Is tooth washing harmful to teeth?

Medical experts believe that when people choose to wash their teeth, they should combine their actual oral conditions. If the teeth are naturally calcified, pay attention to oral hygiene at ordinary times, and always have health care, there is not much need to wash your teeth frequently. After all, any kind of external treatment of teeth will cause more or less damage to teeth. If oral hygiene is not good, it is best to wash your teeth once every six months.

Doctors don't think it's necessary to worry too much about the slight damage that tooth washing may cause to teeth, because after tooth washing, doctors will definitely use medical rubber wheels to polish teeth, keep teeth smooth and inhibit the rapid "rebound" of dental plaque. Moreover, teeth themselves have metabolism, and timely and appropriate tooth washing is also necessary for oral hygiene.

However, experts also remind you that at present, the main methods of tooth cleaning in China are manual instrument cleaning, ultrasonic tooth cleaning and sandblasting. Manual dental cleaning means that medical staff scrape off a little soft dirt and stones from your teeth with dental cleaning tools; Ultrasonic tooth cleaning mainly removes stubborn tartar through ultrasonic vibration; Sand blasting is to clean teeth by using fine salt particles sprayed out quickly.

Although ultrasonic cleaning is the most popular cleaning method at present, it is not suitable for everyone and is not suitable for regular use. If there are heavy pigments or more calculus and soft dirt on the teeth, it is more appropriate to clean the teeth with ultrasonic or manual instruments. Ultrasonic tooth cleaning can completely remove foreign bodies in teeth, but it can't be used often. Because it cleans teeth by ultrasonic vibration, the surface of teeth will become slightly rough after use. Although this roughness is invisible to the naked eye, frequent use will still cause harm to teeth.

At present, most hospitals use manual instruments and sandblasting to clean teeth, while some dental clinics take the lead in promoting ultrasonic cleaning. Therefore, when people choose the way to wash their teeth, they must choose carefully according to their own teeth, so as not to cause unnecessary harm to their teeth.
