Patients who have their teeth cleaned for the first time often ask questions like: Will teeth cleaning cause teeth to wear out? Will it make the gaps between teeth wider and make the teeth loose?

As long as you understand the principles and functions of teeth cleaning, such psychological pressure can naturally be eliminated. The medical term for teeth cleaning is "supragingival cleaning", which is the process of removing tartar and soft plaque from the tooth surface and the surface of dental fillings or restorations.

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.
