Teeth Cleaning

You may have often heard that we must brush and floss our teeth regularly to prevent tooth cavities and gum diseases. But, no matter how well you brush and floss your teeth, you need to get professional dental cleaning done at your dentist’s clinic to help remove stains, and tartar, other dental problems apart from other deposits between your teeth and gums, to get good oral hygiene.
What is Teeth Cleaning?
A dentist is a specialist who works on your gums, gum lines, gum tissues, teeth, and oral cavities to keep them in the best of health and make sure that there is no tooth decay. Healthy teeth and gums are essential for a healthy body as they form the entry point for all the nutrients that you eat in food. When most people think of a dentist, there is an inherent ‘fear’ of the dentist’s drilling machine, isn’t it? But, did you know, dentists also perform maintenance and preventive treatments that are more like servicing your vehicle or your appliances to keep them healthy and prevent any damage? One such procedure is scaling, also called teeth cleaning. It is a very routine procedure that is performed by every dentist in their office. The main purpose of it is to remove tartar and calculus built up on your gums and teeth, as these contain bacteria that can lead to dental cavities and gum disease.
Importance of Teeth Cleaning
If you have ever visited a dentist, you may have been advised to undergo teeth cleaning. This is because we all develop tartar and calculus on our teeth and gums due to the saliva in our mouth and the food we eat that forms a thin layer on these surfaces. All these, regularly, form incremental layers giving rise to tartar. When this tartar gets calcified due to the calcium ions in our saliva, it is called calculus. Calculus is hard and brittle and does not get dislodged with routine brushing and flossing once formed. It is for this that you must visit your dentist at regular intervals so that he/she can remove the calculus and restore normalcy around the tissues in your mouth. Here are 5 reasons why you must get professional cleansing done by your dentist:
-Teeth cleaning prevents the formation of cavities by reducing the pH of your teeth and gums
-Prevents bad breath
-Removes cavity-causing bacteria
-It removes deposits that are not visible to you while brushing and flossing or inaccessible using these routine procedures
-Prevents gum diseases which can otherwise lead to tooth mobility and tooth loss
What Happens If You Avoid Routine Teeth Cleaning?
It is not uncommon to see people skip their appointments. However, have you ever wondered what happens when you do so? Missing an oral appointment means increased accumulation of calculus and plaque, and setting a vicious cycle for the same. Since calculus is calcified and rough, it acts as a scaffold for more food debris and deposits to accumulate on the existing deposits. This rough calculus is the breeding ground for millions of bacteria that get to access your teeth and create cavities. The calculus itself irritates your gums due to which they move away from it and thereby, expose your roots. As a result, you will more likely develop cavities, gum disease, and even teeth sensitivity.
Does Teeth Cleaning Hurt?
It is a non-invasive procedure and does not hurt. However, people who have excessive deposits around their teeth and gums, or have receded gums and exposed root surfaces tend to complain of sensitivity of varying degrees. The flow of water under pressure on these sensitive parts of the tooth can make one jump on the chair due to extreme sensitivity. However, none of this is pain.
