Teeth Cleaning FAQ

Q

Teeth cleaning is painful. Will it harm the teeth?

A

In Macau, teeth cleaning is primarily performed using ultrasonic vibration technology to remove tartar and dental plaque. When performed by a professional dentist, it should not cause any harm to the teeth and gums. If you experience pain during the procedure, it is likely due to pre-existing gum inflammation, which can cause discomfort when the ultrasonic vibrations come into contact with the tartar.

Q

Will my teeth become sensitive after teeth cleaning?

A

Teeth cleaning does not cause tooth sensitivity. On the contrary, the lack of regular dental maintenance can lead to gum disease, which can result in exposed tooth roots and increased tooth sensitivity to acidic and soft foods. Additionally, individuals who already have sensitivity issues may experience increased sensitivity after the removal of tartar, as the underlying sensitive tooth roots and inflamed gums are exposed, making the teeth more susceptible to stimulation.

Q

What are the consequences of not cleaning your teeth?

A

The longer you go without teeth cleaning, the more tartar and dental plaque will accumulate, providing a breeding ground for bacteria and leading to gum inflammation. If the inflammation persists, it can progress to periodontal disease, which, in severe cases, can cause tooth loss as the supporting structures of the teeth are compromised.

Q

Post-teeth cleaning maintenance methods

A

To maintain good oral health, in addition to brushing your teeth twice a day, it is important to use dental floss to remove dental plaque and prevent the accumulation of tartar along the gumline. This will help ensure a healthy mouth.
