Can teeth cleaning remove tartar?

Teeth cleaning is a popular method of cleaning teeth in recent years. Many dental clinics claim that teeth cleaning can remove tartar, but is this true? Most people don't quite understand this. In fact, teeth cleaning can remove dental tartar. For example, ultrasonic teeth cleaning and sandblasting teeth cleaning can both achieve the effect of removing dental tartar.

1. What is dental calculus

Tartar is formed because the mouth secretes a large amount of saliva every day. Saliva is rich in minerals. These minerals will form an acidic compound under the action of oral acidity, which is similar to "salt" in composition. When these substances are first formed, they are extremely small and may not be visible to the naked eye. They need a parasite to gather and then undergo a deep acidic chemical reaction before they can form hard stones. Therefore, the way to remove dental plaque is to start from these tiny bodies.

2. The relationship between gum recession and dental calculus not removed

Tartar grows on the roots of teeth and usually will not adhere to smooth tooth enamel. When the gums shrink, the roots without enamel are exposed. The rough surface of the roots makes them ideal hosts for tartar. The more severe the gum recession is, the more the tooth roots are exposed, and the more tartar grows. Therefore, it is very important to remove dental plaque in time.

3. Methods for removing dental calculus:

1. Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic dental cleaning uses the high-frequency oscillation of ultrasound to remove tartar, smoke stains and tea stains on teeth. It can prevent bleeding gums or loose teeth, and help treat oral diseases such as periodontitis. It causes very little damage to the tooth surface, and the teeth cleaning time is also very short. The treatment is convenient, the effect is obvious, and it will not harm oral health.

2. Sandblasting

Sandblasting teeth cleaning uses high air pressure to mix water and biological sea salt and then sprays it at a distance of 3mm from the tooth surface to achieve a cleaning effect. It can completely restore the natural luster of teeth and polish the tooth surface for tiny smoke stains, tea stains, coffee stains, and soft plaque. The biological sea salt in it has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, and it is currently a more comfortable teeth cleaning method.

Teeth cleaning is currently a commonly used dental care method. Going to the hospital for teeth cleaning regularly can not only effectively remove tartar, plaque and other problems, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of oral diseases, allowing you to have a healthy oral cavity for a long time.
