Twice a year cleaning: Why?

For most of the older generation, teeth are very healthy as long as they are neat and they don’t feel any discomfort when eating, but is this really the case? In fact, the saliva inside our mouth contains a large amount of glycoprotein, the viscosity of these glycoproteins will be adsorbed on the surface of our teeth, at the same time the bacteria and food fine residues in the mouth will also be adsorbed on the tooth surface by glycoproteins, gradually The formation of what we often call dental plaque.

Plaque hiding between teeth is usually more difficult to clean. Over time, this layer of sediment slowly develops into dental calculus. If dental calculus and plaque are not cleaned for a long time, it can induce mouth ulcers, frequent bleeding of brushing, red and swollen gums, periodontitis, etc., which can even lead to gum atrophy and eventually tooth loss and other serious consequences!

In addition, if the plaque is not removed, bacteria will break down large amounts of acidic substances on the surface of the teeth, which will slowly corrode our enamel and dentin, and small holes will soon appear on the teeth, which are tooth decays . With the spread of tooth decay, the integrity of the tooth is compromised and infection can occur. The infection spreads to the gums, leading to periodontal disease and pulp infections. Infected teeth must be root canal treatment or extracted.

Both of the above conditions can lead to loss of teeth, and the missing teeth will need to be replaced with dental bridges or dental implants.

In fact, cleaning your teeth twice a year is not only as simple as cleaning your teeth, but also shoulders the role of early prevention.

For most people, teeth cleaning is just a simple cleaning. In fact, during the teeth cleaning process, the dentist will carefully check the health of each of your teeth and gums. If anything is found to be inappropriate, he will promptly help you take a CT scan for further examination. Ensure that any dental problems can be nipped in the bud, and even minor problems can be dealt with in advance to minimize the harm. In addition, the dentist will check whether there are any tissue changes in the oral cavity. These changes may indicate potential diseases such as oral cancer or diabetes. Regular examinations can detect and treat early. While spending a small amount of money to protect your dental health, you can also prevent serious diseases and save a lot of money in the future.

Since regular teeth cleaning is so important, how much does teeth cleaning cost in Macau?

In Macau, the cost of a dental cleaning is usually affected by the location of the clinic, the qualifications of the doctor and the equipment used. Generally, the price of dental cleaning in Macau is between 300 and 800 MOP. And the cost of checking the filming increases separately. For residents of Macau, the cost of a simple cleaning and dental examination can be as high as more than 1,000. If twice a year and with the whole family, the cost is really not a small amount to add up.

So is there a better option and way?

In fact, there are, on the Zhuhai mainland to see the teeth. Because of the huge gap in consumption standards between the two places, the price of dental cleaning in Macau is at least three times that of Zhuhai. With the development of the mainland's economy in the past decade or so, it has well driven the development of the mainland's medical industry, especially in some of the top universities in China, where the research and teaching of oral medicine has developed to the world's leading standards. There is not much difference in the standard of oral care between Macau and Zhuhai.
