Can tooth polishing whiten teeth?

Teeth polishing can usually whiten teeth.

Teeth polishing can effectively remove some exogenous pigmentation on the tooth surface, such as food residue, soft dirt, smoke stains, tea stains, etc., through the friction of polishing equipment on the tooth surface, so that these attachments are removed, thus making teeth look cleaner and whiter to a certain extent. However, tooth polishing can not change the inherent color of teeth itself. If the tooth itself is darker due to tetracycline teeth, dental fluorosis, etc., polishing cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Teeth polishing should be operated by a professional dentist, improper polishing may cause damage to the tooth surface. At the same time, in order to maintain teeth whitening and health, daily oral care such as correct brushing, flossing, etc. is also very important.
