Whether or not the large gaps revealed after scaling can be restored depends on the degree of destruction of the alveolar bone caused by the original gum inflammation or periodontal inflammation. If the inflammation destroys the alveolar bone to a lesser extent, the gap may be restored to a certain extent if the inflammation gradually subsides after scaling; if the gum recession is severe, it is more difficult to recover on its own, but it can be improved through periodontal surgery or orthodontics. After scaling, the calculus and plaque left in the tooth gap are removed, and the original blocked tooth gap is revealed, which can give people a feeling that the tooth gap has become bigger from the appearance. However, the gap between the teeth after scaling is not caused by scaling, but mainly due to gum shrinkage caused by plaque compression of the gums. Therefore, whether or not the gap size can be restored is related to the impact of calculus and inflammation on the periodontium. If the periodontal or gingival inflammation, the degree of damage to the alveolar bone is mild, the enlarged gap may be able to gradually recover as the inflammation subsides; if the periodontal or gingival inflammation, the degree of damage to the alveolar bone is large, it may not be able to recover on its own, and surgical procedures such as free gingival grafting and gingival lengthening will be required to help improve the problem of the gap becoming larger. Orthodontics can also be used to close the gap between teeth, but you need to choose in accordance with your own situation. If the gap between the teeth becomes bigger after scaling, you should go to the hospital for examination to clarify the cause of the gap, and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the physician.
