After scaling, patients may feel that the gap between the teeth becomes bigger, but it is not caused by scaling itself, mainly because the plaque and tartar in the gap are removed, and the swelling of the gums in the gap subsides.
1. Remove plaque and tartar in the gap: the gap itself exists before scaling, but there is a lot of plaque, tartar and even food debris accumulated in the gap, after scaling, the patient feels that the gap becomes bigger, but in fact it is still the original gap.
2. The swelling of the gums in the gap subsides: before scaling, the gap in the teeth is red and swollen, after scaling, the inflammation subsides, the swelling is relieved, showing that the gap has become bigger, but at this time the gums are restored to health.
Scaling plays an important role in the long-term retention of teeth, and it is specifically recommended to consult a professional doctor.
