Is teeth cleaning good for children’s teeth?

Children usually like to eat snacks and do not pay attention to oral health and hygiene, so their teeth are prone to yellowing or tooth decay and caries. At this time, children also need to pay attention to the correct teeth cleaning method. Children's teeth cleaning is actually to remove plaque and teeth, but the most important thing is to remind them to pay attention to oral hygiene in life.

1. The main purpose of children's teeth cleaning is to remove dental plaque and tartar, reduce the occurrence of caries and gum and periodontal diseases. Under normal circumstances, dental plaque and some food deposits can be removed by brushing and flossing. However, if dental plaque is not removed for a long time and has formed tartar, you can only use an ultrasonic dental scaler to wash your teeth or use a spatula to remove tartar.

2. Children's teeth cleaning is slightly different from that of adults. Children aged 2-6 years old usually have a lot of soft plaque and pigmentation, and very few tartar, so they can be removed with a brush and polishing tool on a low-speed handpiece without a dental scaler. Teenagers, especially those with crowded lower front teeth, may have tartar deposits on the tongue side and need to use a dental scaler or spatula.

3. It is also very important to clean children's teeth. Children generally like sweets, and it is not easy to maintain oral hygiene, so they are more susceptible to oral diseases such as caries. Can children have their teeth cleaned? Parents can take their children to a regular dental hospital for teeth cleaning. It is recommended to do it once a year, and teach children to use the correct vertical brush method to brush their teeth.
