Is it safe to get ones teeth cleaned?


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

Answers:
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.
It's not harmful, it cleans the stuff you (and I) miss when we brush.
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.
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?
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.
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.
definitely.
No it is not harmful
yes it does not hurt one bit unless you have an infection.
