Does frequent scaling and polishing cause teeth to wear down?

Asked By:aestheticdude in Los Angeles, CA

Hi, can I ask if frequent scaling and polishing (4-5 times a year) to remove tobacco stains cause your teeth to wear down? I wear my nightguard and retainers but I still feel as if there are mini gaps forming after frequent scaling and polishing sessions. Please advise.
