If you haven't had your teeth cleaned in a long time or have had a lot of problems with your teeth, you may have to get a procedure called scaling and root planing, which involves cleaning the root surfaces of your teeth, which is more expensive than a routine visit.
The key background to this question is the nature of sound waves and light waves. Youâre right in that sound waves are a vibration traveling through an object, including condensed things like solids and liquids. In solids, those waves can consist of either alternating compressed and stretched regions, or regions wiggling sideways, compared to the direction the wave is traveling.
Waves that you see and make in water are mechanical waves, as are sound. waves. Both require stuff or a medium to travel through. The sound waves that. you hear when someone speaks push air that hits your eardrum. The. compressions of the wave cause a vibration on. your eardrum, which you translate into sound.
