Cleaning your teeth on your own and professional, which is better and what is the difference between them

People knew about the need to brush your teeth from time immemorial. This operation was carried out during the time of the pharaohs, and according to some sources, even earlier. Then used rigid threads (than not our modern floss!). Also cleared teeth with special chewing masses, sharp thin twigs and salt. Now our shops offer a wide choice of mechanical and electric toothbrushes, a lot of toothpastes and rinse.

But the proper cleaning of teeth depends not only on the materials, but also on the ability to perform this procedure. Some believe that the more often it is conducted, the better. This is not quite true. If you brush your teeth after each meal, the enamel may become too sensitive and begin to react to cold and hot. Therefore, teeth are recommended to brush with toothpaste only twice a day. And after a meal you can rinse your mouth, chew "Orbit" or just eat a hard apple. The second common mistake is that many people try to brush their teeth immediately after sleep. This is also not entirely correct. It is better to do this first time after breakfast, and the second after dinner. The procedure should take at least 4-5 minutes. And you need to clean not only the teeth themselves, but also the tongue, and also perform a gentle massage of the gums with a brush. Cleaning the teeth should be done from the outside and from the inside by movements from side to side, up and down and circular. Also, every day, it is necessary to clean the interdental spaces with flosses, that is, special threads.

Toothpaste can be used any that is more suitable. Only bleach should be used carefully, as they thin the enamel, gradually "removing" it from the tooth along with the bloom.

Some may argue that, how many teeth can not be cleaned, and their color is still deteriorating, and dental stones appear. Teeth change color not because they are left on the plaque, but because the colorants that are present in coffee, tea, tobacco and many products penetrate the enamel. Dental stone appears due to a violation of salt metabolism in the body. To cope with these problems, you need to contact specialists.

In modern clinics, teeth cleaning is done with ultrasound, laser and special abrasive mixtures directed to teeth under pressure (Air-Flow). During the ultrasonic procedure, teeth are cleaned from the stone, the plaque is removed in hard-to-reach places, where no thread or toothbrush can reach. If this is not done, bacteria and microbes will accumulate and multiply in the oral cavity , caries and periodontitis will appear. Air-Flow tartar removes slightly, but the teeth clears so well that they lighten by 1-2 tones. Laser cleaning removes not only the visible stones, but also the invisible, under the gum, which prevents the loosening of the tooth. In addition, this procedure is often combined with bleaching. Teeth become smooth and beautiful.

Unfortunately, professional cleaning of teeth is not shown to everyone. Such procedure can not be done by pregnant, nursing, people with increased sensitivity of enamel, suffering from asthma, cardiac arrhythmia and chronic bronchitis. Also, it is not performed by patients with tuberculosis, hepatitis and HIV carriers. Ultrasonic cleaning is contraindicated for those who have implants and other structures, and laser cleaning with bleaching - those who have seals. They can not be whitened. Therefore, after the procedure, they will severely spoil the appearance.

Now there are many clinics in which professional cleaning of teeth is carried out. The patients' comments on the procedures themselves, on the effect after them and on the quality of care are published on Internet sites. At any time you can read them and choose a suitable clinic for yourself. You need to contact the doctor-hygienists every six months. Only this way you can keep your smile white for a long time, and your teeth are healthy.
