The reason why the gap between teeth becomes bigger after scaling may be due to the presence of a large amount of calculus between the teeth, suffering from periodontitis, etc., which can be restored by means of surgical treatment.
1. Calculus: After receiving scaling treatment, the localized calculus can be cleaned up, and then the symptom of the gap between the teeth will become bigger. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, generally do not need to receive treatment, with the passage of time, the gap may be gradually reduced, and will not have an impact on the health of the oral cavity.
2. Periodontitis: When periodontitis occurs, the local gum tissue will be stripped from the tooth tissue, will accumulate more tartar, after scaling, resulting in the gap between the teeth become larger. It can be treated by periodontal scaling.
After the periodontal inflammation recovers, the gap between the teeth caused by periodontitis can be improved by periodontal splinting or orthodontic treatment depending on the situation
After scaling, you need to go to the dental hospital regularly to check the growth and development of your teeth, follow the doctor’s instructions when using medication, do not use your own medication, and consult a doctor in time when any abnormalities occur, so as not to cause more serious consequences.
