What causes noticable gap left between teeth after cleaning?-Dr. Sowmya Vijapure

Cleaning or scaling is a simple and painless dental procedure. In this procedure we use ultrasonic vibrating motors to remove the deposits of calculus and plaque from the tooth surface. Once the calculus starts forming, it pushes the gum tissues away from the tooth surface and this calculus starts forming in between and neck of the tooth like a collar and since calculus is removed at this stage, it is felt as a gap. This place was earlier occupied by the gum and a healthy bone tissue. So it is very important to get a cleaning done every 6 months so that this destruction of tissues is not much.
