What is the difference between teeth cleaning and scaling?

Everyone wants to have white and bright teeth, but the teeth are easily affected by various oral diseases and become black and yellow, so we need to use teeth cleaning and scaling to help whiten the teeth. Teeth scaling is divided into three steps: ultrasonic cleaning, sandblasting cleaning and polishing.

1. Experts point out that teeth cleaning can whiten teeth, which is purely a misunderstanding. Teeth cleaning does not have the effect of whitening teeth. Teeth cleaning is only a health care measure to maintain periodontal health. It is not equivalent to tooth discoloration and cannot whiten the teeth themselves. After teeth cleaning, the dirt on the teeth is removed, the teeth will look cleaner and the mouth will feel very relaxed and comfortable, which makes some people mistakenly believe that teeth cleaning can make teeth whiter.

2. There are generally three steps in teeth cleaning, namely ultrasonic cleaning, sandblasting cleaning and polishing. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a critical step. Some people may only need ultrasonic cleaning, without the need for sandblasting and polishing. Regular use of ultrasonic teeth cleaning not only makes the teeth clean and comfortable, but also promotes blood circulation in the gums and makes the mouth refreshed. During the cleaning process, if shallow caries or damage is found on the teeth, modern technology can be used in time to remove the carious tooth substance and use light-curing materials to repair the teeth completely, so as to achieve the purpose of beautifying the teeth.

3. There are many methods for teeth whitening, the most common ones are tray whitening, cold light whitening and porcelain whitening. Among them, tray whitening is a home-based teeth whitening method, while cold light whitening and porcelain whitening are medical cosmetic methods. Cold light whitening technology uses the principle of physical reduction and is very safe for gums or oral tissues and will never harm any oral tissues.

4. Although home tray whitening technology has certain effects, it is not possible to guarantee the perfection of the treatment due to the unprofessional operation when the patient wears the tray at home, thus affecting the effect of the treatment. The above is the relevant introduction of authoritative dental experts. I believe that you who love beauty have a further understanding.
