Does the Teeth cleaning kit/Teeth eraser hurt the teeth?

Recently, some online people are worried about whether cleaning teeth with melamine foam will cause abrasion to tooth enamel.

Xiamen share nano stated that the cleaning function of magic teeth cleaning kit is the melamine foam manufactured by a special process on the head of the kit. The microfiber filaments of the melamine foam are fine and hard in texture (Each particle is smaller than one ten thousandth of the hair, many times smaller than the toothpaste molecule), it has a strong adsorption ability after being moistened. It can quickly and effectively absorb the tartar stains on the teeth while rubbing, especially stains caused by smoking or drinking tea. ,  coffee, red wine, chewing betel nut and other food pigments, easily remove stains and pigments on the enamel, restore a  white teeth.

But some people are afraid that the rapid cleaning effect of the teeth cleaning kit will cause the wear of tooth enamel.

Now let’s discuss whether teeth cleaning kit will damage the enamel?

The composition of teeth is mainly divided into enamel (enamel), dentin (ivory), and dental pulp (nerve glands).

Enamel: It is composed of numerous dense enamel columns and a small amount of intercolumn. It is the hardest tissue in the human body, covering the surface of the tooth crown. It is milky white, slightly transparent, and hard in nature. It can withstand strong chewing forces. Inorganic salts account for about 96%, of which the main components are calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and so on. Organic ingredients account for only a small amount.

Dentin: It is the main part of the tooth. It is composed of matrix and dentin tubules. The dentin tubules contain cell processes from dentin cells, which can be used for nutrient replacement. The degree of calcification and hardness of dentin is slightly lower than that of enamel. Low, light yellow, opaque. About 70% of inorganic salts, mainly hydroxyapatite, containing calcium phosphate, etc., organic matter accounts for about 30%, mainly collagen.

Cementum: It is a thin layer of bone-like tissue that wraps around the surface of the tooth root.

The outer surface of the tooth is the outer layer of the tooth crown composed of enamel and dentin. Its main components are hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, etc. These materials have a Mohs hardness of 6~7, and the magic teeth cleaning kit works material is melamine foam, its composition is melamine formaldehyde resin, the Mohs hardness is 4.0, which is much lower than the Mohs hardness of enamel and dentin of 6~7. Therefore, the normal teeth cleaning kit use will not cause the abrasion of tooth enamel. You can use it with confidence.
