Is it safe to get ones teeth cleaned?

I hope it is not harmful for the teeth in the long run

Is it safe to get ones teeth cleaned?
In my experience, I have never had a problem with getting my teeth cleaned by a dentist. Have you ever had your teeth cleaned (by a dentist)? He or she usually starts by scraping off the tartar (I personally find this somewhat unpleasant, but it is a necessary step.) Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body. The only danger that I see is the possibility of the dentist accidentally hitting a cavity with the scraping instrument (OUCH!), but it has never happened to me.





Next, the dentist will use a rotating brush with a polishing toothpaste (Piece of cake!)





Therefore, I feel that it IS safe to get one's teeth cleaned.
Reply:It's not harmful, it cleans the stuff you (and I) miss when we brush.
Reply:Of course it's safe. In fact, if you want to keep your teeth, a professional cleaning is a must. You simply can't keep them clean enough without at least an annual cleaning. And now they want to see you every six months.
Reply:of course it is. im in dentistry school. and you have plaque and different virus that can mess up your teeth and mouth. u never know whats wrong with your teeth until u see a dentist. u don't want dentures do u?
Reply:Absolutely! And its vital to have your teeth professionally cleaned every 6-9 months to remove any calculus/tartar (hardened plaque) build-up on your teeth which you cant remove with brushing. Plus they give you a check-up and ensure your mouth is healthy.
Reply:If it wasn't safe do you think it would be legal? Be real! I guess the more obvious question would be, go ahead and try it without and see how long your teeth last.
Reply:definitely.
Reply:yes it does not hurt one bit unless you have an infection.
