The dental flosser is still very convenient to use, many people will be the flosser and scaling together, in fact, the difference between the two is still very big, the flosser is suitable for daily household cleaning, scaling, is for some stubborn dental calculus, then, the flosser can replace the scaling? I will bring the introduction below.
Is there a difference between a dental floss rinse and a dental hospital scaling
The difference is big.
Dental flosser is the use of instantaneous water pressure, the teeth residual food rinse off, is not considered a medical device, and for years and years of dental calculus is not very useful.
Scaling is an ultrasonic scaler that removes tartar, plaque, and other plaque attached to the patient's teeth. Tools are also needed to remove any missed tartar after the ultrasonic cleaning. When the tartar is cleaned, a sandblasting system is used to flush out the cleaned tartar.
Some people may have calculus-like particles fall out after using the flosser, but that's just the surface layer of some calculus or soft tartar that hasn't been ingrained yet, and really stubborn calculus still needs to be dealt with in the hospital.
When using a dental floss rinse, if you find that your gums bleed when you use it, it is recommended that you first determine whether there is inflammation, and if there is gingivitis or periodontitis, you need to stop using it, or the more you rinse, the worse it gets.
If it is caused by the pressure, it is recommended to reduce the water pressure to the appropriate level before use.
Can a dental flosser replace a dental scaling
The two work on different principles, so the cleaning power is not the same, and can not be replaced. Dental floss is the use of water pumps pressurized water, with a larger pressure jet on the teeth, food and plaque removal, suitable for daily household cleaning, the best after each meal to take it rinse teeth, long-distance business trips, the best to carry with the bag. And scaling is the use of ultrasonic cavitation principle, remove dental calculus (very stubborn, rinse teeth rinser can not be rinsed away), generally half a year or a year to wash 1 time is enough.
Extended reading: what are the disadvantages of a dental floss rinse?
1, the impact of the flosser is strong, this is both the advantages and disadvantages, because the impact of the flosser is strong, so it touches the gums do not know the weight of the points, it is easy to hurt the gums.
2, most people's dental quality is low, especially many people have cavities, periodontitis, tooth sensitivity and other problems, if you can not pick according to their own dental health degree of dental floss is very easy to cause harm, or aggravate dental problems.

But 1.4 billion people in China, the complexity of the teeth is very high, coupled with the majority of people use the rinse more casual, the probability of injury to the teeth is still very large, the rinse rate of injury to the teeth is rising year by year in the past few years!
