Teeth polishing generally will not damage the teeth, mainly using a small brush dipped in polishing paste to make the surface smooth, the essence of the teeth will not produce damage.
1. The principle of clinical tooth polishing and electric toothbrush brushing principle is basically similar, and will not cause damage to the dental tissues. Generally refers to the doctor after the completion of scaling, the use of low-speed handpiece mounted small brush or rubber cup, dipped in the appropriate amount of polishing paste or polishing paste, and then low-speed polishing on the surface of the teeth, so that the rough surface of the teeth become smooth.
2. The reason for polishing after scaling is that after scaling, the tip of the ultrasonic tip can not penetrate into the fossa, fissure, or neighboring gap and other hidden positions, resulting in the surface of the teeth with fine calculus, stains, pigmentation and other material residues, which need to be polished in order to thoroughly clean up the fine foreign matter, thus restoring the teeth smooth, and slowing down the pigmentation and the speed of the adhesion of dental calculus.
Therefore, polishing will not damage the teeth, but it is recommended that it be done by a professional dentist.
