Can regular scaling really whiten teeth?

Scaling does not whiten your teeth.

Teeth will definitely accumulate some pigment on the surface of the tooth during daily use, and these pigments will make the color of the tooth look unsightly. Therefore, an important goal of scaling is to remove these pigments as much as possible, so after a perfect scaling, the teeth will be exposed to their own color, i.e. a faint yellow, because these stained pigments are well removed.

Scaling is mainly used to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth, which can detect oral diseases early. Many people misunderstand the existence of teeth cleaning, thinking that after teeth cleaning, the gap between the teeth will become larger, the teeth will loosen, and the teeth will be cleaned, and the idea that teeth cleaning is just a kind of whitening is not right.

Although daily brushing can remove some plaque, with the accumulation of time, calculus will slowly form under the action of bacteria, which can not be removed by brushing, only tooth cleaning.

Nowadays, most dental clinics and hospitals use ultrasonic scaling, because the ultrasonic tooth head does not have any destructive function, it can remove the calculus on the teeth, and the doctor will move slowly and gently during the operation, and the pressure will not damage the teeth, so there is no need to worry, there are other *** after the tooth cleaning.

In fact, many people have a misunderstanding of the color of their teeth, and many people think that healthy teeth are pure white, just like the teeth of models in toothpaste advertisements. In fact, this is wrong. The structure of a normal tooth is a transparent layer of enamel containing yellowish dentin, so it can reveal part of the color of the dentin, so the color of the normal tooth should be slightly yellowish.

Teeth that are particularly white and have no transparency often give an unreal feeling.

In daily use, some pigments will definitely accumulate on the surface of the teeth, which can make the color of the teeth look more unsightly. An important goal of scaling is to remove these pigments as much as possible, so after a perfect scaling, the teeth will be exposed to their own color, i.e. a faint yellow, as the pigments are well removed.

In general, there will be a certain degree of whitening of teeth after scaling, but as a means of preventing and ** periodontal disease, the effect of scaling to whiten teeth is extremely limited. Patients can improve the appearance of their teeth more significantly through other methods such as cold light whitening, aesthetic restoration, and other techniques.

The main thing is to see what causes the yellow teeth and black teeth, if it is the black teeth caused by taking medicine in childhood, etc., teeth cleaning can not change the color of the teeth, it may still be very black, but if it is the yellow teeth caused by calculus, you can change the color of the teeth by scaling the teeth, make the teeth whiter, and wash them regularly, so that the teeth will be whiter because they are cleaner, but not too often, so as not to damage the gum soft tissue.

It can whiten teeth in the short term, but in the medium to long term, it may cause loose teeth, and tooth loss may occur in middle age. Therefore, it is not recommended for everyone to have their teeth cleaned frequently.

Scaling can help wash off the dirt on the surface of the teeth, some teeth will not be very white even if they have been washed, usually do not clean your teeth often, once or twice a year, and then you can use some whitening toothpaste.

Scaling can cause some of the teeth to turn yellow or black due to tooth surface pigment or other exogenous factors. However, if the color of the tooth itself is due to the yellowish color of the dentin, then scaling will not make the tooth whiter.

Because scaling is only a process of removing calculus, plaque, and pigment from the surface of the teeth, and cannot change the structure of the teeth themselves. Therefore, if the color of the teeth is yellow and black, it is caused by exogenous factors, and the teeth can become whiter than the original by scaling, and if the color of the teeth in this province is the yellow of the dentin through the enamel, the yellow of the teeth can not be solved by scaling.

Therefore, scaling can make some teeth whiter, and some yellowed teeth cannot be whitened by scaling.

Teeth cleaning can not whiten the teeth, it can only remove some smoke stains, tea stains and other pigments on the surface of the teeth, if there are more pigments such as tea stains and smoke stains, the teeth will feel whiter after cleaning. However, if it is caused by the color of the tooth itself, such as tetracycline, dental fluorosis, etc., this situation cannot be washed white.

Because it will wash away the dirt on the surface of your teeth, and it will also clean you from the calculus, which will not only whiten your teeth, but also improve your breath.

Because in fact, there is a lot of garbage that we can't clean when we brush our teeth.

The question of whether teeth cleaning will turn white may seem simple, but it is very complicated. Teeth aren't white, so scaling doesn't literally make them whiter. In addition, scaling does not change the color of the hard tissues of the teeth, and if the teeth are cleaned after cleaning, the teeth will turn white because there is a large amount of plaque, tartar, and pigment attached to the surface of the teeth before scaling.

When these colored attachments are removed, the tooth will return to its original bright white color, so it is considered that the tooth will turn white after cleaning. However, the real effect of whitening the hard tissue of the teeth is not by tooth cleaning, but there are several technologies, including teeth whitening technology, laser whitening, cold light whitening, all of which have whitening agents applied to the surface of the teeth, and then processed by different light sources, so that the teeth can have the effect of whitening. Of course, more serious tooth discoloration can also be done with porcelain veneers, or resin veneers.

Of course, it can also be repaired with an all-ceramic crown, which can also have a whitening effect.

Because a large amount of plaque, tartar, and pigment are attached to the surface of the teeth before scaling, and when these colored attachments are removed, the teeth will return to their original bright white color, so it is considered that the teeth will turn white after cleaning.
