Can teeth cleaning whiten your teeth?

1 Some people think that healthy teeth are pure white, just like the teeth of models in toothpaste commercials. In fact, this is wrong. The structure of normal teeth is a layer of relatively transparent tooth enamel containing pale yellow dentin, so it can reveal part of the color of dentin, so in daily use, some pigment will definitely accumulate on the surface of the tooth, which will make the color of the tooth look more unsightly 2 An important goal of the tooth is to remove these pigments to the greatest extent, so after a perfect cleaning, because these stained pigments are well removed, the teeth will expose their own color, that is, a faint yellow.

The color of a normal tooth should be slightly yellowish. 3 Physically, 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 teeth whitening 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.

Tartar, pigments often appear around the teeth and on the surface. Scaling is the process of removing them with ultrasound tools to protect periodontal health.

Scaling does not change the color of the tooth itself, it only removes the pigmented color that sticks on the surface of the tooth. If some people feel that their teeth turn white after scaling, it may be because they have washed off the pigment on the surface of their teeth and they appear whiter.

Caused by exogenous causes, teeth can turn white.

Advantage. As we all know, tooth decay (i.e., tooth decay) and periodontal disease (often manifested as tooth brushing bleeding, loose tooth loss, etc.) are the two main oral diseases that plague humans, both of which are mainly caused by plaque bacteria.

Because many people do not practice good oral hygiene habits and do not brush their teeth in the morning and evening or in the correct way, food debris in the mouth and the inherent microflora in the mouth will combine and form plaque on the surface of the teeth. If not cleaned in time, plaque will combine with calcium and phosphorus ions in human saliva to calcify into tartar, which is the main culprit of most toothaches, bad breath, bleeding gums, loose teeth, etc. Brushing is powerless for plaque and tartar that have already formed.

The main purpose of periodontal cleaning (that is, people often say tooth cleaning) is to remove plaque, tartar and pigment deposited on the tooth surface at the junction between the teeth and the gums, so as to remove the local *** element, so that the gum damage stops the development and returns to a relatively healthy state.

Scaling not only maintains oral hygiene, but also removes dirt from the surface of the teeth and restores the natural color of the teeth. However, it should be noted that scaling is different from bleaching in that it does not remove the pigment from the inside of the tooth, and does not really whiten the tooth.

In fact, the ultrasound cleaning head used in scaling does not have any cutting function, it is the high-frequency vibration of ultrasound to break up the tartar, and the doctor has to constantly move the working head during the operation, and there is no pressure, just gently touching the tartar, so that the teeth will not be damaged. However, if the operation is not done properly, such as pressurization or staying on the tooth surface for too long, it will leave small scratches on the tooth surface, and the fine rough surface can be seen under the microscope, and this scratch can be compensated by polishing.
