When using the tooth thrower, the water will drive the food residues and bacteria in the mouth, effectively cleaning the teeth and periodontal tissue, but if used improperly, it may cause some damage to the gums, leading to gingival atrophy.
Specifically, if the water flow is too strong or directed at the gums for too long, the gums will be stimulated and damaged, causing gingival atrophy. Gingival atrophy will make the teeth lack of support, easy to loose and fall off, and even affect the beauty and chewing function of the teeth in serious cases.
Therefore, pay attention to the following points when using the die punch:
1. Select the water pressure and flow mode suitable for yourself, and do not use too strong water flow.
2. Aim the water at the tooth surface, not directly at the gums.
3. The use time should not be too long, and each use should not exceed two minutes.
4. After use, rinse your mouth in time to clean gums and residues in your mouth.
To sum up, the correct use of the dental impactor will not lead to gingival atrophy, but if used improperly, it may cause damage to the gums, leading to gingival atrophy. Therefore, when using the punch, pay attention to the correct use methods and precautions.
