Common Myths for Dental Scaling / Teeth Cleaning in India

Teeth Cleaning causes Enamel to shed off and weakens the teeth

It is the most common myth that teeth cleaning weakens the teeth but this is absolutely incorrect. Scaling only removes the superficial deposited tarter debris and stains, it doesn’t harm your tooth enamel when done in the recommended way. Minimal pressure is advised (Feather Touch) while scaling procedure.

Sometimes if the teeth are already loosened by the advanced disease it may feel the mobility has increased after scaling and get better in few days. In these cases also it is recommended to get your teeth cleaned and go for reconstructive procedures.

Teeth become Sensitive after Scaling

In cases of progressed gum diseases where bone loss exposes the root surfaces, minor sensitivity is normal after deep teeth scaling as the deposits from the exposed root surfaces are washed off. Teeth sensitivity usually decreases and goes to normal and even better within few days.

After teeth cleaning the minor gum loss regrows to its normal level and covers the tooth root. In case of advanced diseases, further treatment of teeth sensitivity is required

Dental Scaling Increases Gaps Between Teeth

Teeth cleaning does not increase the teeth gaps in fact it removes the dirty harmful deposits which are accumulated in between teeth. The gaps which are formed should be kept clean by daily flossing or using an interdental brush. For closing teeth gaps permanently patients can consult our cosmetic dentist for further treatment of teeth gap closure.

Dental scaling is a painful procedure

Today in this era of modern dentistry none of the dental procedures are painful. Generally, we do not require any kind of anesthesia for superficial and mild subgingival deposits. For deeper deposits, we recommend topical anesthetic gels and sprays to make your teeth cleaning procedure as comfortable as possible.

Are Teeth Cleaning and Teeth Whitening are same

There is a huge difference between teeth cleaning and teeth whitening procedure

Teeth cleaning a therapeutic procedure that is necessary be done to keep your gums and teeth healthy. It removes the external bad deposits and stains. After Dental scaling and polishing the teeth appear whiter due removal of external stains but it does not change the color or shade of the original teeth.
