Is cleaning good for teeth?
Regular cleaning (every 6 months) is the best thing possible to maintain good oral health and prevent any cavities or loosening of teeth.
There are a lot of false beliefs where people say teeth loosening happens after teeth cleaning, gums become weak, teeth become sensitive. We never try and understand what is the story behind these beliefs. If you have a car which you haven't serviced since ages and suddenly it starts troubling and you send it for service without changing any parts, you cannot expect the car to start running smoothly and you cannot also say that my car started giving problems after servicing. Same holds true for teeth, if the damage is already done to your gums and bone due to negligence of several years, you cannot expect everything to be fine just by cleaning and neither can you say my teeth problems started after teeth cleaning.
Teeth cleaning is done by a metallic tool that just vibrates at high frequency, so it can only remove the tar accumulated around the teeth and gums with those vibrations, it cannot damage the teeth surface. If there is a lot of calcified tar around the teeth, it has already caused bone support to go down, but cleaning will prevent further damage and also tighten the gums a little as inflammation and gum swelling reduces.
So take your dentists advice and start today, maintain your oral health as it affects your entire body. Teeth cleaning charges range from 1000-2500 depending on the condition and number of appointments needed to finish proper prophylaxis.
