Scaling and in fact polishing is a primary preventive measure to remove and limit the progress of deposits like calculus and plaque present on the surface of the teeth. Not at all harmful to the teeth. Just mild vibrations that remove the adherent layer on tooth surface. Getting your teeth professionally cleaned every 3 months or at least half yearly is a must.
Next Steps
Visiting a dentist will surely help and guide you better
Health Tips
You might feel sensitivity after the scaling procedure for few days. Until then you can use anti sensitivity toothpastes available in the market.

Scaling and polishing is a procedure that removes dental plaque, tartar and extrinsic stains that are present on the outer surface of the teeth. Scaling and polishing cleans your teeth, preventing and controlling the severity of gum diseases. After scaling & polishing, teeth can appear lighter if there are many stains on the outer surface of the teeth. If the intrinsic colour of teeth is very yellow, there will be no changes after teeth cleaning as the yellow colour comes from inside the tooth. Max 2 sittings are required and Cost starts from 1000 onwards.

Hello Sir
Greetings of the day. Scaling will remove the plaque and calculus adhered to your teeth. Scaling will help you maintain your oral hygiene which is only possible if you stop smoking. 2-3 sittings are required depending upon the stains. Scaling should be done at least once in 6 months.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
First let a dentist have a look at your teeth.
After seeing only we will be able to tell what is required, how much is required.
Don't you think?
Consult a dentist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
