Tooth polishing is a dental technique that can whiten and smooth your teeth. It is frequently performed following a dental cleaning to eliminate stains and plaque from the surface of your teeth. Tooth polishing can be done with a variety of tools, including rotary brushes, air polishers, and polishing strips. Your dentist or hygienist will polish your teeth with an abrasive paste or powder to achieve a shiny surface.

Tooth polishing is normally painless and tolerated well, however it may not be appropriate for everyone. Tooth polishing can potentially remove some enamel, your teeth’s protective coating. As a result, it should be done sparingly and seldom. Polishing your teeth can improve both your smile and your oral health.
