What should I pay attention to after cleaning my teeth

Our reporter Wu Xueqin correspondent Huang Fangming

Teeth scaling, as the name implies, is to clean the teeth, and is generally called periodontal scaling in medicine

Zhang Zebiao reminds you to pay attention to the following matters after cleaning your teeth:

Reducing Dentin Sensitivity Dentin sensitivity is a common complication in many patients after scaling

Face up to gum problems.

Keeping Teeth Clean Teeth often look longer after scaling and have wider gaps between them

Instructions for special populations For patients with periodontitis, the roots of the teeth are exposed after the first cleaning, and the lower front teeth may become loose.

Tips for diet and living habits Do not drink water, rinse your mouth, or eat within half an hour after cleaning your teeth

In addition, you cannot blindly take supplements because of bleeding gums during the cleaning process and bleeding gums afterward

After teeth cleaning, especially after sandblasting, it is recommended to avoid contact with pigmented foods, such as coffee, carbonated drinks, red wine, strong tea, curry, etc.

The last thing to note is that tooth scaling is not a one-time thing.
