Does professional cleaning and scaling loosen the teeth?
Our teeth are firmly held together by supporting structures such as the gums and alveolar bone. Bad oral hygiene results in deposition of tartar which causes bleeding of gums and hence a dental procedure such as scaling makes us feel that the teeth have loosened. But the removal of tartar helps in arresting further deterioration of the supporting structures and helps recovery. Hence, it is important that you get your teeth professionally cleaned once every six months.
