That’s a common myth. But the truth? It doesn’t.
In some cases, heavy calculus (tartar) buildup acts like false support for teeth. When this buildup is removed during professional cleaning, the teeth may feel loose, not because cleaning caused damage, but because the gums and bone underneath were already compromised due to poor oral hygiene.
Regular cleaning actually prevents this from happening.
And don’t worry, dentists always explain your condition before treatment.
So no, cleaning doesn’t loosen healthy teeth,it protects them.
