How to treat dental fluorosis?

Everyone wants white and bright teeth, especially those who love beauty. The whiteness of teeth has a great impact on personal image. If you have yellow or black teeth, it will not only affect your appearance, but also affect your oral health if it is not treated in time for a long time. Fluorosis is a common type of pigmented teeth. If you want to remove some serious fluorosis, teeth whitening technology is usually required.

How to remove dental fluorosis?

1. Whitening teeth stickers

The latest and most popular teeth whitening method is convenient, fast, simple and cheap. It has been popularized in foreign countries for a long time. The clinical effect is still quite obvious and it has a tendency to gradually replace bleaching. However, whitening teeth strips are not suitable for teeth with discolored dentin due to tetracycline, fluorosis, etc.

2. Cold light whitening technology

The bleaching agent covering the tooth surface is irradiated with a special cold light source, allowing it to penetrate into the hard tissue of the tooth in a short period of time to achieve the purpose of changing the color of the teeth. Its advantage is that it does not damage the hard tissue of the tooth and the operation treatment time is about 30 to 45 minutes. However, the disadvantage is that due to the bleaching effect of the drug, the bleaching effect varies from person to person.

3. Teeth cleaning

Many people think that teeth cleaning is a cosmetic whitening of teeth. In fact, the main function of teeth cleaning is not whitening, but a routine dental care method. It is a routine health care method that mainly prevents caries, gums, and periodontal diseases, targeting tartar and plaque on the surface of teeth. Cleaning your teeth through regular teeth cleaning once every six months is a good habit to maintain dental health. Although the purpose of teeth cleaning is not to whiten teeth, teeth will naturally look whiter after cleaning.

4. Whitening toothpaste

Basically, it does not have much whitening effect. It is mainly through physical friction between the abrasive and the stains on the surface of the teeth. Some whitening toothpastes also contain oxidants, but due to the small content of chemical ingredients, the general short brushing time, and the easy loss of effectiveness after being left for a long time, the whitening effect is very small.

How to take care of your teeth

Oral care experts recommend brushing your teeth for 2-3 minutes each time. The correct way to brush your teeth is to brush up and down, that is, brush the upper teeth from the gums downwards, and brush the lower teeth from the gums upwards. Be careful not to brush sideways. Because brushing horizontally cannot remove the dirt between the teeth, it will cause the dirt to erode the tooth enamel and easily damage the gums.

Use mouthwash. Because it can give your mouth a comprehensive final cleansing. When using mouthwash, you should let it stay in your mouth for at least 30 seconds, then rinse your mouth up and down and left and right.

Try to brush your teeth at night. Brushing your teeth before going to bed at night is more important than brushing your teeth in the morning. This is because the saliva secretion in the mouth decreases after falling asleep, the self-cleaning function of the teeth is poor, and bacteria can easily grow. Therefore, brushing your teeth before going to bed plays a more important role in removing dental plaque and preventing dental diseases.

You should reduce the number of times you eat sugary foods, because there are many bacteria that accumulate on the teeth and gum edges. The bacteria use sugar to produce acid, which erodes the teeth and causes tooth decay.
