My teeth hurt after washing

Teeth are an important part of the human body, an important component of the face, and the main organ for chewing food. Since dental care products come into contact with food, drinks, etc. for a long time, if you do not pay attention to oral hygiene for a long time, it is easy to form tartar, which will affect your oral health. Teeth cleaning is an effective way to remove tartar and whiten teeth. So, what should you do if you have toothache after washing your teeth?

1. What to do if you have toothache after teeth washing

Teeth cleaning is mainly to clean the tartar and stains above and below the gums, which are difficult to clean with normal brushing. It is not for whitening. Of course, since teeth cleaning can remove surface stains, it has some whitening effect in the short term. However, due to the adhesion process of tartar and stains, it has already caused a certain erosion on the tooth surface, so dirt can easily adhere to it again. Therefore, do not easily believe in the so-called bleaching and teeth cleaning. Bleaching is more or less done by chemical means. Not only does it not have the expected dental health care effect, but it does more harm to the teeth.

After the tartar is washed away, the teeth and gums covered by the tartar are exposed, so you will feel a little hot, cold, and soreness at first, but it will usually be gone in less than a month. You can brush your teeth with Lengshenling toothpaste for a few days. If it still doesn't work, go to the hospital for a teeth cleaning for a check-up.

The first type is tooth and pulp lesions. As the caries develops to a deeper level, there will be irritation pain caused by cold, heat, etc. If it is not treated at this time, it will further develop into pulpitis and cause spontaneous pain. If you do not go to the hospital for treatment at this level, you will not be able to sleep at night due to the pain! After the acute inflammation period, the pain symptoms will be alleviated until they disappear, but don’t think that the inflammation will disappear. In fact, the inflammation not only erodes the pulp in the tooth but also develops to the periodontal tissue. The inflammation penetrates into the alveolar bone and causes alveolar bone absorption, reaches the gums to form fistulas, and white pus flows out from them. At this time, you should go to the hospital for more complex treatment, otherwise, the tooth must be extracted.

2. What are the hazards of frequent teeth cleaning?

Tartar is an important factor causing caries and periodontal disease. Therefore, supragingival cleaning is an important measure to prevent caries and periodontal disease, and is the basis for treating periodontal disease. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is often used in clinical practice. The basic principle is to use the ultrasonic vibration efficiency and water mist flushing to greatly improve the efficiency of tartar removal. The working end of the ultrasonic tooth cleaning machine head is made smooth and has no cutting or grinding functions. Therefore, it has no cutting or grinding effect during the tooth cleaning process, so there is naturally no problem of tooth wear.

Under the "disguise" of tartar, patients are unaware that due to the toxicity of tartar, their gums have severely receded, their tooth roots have been severely exposed, their teeth have become loose, and the gaps between teeth have widened. After teeth cleaning, some patients are afraid to face it and mistakenly think that it was caused by ultrasound.

The ultrasonic wave produced by the dental scaler can only remove tartar from the tooth surface, but it does not have the ability to "quietly" destroy teeth and periodontal tissues like tartar. Patients who have misunderstandings underestimate the harm of tartar.

3. Things to note after teeth cleaning

Do not suck hard, lick with your tongue, or touch your gums with your fingers after teeth cleaning. Do not use dental floss or toothpicks within a week to prevent unexpected bleeding. If bleeding suddenly occurs for some reason after teeth cleaning for a period of time, please seek medical treatment in time.
