People are scrambling to visit health check centers before year-end. Care for the gums is becoming a priority.
Public health insurance covers scaling of teeth once annually for adults aged 19 or more.
Since more people are concerned about their health, here is a look into how to maintain healthy gums.
Many people think that brushing your teeth three times daily for three minutes or more within three minutes after a meal is enough.
Brushing your teeth is an effective solution to prevent diseases of the gums, such as cavities, but it is not a cure-all for all gum diseases.
That is because plaque between teeth and the gums may cause issues.
First, there is the need for knowing the difference between plaque and tartar.
Plaque, that soft, sticky film that builds up on your teeth from food leftovers and gum bacteria, can be removed by teeth brushing, flossing and gargling.
On the other hand, plaque buildup that hardens into a tartar by combing minerals in salvia cannot be removed only by using care.
Tartar buildup may cause paradental cyst between gums and teeth, with accumulated infections leading to the destruction of their surrounding areas.
It could cause the loss of teeth and tooth bones. Scaling is a means of protecting teeth and gums by removing tartar.
People tend to be reluctant to treat bleeding or sensitivity of the gums that appear following scaling.
The removal of tartar through scaling may cause exposure of dental destine and tooth roots.
