What are the dangers of gum scaling

People's oral cavity may often have various problems due to improper eating habits and bad living habits. For example, people who often do not brush their teeth properly are prone to tartar and bacterial growth. These bacteria continue to multiply in the human mouth and affect the teeth and gums. For those whose condition is not serious, it may be sufficient to repair simple cavities or clean the teeth. For patients with severe conditions, the gums will be damaged, and the entire row of gums may be damaged, which may also affect the dental nerves, etc. This requires gum scaling and other techniques to treat.

Subgingival scaling is to remove tartar and plaque hidden deep under the gums, so as to restore periodontal health to a certain extent. Normal teeth or teeth without periodontitis will not undergo subgingival scaling. For periodontitis, subgingival scaling is only done if necessary. It is hard to say what the harm is, but subgingival scaling is a surgery, and any surgical treatment has risks:

1. Bleeding is the most common complication. Because periodontitis itself causes congestion and inflammation in the local tissues, surgery may cause heavy bleeding and require treatment in the hospital. If you already have a coagulation disorder, the risk is even greater and the surgery may not be suitable for you.

2. Bacteremia. Any surgery in the oral cavity will cause bacteria to briefly enter the blood and cause bacteremia. Under normal circumstances, there will be no major problems. If your physical fitness is poor, it is recommended to use antibiotics 30 minutes before surgery to 24 hours after surgery to prevent infection. However, some diseases will increase the risk of bacteremia leading to other complications. For example, patients with rheumatic heart disease, arthritis, nephritis, diabetes, etc., if the operation must be performed, it is generally recommended to start intravenous infusion of antibiotics 30 minutes before the operation to prevent infection.

3. The treatment effect is poor. Periodontitis is still an unsolved global problem. The extent to which periodontal health can be restored after subgingival scaling depends on many factors. Especially for people who have not developed good oral hygiene habits, the condition may not improve for long after the treatment.

If the common symptoms are caused by gingivitis, you must take timely self-treatment to improve the symptoms. First of all, you need to pay attention to your personal oral hygiene habits, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth in time, avoid eating spicy, irritating and hard foods, take Periodontal Ning Capsules, Yanlixiao Capsules, Azithromycin Dispersible Tablets, Amoxicillin, Metronidazole, ibuprofen and Vitamin B complex orally, rinse your mouth with salt water, and keep your mouth clean at all times.
