Things to note when washing teeth

In recent years, more and more people have paid attention to the importance of teeth cleaning, because regular teeth cleaning can help remove tartar on the teeth, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of periodontal disease. Especially for patients with stubborn periodontal disease and tartar, bleeding and stinging are inevitable during the teeth cleaning process, which is normal. What should you pay attention to after cleaning your teeth?

When facing the sensitive stage of teeth after teeth cleaning, we need to take corresponding maintenance measures. Regarding the precautions after teeth cleaning, there are 3 points we need to pay attention to:

1. Stay away from irritating foods. Within two weeks after teeth cleaning, since the teeth are still in the self-recovery period, you should avoid contact with too cold or too hot food during this period.

2. Avoid pigmentation. Try to avoid drinking coffee or smoking after teeth cleaning. Because the substances in coffee and tobacco can easily cause pigments to deposit on the teeth after coming into contact with them.

3. Choose professional anti-sensitive toothpaste. If you have sensitive teeth after teeth cleaning, you can also try anti-sensitive toothpaste to help improve it.

What should I pay attention to when brushing my teeth after teeth cleaning?

1. After teeth cleaning, you should pay attention to the correct way of brushing your teeth to avoid the accumulation of tartar again.

Place the toothbrush at the junction of the teeth and gums, so that the bristles are at a 45-degree angle to the teeth. Then rotate the brush head and brush along the gaps between the teeth. When brushing the upper teeth, brush from top to bottom, and when brushing the lower teeth, brush from bottom to top.

2. Do not use dental floss, toothpicks or other items within one week after teeth cleaning to avoid unexpected bleeding.

3. Once the tartar on the tooth surface is removed, it will slowly be deposited again. After teeth cleaning, you should pay attention to brushing your teeth frequently, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals to keep your teeth clean and prevent tartar from growing again.

4. Because the teeth will be a little sensitive to hot and cold after teeth cleaning, they will feel sore. Generally, this symptom will disappear in about a week. However, if the soreness does not improve, you can consider using anti-sensitive toothpaste. Generally, the symptoms can be relieved after using it for about a month.
