Hiii. Good morning. May be the stains will be extrinsic and discolorations seen. Do scaling once and follow up a scaling after three months to maintain the oral hygiene. After that you can do scaling once a year or six months once. I advice flossing and interdental brushing after scaling. Thank you.

I have got a hygiene clean and didn’t know she did a scaling and polishing on me. I regret going to that specific dentist and should have probably just used a better recommended mouthwash for the little tarter I had built up. She ruined my front bottom teeth because I had no gaps and the gum she cut it off because it was pointy and attached to my teeth in between but it’s all of a sudden and half the amount after I left the appointment. I’m so shocked and it’s kn two places that she did and one worse than the other. I’m 100 percent sure my gum was not was it receding in anyway. Please if you can explain what happened and what did and if my gum will grow or get better. It was done on monday and it’s been thee days I don’t see an improvement and I feel like it’s getting worse. Please help me and what I can do to fix this too.

Always remember
scaling and polishing will never create gaps in the teeth.
Scaling and polishing will never cut the gums.
There is a reason why
1. The instrument that is used to do scaling is a vibrating machine, it vibrates at 120000 rpm i.e speed and some even more. So a vibrating instrument will only vibrate the calculus which you call tartar, and thus the calculus get removed.
2. The instrument that is used to do scaling has no cutting surface, so in no way it can cut gum...more

Hello. Welcome to Lybrate. If you feel like the color doesn't match with adjacent teeth, you can do restoration again. Check if you have any discomfort regarding the filling done. Do you feel any sensitivity. There are possibilities for this. So verify it. If you have further doubts. You can ask me. Thank you.

Hello Lybrate user.
I personally suggest colgate total and colgate charcoal. But the tooth paste alone is not enough to maintain oral hygiene. Brush twice daily. Use dental floss. Use interdental brushes. Use mouth washes. Consult me for further details. Thank you.

Hello Lybrate user. The sound can be normal, or may be due to eruption of wisdom teeth, or any temperomandibular joint diseases. Take an orthopantamogram and consult me for further details. Thank you.

Plaque is not removed regularly by tooth brushing and flossing, it hardens to create calculus (also known as tartar). Calculus cannot be removed with a toothbrush; only a dental professional can remove it during an oral cleaning.
There are certain mineral combos those are used for cleaning teeth effectively but can not clean to the extent of removing thick tartar or stone.
