[ANSWER] Does scaling teeth whiten teeth?

Dentists recommend that we periodically go to the dentist to have our teeth scaled to remove plaque and conditions for bacteria to grow. Plaque on teeth not only stains teeth, but if it accumulates for a long time, it becomes an ideal place for bacteria to grow and cause disease. Therefore, shaving off this layer causes many people to mistakenly make their teeth whiter and brighter. So does scaling whiten teeth, let’s answer in detail with My Auris in the following article. 

What is tooth scaling?

Tooth scaling is a method of removing plaque, food residue and bacteria that has stuck on the surface of teeth and between teeth for a long time. The tartar layer hardens over time and cannot be cleaned using normal tooth brushing methods at home. 

Thanks to today’s modern technology, the specially designed tooth scaling tool combines the vibration of ultrasonic waves to penetrate deep into the teeth, gently removing the tartar from between the teeth, the inner and outer surfaces of the teeth, the area under the gums, and the neck of the teeth quickly and safely without causing pain or discomfort.
