Always remember
scaling and polishing will never create gaps in the teeth.
Scaling and polishing will never cut the gums.
There is a reason why
1. The instrument that is used to do scaling is a vibrating machine, it vibrates at 120000 rpm i.e speed and some even more. So a vibrating instrument will only vibrate the calculus which you call tartar, and thus the calculus get removed.
2. The instrument that is used to do scaling has no cutting surface, so in no way it can cut gum...more

Hey there, if the white lesions are present in the region of the crowns you got, then it can be due to friction of the crown with the cheek mucosa. Treatment will include removal of tye crowns only if the white lesions cause any pain, peel off or get red patches.
No treatment required at the moment.
It would be great if you send photos of cheek and crowns.
For any further query, kindly use my doctor code gm2c5d.

Hey there, thw white patches have appeared because of the fixed prosthesis. Either it is reaction to the crown material or it is due to constant friction between the prosthesis and your cheek.
This is normal unless it causes pain or discomfort.
The patches will go only after prosthesis removal which is not advisable.
* apply vaseline/glycerine over the local area to keep the region moist.
* apply turmeric paste with glycerine locally over the lesions (massage do not rub)
