Depends on who does the scaling. Many people will tell you horror stories while others will say it is nothing. Make sure a licensed hygienist does it or a dentist to avoid horror cases. It is normally done at all cleanings, but if it has been a while since you had a cleaning you may need a deeper cleaning. If there is lots of buildup on your teeth, it can cause gum soreness. If your gums are very sore they may want to numb you to avoid this. Usually, it is no big deal. It is where they use little picky instruments to pick buildup off your teeth that causes bone loss/ gum disease.
No it is not painful
I get a scale and polish each time I visit the dentist.
Its basically just scraping any plaque off the surface of your teeth to clean them up. The actual scraping doesn't hurt, but sometimes the metal tool can jag you a bit around the gumline, which is a bit uncomfortable. But just think of your nice sparkling teeth afterwards!
I have it done regularly. It is not painful at all.
Just think of 'fish's scales' bud, ya know how difficult it is 2 clean them don't ya hey?......
i have this done every time i go to the dentist, it wont hurt at all. it's removing all the built up plaque on your teeth.
This is not a usually painful experience. I get a scale every three or six months. Because I have sensitive teeth it is a little uncomfortable although I don't experience 'jump out the chair' pain. Also it doesn't take very long to complete the treatment. Only fifteen minutes or so, depending on the amount of calculus you've accumulated. At the end though it will all feel worth it and you'll wish you could have your teeth cleaned like that every day.
