Polishing Pastes for Teeth

This method uses tooth polishing pastes are called prophy pastes (prophylaxis), which refers to the preventive, disease-preventing effects of tooth cleaning and polishing. Depending on the amount of polishing needed your dental  hygienists can choose between fine, medium, and coarse grit pastes to fill the rubber cup that delivers the paste to the tooth surface. Coarse and medium pastes are most effective at removing surface stains. However, they can also microscopically scratch and roughen the tooth enamel, making it easier to develop stains later. Fine pastes are less damaging and create a more highly polished finish, but sometimes can be less effective at removing deeply embedded stains.

Air Polishing for Teeth

Air polishing is another popular technique used by top cosmetic dentists in India to for teeth polishing. . Air polishing uses a jet of air, water, and an abrasive agent to remove stains, which is just as effective as polishing with a rubber cup and prophy. The upside of air polishing is that it is generally less harsh on tooth enamel. Sodium bicarbonate is often used as the abrasive agent in air polishing, but glycine (a naturally-occurring amino acid) is less abrasive and just as effective.

Baking soda and silica in toothpaste have a similar effect and you are not really gaining anything from using them on a long run. Keep in mind that the enamel never comes back, so trying to do something yourself can lead to abrasion of the enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and even irreparable tooth decay.
