At-home teeth scaling?
Posted on September 8, 2010
I would like to get rid of plaque and tartar build up around my gum lines in between dentist visits. I have seen some tooth scaling and pick tools at the store and I'm wondering if they are worth trying or if I should just get my dentist to do it. The instructions on the box are lacking and I haven't been able to find much information on doing it yourself. Can you go below the gum line with these at home tools?
Thanks!

HELLO.
ever hear the Latin phrase, CAVEAT EMPTOR?
It means "let the buyer beware."
Tools used by the dentist/hygienist are much sharper and they have the knowledge of their use.
The best way to keep tartar/plaque from forming is by flossing daily, especially after a dentist’s cleaning.
