Is there any side effects of teeth cleaning? Can it cause loosening of the teeth? I heard so. Please answer.

Question

It's a common misconception that cleaning of teeth will make them weak. Truth is that cleaning of teeth regularly every 6 to 8 months actually makes teeth and gum stronger and disease free. Avoiding the cleaning due to fear or ignorance will only lead to the damage of gums which eventually will lead to loss of teeth. All the patients who get the cleaning done regularly retain their teeth for very long periods and probably life as compared to people who do not visit a dentist to get the cleaning done. Visit a dentist and get the cleaning done regularly there is no need to worry about getting them loose.

Teeth cleaning or scaling is very good for overall health because it removes the dirty debris from the mouth. Since food intake is done through mouth, a clean mouth also helps the internal body organs. Teeth cleaning removes debris which normally cannot be removed with brushing. It is a myth that Teeth cleaning loosens the teeth, because only water and ultrasonic scaler is used in cleaning. Where lot of dirty debris get clogged between teeth, removal of these debris give an impression that teeth have become loose. But actually in above case the teeth health have already been compromised due to bad maintainence.

Good evening! frequent cleaning wil do that, first maintain your oral hygiene. Do it once a year if you have less deposits. Brush your teeth with Oral-B UltraSoft Tooth Brush in circular motion without applying much pressure. Use Cleanodent mouth wash and brush twice a day.
