When properly used, ultrasonic dental plaque removers are a safe and effective way of removing plaque and stubborn tartar from teeth.
These devices employ controlled sound waves and water spray to break apart and dislodge dirt from teeth.
This helps improve breath and prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral disorders.
An ultrasound transducer creates high-frequency vibrations that remove plaque, stains, and stubborn tartar from teeth.
Electric scalers are widely used to remove stubborn tobacco and tea stains from teeth.
The high-frequency vibrations that scalers rely on also create oxygen pockets in cavities, gaps, and other dental pockets, killing harmful bacteria.
These electric devices are thus more effective than toothbrushes and dental floss combined. They are the ideal choice for those looking for a thorough way to clean their teeth.
Are Electric Dental Plaque Removers Safe?
Electric scalers are safe and convenient. These devices can be easily used at home with little preparation or training.
These devices only work when they come into contact with hard teeth. They do not vibrate when in contact with gums, so there is little risk of gum injury.
Electric scalers are also less invasive than traditional tooth scalers, and the process of cleaning is relatively painless. With proper use, there is little to worry about.
The scalers also easily reach underneath the gumline, dislodging plaque and tartar from these pockets that are rarely reached through normal brushing or flossing.
What Are the Dangers of DIY Plaque Remover Use?
Inexperienced use of electric scalers carries some risks, which include damage to gum tissues when the scalers are not properly controlled, leading to gum recession.
Scratching and scraping teeth too much can cause sensitivity and enamel erosion.
There is also a risk of cheek and lip infection when the scaler accidentally slips out of the mouth and infections when plaque and tartar are accidentally pushed under the gum line.
Closing Remarks
Electric dental plaque removers are safe and effective in cleaning teeth when effectively used. These devices carry little risk, even for inexperienced DIY users.
