Electric toothbrushes have a certain effect on removing dental calculus, but they cannot completely remove dental calculus. Dental calculus is a calcified substance, which is formed by calcification of food residues, epithelial cell exfoliation and minerals in saliva through a series of reactions. Dental calculus is relatively fragile in the early stage of formation, and there is a certain probability that it can be removed by oral cleaning. If it accumulates over time and calcification is complete, the dental calculus will be relatively strong, and it is basically impossible to remove it by electric brushing.
The reason why an electric toothbrush have a certain effect on removing dental calculus：
1. The dental calculus in the early stage of formation will be shaken off due to the high frequency of the electric toothbrush.
2. Too much calculus leads to weak adhesion, which is shaken off by an electric toothbrush.
The most important thing is to use an electric toothbrush for deep cleaning, which can effectively remove plaque and reduce the formation of dental calculus from the root.
How to remove dental calculus:
1. Tooth cleaning
Dental calculus must be cleaned by scaling. Using an ordinary electric toothbrush to brush your teeth can only slightly remove dental calculus, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem of dental calculus, and after cleaning your teeth, you must also pay attention to the correct way of brushing your teeth.
2. Wash tooth with vinegar
With vinegar in your mouth, rinse your mouth for 2 to 3 minutes and then spit it out, then brush your teeth with a toothbrush, and finally rinse your mouth with warm water. You can also drop two drops of vinegar on the toothpaste when brushing your teeth, and persist for a period of time to remove tartar.
3. Brush your tooth with alum
Grind 50 grams of alum into powder, dip a little bit with a toothbrush each time to brush your teeth, twice a day, you can remove yellow tartar.
How to prevent dental calculus:
1. Pay attention to adjusting the diet structure. It is best to eat less soft and sticky food, especially for children, try to eat less food with high sugar content, and eat more fiber food appropriately, which can increase the self-cleaning effect of teeth and reduce dental bacteria formation of spots.
2. Every six months or a year, it is best to go to the stomatology department of the hospital for an examination. If dental calculus is found, it is best to ask a doctor to remove it when necessary.
