Can dental cleaning damage teeth?

If you’re concerned about dental cleanings damaging your teeth, it’s important to know that they are safe and effective if you follow your dentist’s instructions for care afterwards. In this article, we’ll look at some of the ways that a cleaning can damage your teeth or gums and what you can do to prevent problems.

The hygienist may need to file down any rough edges on the tooth’s surface.

The hygienist may need to file down any rough edges on the tooth’s surface. This is a common procedure, and it’s done for your safety. The hygienist needs to ensure that all of your teeth are smooth and free from rough spots or sharp angles where bacteria could build up and cause damage to the enamel.

You can avoid having this problem by flossing regularly and visiting the dentist for regular checkups. If you do notice any rough spots appearing on your teeth during a cleaning, let us know so we can address them right away!

The hygienist will examine your teeth and gums, looking for signs of gum disease or cavities.

The hygienist will examine your teeth and gums, looking for signs of gum disease or cavities. They may also use a tool called an oral cancer screening device (OCSD) to check for signs of oral cancer.

If the hygienist finds any problems with your teeth or gums, they will give advice on how to prevent them from getting worse.

It can also change tooth color.

Dental cleaning can also change the color of your teeth. Teeth can become darker or lighter, more yellow or less yellow, more translucent or more opaque and even more brittle or flexible. If you have particularly sensitive gums, a deep cleaning may make your mouth feel like it’s on fire!

An infection can also cause pain, swelling, and fever.

If an infection is left untreated, it can lead to other serious health problems. Inflammation of the gum tissue and bone around teeth (periodontal disease) can cause tooth loss if not treated, but it’s also linked to heart disease and stroke.

An infection in your mouth may spread even if you don’t have any symptoms. An abscess is a pus-filled mass that forms when bacteria infect soft tissue inside or around your teeth or gums; it hurts when you bite down on something hard like bread crusts or nuts because there’s pressure on those areas from swollen tissues surrounding them. If an abscess doesn’t heal after two weeks with antibiotics, surgery might be necessary to drain out all that nasty stuff inside before it spreads further into other parts of your body via bloodstreams called sinuses–which means more pain!

Osteomyelitis (bone infections) are another common dental problem associated with poor oral hygiene: microscopic organisms enter into tiny cracks in teeth or fillings where they thrive without competition from beneficial bacterial strains naturally present inside mouths; these pathogens then travel through blood vessels until reaching bone marrow where they multiply rapidly without needing oxygen since there are no red blood cells nearby providing oxygenated hemoglobin molecules needed for survival purposes.”

Dental cleanings are safe and effective if you follow your dentist’s instructions for care afterwards.

After a dental cleaning, your dentist will give you instructions for the care of your teeth. These may include:

• Brushing and flossing regularly. A regular routine of brushing and flossing can help prevent gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. You should brush at least twice daily using fluoride toothpaste that has been approved by the American Dental Association (ADA). Floss once per day to remove food particles from between teeth and under gums where a toothbrush cannot reach them

If you’re worried about undergoing a dental cleaning, don’t be! It’s a safe and effective way to keep your teeth healthy. Just follow your dentist’s instructions for care afterward and you’ll be good to go.
