Ultrasonic tooth cleaners are usually effective in removing pigmentation such as coffee stains and tea stains on teeth. Its working principle is to loosen and remove dirt and pigments attached to the surface of teeth through high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning teeth.
Pigmentation such as coffee stains and tea stains is mainly formed by long-term contact with pigment-containing substances, and the pigment molecules penetrate into the tiny pores on the surface of the teeth or combine with substances on the surface of the enamel. The high-frequency vibrations generated by ultrasonic tooth cleaners can destroy the binding force between pigment molecules and the adhesion between pigments and the surface of teeth, so that pigment particles are separated from the surface of teeth.
While the ultrasonic vibrations are in progress, the cleaner also generates oscillating water flows. These water flows can penetrate into the gaps and grooves of the teeth, wash away the pigmentation loosened by the ultrasonic vibration, further enhance the cleaning effect, and allow some hard-to-reach areas to be effectively cleaned.
However, the cleaning effect of ultrasonic tooth cleaners will be affected by the degree of pigmentation. For coffee stains and tea stains that have been formed for a short time and have lighter pigmentation, the cleaner can usually remove them more thoroughly, restoring the teeth to a cleaner state. However, for long-term accumulation and deep pigmentation, it may not be completely removed at one time, and multiple uses are required to see obvious results.
The condition of the teeth themselves will also affect the cleaning effect. If there are problems such as enamel damage and caries on the surface of the teeth, it may cause the pigment to penetrate into the teeth more easily, increasing the difficulty of cleaning. Ultrasonic tooth cleaner may only remove part of the surface pigment, and it is difficult to completely eliminate the deep pigmentation.
The correct use method and frequency are crucial to the cleaning effect. When using, the brush head of the cleaner needs to be fully in contact with the surface of the teeth, and move slowly according to the correct operation method to ensure that every part can be fully cleaned. At the same time, a reasonable frequency of use is also critical. Too frequent use may cause damage to the teeth and gums, and too few uses will not achieve the ideal cleaning effect.
Ultrasonic tooth cleaner has a certain ability to remove pigmentation such as coffee stains and tea stains on teeth, but it cannot guarantee that it can achieve the ideal effect in all cases. While using ultrasonic tooth cleaner, combined with the correct brushing method, regular oral examinations and professional teeth cleaning, it can better maintain the cleanliness and health of teeth and reduce the occurrence of pigmentation.
