Hi lybrate-user, Clinical studies show that frequent scaling of teeth leads to chipping of the outermost layer i.e enamel layer of tooth. However, going for scaling once in 6 months is a good and useful practice.Â

No it is false there is nothing to be done with weakening of root with cleaning but instead it removes the debris present around the root thus strengthening the gums.Â

Scaling doesn't weaken your teeth. It's a myth which you are thinking about. Every six months you can get it done and there is evidence too for that.Â

Scaling never weaken or damage by any means. Actually, Delaying in scaling damages. The long time deposition of plaque and calculus damages the surrounding gums and dissolve the bone of socket of teeth. When a person gets scaling after long time neglect, the space which is previously occupied by plaque is visible now, and you may feel sensitivity temporarily. That's why it looks like scaling damages teeth. But it's a myth. Scaling is safe n reccomended in six months. It improves your oral hygiene. Neglecting those tartar deposition may lead to pyrrhoea. Â

No its not true at all. In fact it makes its strong. Scaling is advised every 6 months. So that if there are no deposits there won't be bone loss and so tooth are firmer.Â
Ask Free Question
No it does not, as it helps healing of gums which hold the teeth covering the bone. If scaling is done at later stage of gum disease it may end up revealing lot of tooth bcoz the supporting bone is lost as a result of gum disease. But people avoid the procedure leading to the tooth loss as a result of gum disease. So getting your teeth scaled at early stage of disease will not hav any obvious effect n your teeth but to keep them intact n healthy.Â
