우와 동네에 정말 좋은 병원이 있네요? 자기한테 맞는 병원 찾기 정말 힘든데 부럽네요..
I haven't been able to visit the dentist once during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even without COVID-19, going to the dentist was the scariest thing I've ever done, but now that COVID-19 has spread, I can't go anymore.
Are you all afraid of the dentist and can't go? Me too~
But maybe because I haven't been able to get a checkup for a long time
My teeth were throbbing and I felt numb when I drank water, so I thought I should go to the dentist.
In the past, I had to visit the dentist at least once a year for scaling.
Since I moved from another area, I didn't even know where to go to the dentist in my current neighborhood!
So I just went to the closest one near my house, and I thought it would be nice to get a checkup and scaling done while I was there, but I hesitated a lot even at the entrance.
How much does it hurt if I haven't had scaling done in 3 years?
I don't like being sick...
The place I visited was Yangsan Jungsan ABC Dental Clinic.
As soon as you enter the dental clinic, you are greeted warmly.
Thanks to the friendly staff, my nerves were eased, but as soon as I entered the examination room, my heart raced again. The doctor I met in the examination room was also very kind and had a soothing voice, which helped me relax and feel at ease. Fortunately, my condition was fine, and he said there was no need for urgent treatment, so he said scaling would help, so I went for it.
I hate scary things and am sensitive to pain, but they did scaling for me in a way that was painless!
Oh~ Scaling complete without a single sound!
What is scaling?
On the surface of the tooth, on the upper surface of the junctional epithelium Treatment to remove tartar
It refers to a procedure to remove tartar on the upper part of the junctional epithelium on the surface of the teeth by scraping off hard substances or peeling off scales.
The purpose is to physically remove hard deposits (hard deposits such as tartar) or soft deposits (dental plaque, food debris, and exogenous pigments) attached to natural teeth or artificial teeth in the oral cavity, and to smoothen the tooth surface, thereby preventing reattachment. In general, it is ideal to have dental cleaning every 6 months. People with a lot of dental plaque or tartar attached should have dental cleaning treatment every 3 months, and people who brush their teeth well and have good oral hygiene should have dental cleaning treatment every 12 months. It is a procedure that is often performed once a year.
Dental caries (cavities) and periodontal disease, which are representative oral diseases, are caused when dental plaque develops into tartar. There are areas in the oral cavity that are difficult to clean with toothbrushing or oral hygiene aids due to their anatomical and morphological structure, and tartar that gradually hardens over time is difficult to remove with toothbrushing alone. Scaling removes such dental plaque and tartar and smoothes the tooth surface, thereby eliminating bad breath and preventing oral diseases such as periodontal disease. However, teeth whitening and scaling are different!
Scaling does not whiten your teeth. It only removes nicotine and exogenous pigments along with tartar during scaling, which has a teeth whitening effect. Please keep in mind that it is not for teeth whitening.
They gave me thorough instructions before and after the scaling procedure, and they also made sure I didn't forget the precautions, which was really helpful! The procedure time varies from person to person, but mine took over 30 minutes after a long time.
Do you feel any pain or numbness in between?
Thanks to the pain check, the procedure went smoothly.
Thank you so much for following my advice, which was to not feel pain!
After scaling, the director checked again to see if it was done well and told me how to manage it going forward, so I felt like I was being taken care of.
The director and the staff are all friendly.
Thanks to that, I received good treatment, and even though I had a lot of tartar, the scaling was done without pain, and I was happy that the doctor did not ask for excessive treatment, so I did not feel burdened. I decided to visit again next time.
After getting my teeth scaled, I definitely felt refreshed. I think getting my teeth scaled once a year is essential! Since it's updated every July, if you haven't been able to go to the dentist due to COVID-19, I hope you all get your teeth scaled in the first half of this year. ~^^
I went to Yangsan Jungsan ABC Dental Clinic for scaling without any pain, and I had a pleasant and light-hearted visit!
