2, the removal method of dental calculus
(1) Brush your teeth in the morning and evening
In the early stage of dental calculus formation, if you brush your teeth every morning and evening and rinse your mouth after meals, it will be easy to remove. Don't wait until the calculus calcifies and adheres tightly after defecation, then it will not be easy to remove.
(2) Adjust diet
Chewing more crude fiber food containing vitamins helps to keep the tooth surface clean. Cake, candy and sticky food are easy to deposit on the surface of teeth. If they are not clean, they will form dental calculus. Therefore, it is particularly important to brush your teeth in time after eating this kind of food.
(3) tooth washing
The most effective way to clean dental calculus is also called tooth washing. Once you have calculus, you must wash your teeth. Don't try to use any acidic substances to remove dental calculus. Acid is the natural enemy of teeth. Although dental calculus is mostly acid-soluble calcium, the surface of teeth can not be corroded by acid, which will lead to the proliferation of dental plaque and the harm of dental caries.
3. Common methods to remove tartar
(1) Remove tartar with toothpaste.
The easiest way to remove tartar is to use toothpaste, which can whiten teeth, but it should be noted that you must brush your teeth after using toothpaste for six hours.
(2) removing tartar with hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide has disinfection effect and can also help remove oxides. Using a towel to wipe your teeth with proper amount of medical hydrogen peroxide can effectively remove tartar, but remember to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth after wiping, and rinse the hydrogen peroxide in your mouth thoroughly.
(3) Baking soda can remove tartar.
When brushing your teeth, add a little baking soda to the tartar. After using it for three times, the tartar on the teeth will slowly fall off and the teeth will turn white obviously. Moreover, using baking soda can also reduce the damage to teeth. However, it should be noted that it is best to use toothpaste with whitening effect when brushing teeth. This toothpaste contains mild silica, which can effectively remove stains from teeth.
(4) floss to remove dental calculus.
Using a toothbrush every day can't completely clean your teeth. Floss can be used in places where it is difficult to brush between teeth. Moreover, dental floss should be used at night to ensure that all food residues are removed that day. Choosing dental floss with whitening function can not only remove food particles but also remove dental plaque that teeth can't brush off.
(5) Wash with vinegar to remove tartar.
Put a mouthful of vinegar in your mouth 1 to 3 minutes, and then spit it out to brush your teeth, which can quickly remove tartar! However, the teeth will feel very sour and numb. This method cannot be used continuously. Just do it once every two months or so, otherwise it will be bad for your teeth. This method is suitable for emergencies and can also remove bad breath.
(6) Clever use of strawberries to remove tartar.
Grind a strawberry into a paste and mix it with half a spoonful of baking powder. Apply the mixture evenly to the tooth surface. After five minutes, brush your teeth to remove the mixture and then rinse your mouth. This is because malic acid contained in strawberries can be used as a shrinkage agent. Remove stains from the tooth surface. Mixed with baking powder, it becomes a natural tooth cleaner, which can remove the stains left on the tooth surface by coffee, red wine and cola. However, this method should not be used for a long time, so as not to damage the enamel of teeth by malic acid in strawberries. It is more appropriate to use it once a week.
4, the harm of tartar
1. Dental tartar is calcified or calcified plaque and soft scale deposited on the surface of teeth: it is gradually deposited by calcium salt in saliva or gingival crevicular fluid, which is difficult to remove. Dental calculus is closely related to periodontal disease, and the amount of dental calculus is positively related to periodontitis, but plaque is more closely related to dental calculus.
2. If there were no bacteria, it would not cause gingivitis. If you feed food with bacteria, it will cause periodontitis in experimental animals. Epidemiological investigation found that the distribution, prevalence and severity of periodontal disease were positively correlated with oral hygiene and plaque accumulation. The prevalence of periodontal disease in patients with poor oral hygiene and high plaque accumulation is significantly higher than that in patients with good oral hygiene. It can be seen that dental plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease, and there is no periodontal disease without dental plaque.
3. The pathogenic effect of tartar is mainly due to a large number of plaque and bacterial toxins attached to the surface of tartar, which leads to gingival inflammation. In addition, tartar itself is hard and rough, which has mechanical stimulation to gums. At the same time, tartar hinders the implementation of oral hygiene measures, which is an important factor that causes gingival bleeding, periodontal pocket deepening, alveolar bone absorption and periodontal disease development. Therefore, the treatment of periodontal disease should first remove dental calculus.
