Teeth cleaning ( scaling) doesn't harm tooth or wear off enamel if done correctly at proper speed. It improves health of gums and teeth supporting structures. Everyone should get cleaning done at 6-8 months interval. If difficult to remember , Celebrate 'Dental Anniversary' every year for cleaning and checking for any developing problem at an early stage.

Hi lybrate-user that's an interesting question you asked. Professional cleaning doesn't wear away your teeth if done in the right way. But yes there are micro scratches on the surface, which would be obliterated and one away with proper polishing of the teeth after the cleaning. Every 6 months once cleaning should be enough.

All individuals requires scaling (cleaning) to be done atleast once in 6 months to maintain our oral hygiene clean. Our toothbrush is not much finely designed to clean all the plaque and calculi in the interdental areas of the teeth, which is the area where most of the calculus accumulate much and has to be removed regularly using scalers by the dentist.
