Scale and polish

Good Morning

I have been to the dentist they said a scale and polish may be an idea. I feel it would change me as I have got so used to tea stains . Plus the fact has anyone had a positive or negative experience or scale and polish ? Is there any tooth past or anything like that may help ?

Do you think if I went for a scale and polish pepole would look at me differently as my teeth would look different and stare ?

Any thoughts always grateful for . Thank you

Why would they stare at you unless it's with envy? Most people won't even notice anyway as I am sure they have more on their minds than your teeth!

I have mine done so go for it. x

Hello Hypercat

What is it like the treatment is it painful and how long does both lots of teeth take I.e bottom and top teeth?. Best wishes

Well most people don't find it painful just a bit uncomfortable. They use water as well as the tools but I have sensitive teeth and it hurts me. They can use just the tool to scrape away which I can do.

How long it takes depends on the state of your teeth but shouldn't take longer than around 10 minutes or so. x
