular routine oral health care, and people regularly go to the dentist to wash their teeth once or twice a year. If you have never washed your teeth, I suggest you do a cleaning. Remember, tooth cleaning is just like cleaning a room, only operated by professionals and can be done once a year to half a year.
