Teeth polishing is a procedure to remove stains and smooth over tooth surfaces, making them shinier and more lustrous. It leaves teeth looking whiter, clearing up exogenous stains—that is, those caused by poor dental habits and hygiene.
Dentists or dental hygienists use rotary brushes, air polishers, or polishing strips—often alongside abrasive pastes—to polish the surfaces of the teeth. Often, teeth polishing accompanies other dental cleaning methods, such as scaling (the use of hand tools) and debridement (using a special electric device) to remove tartar and plaque.
Teeth polishing refers to a set of dental procedures aimed at enhancing the color and shininess of your teeth.
