Scaling makes your teeth clean and not white. It is harmless if done by professional and ideally should be done every 6 months.

Professional scaling is the only best method to be done every alternate year but make sure that your dentist has a good quality scaling machine.

No natural remedy can replace professional scaling at present. Your feeling of tooth degradation is only fear based or somehow in past bad experience based. Visit a reputed dentist in your area. A periodontist (MDS) is an expert in this field. Apart from this, a professional scaling and polishing enhances 5 times the life of a natural tooth. So there is nothing to fear about it.

Plaque, Tartar, and calculus has to be removed from your tooth surface physically, meanwhile you can't use clean cotton and rub across all surfaces of the tooth. You will feel better.

Nothing is harmful in scaling. Its just a ultrasonic water jet.

Daily tooth cleaning includes- tooth brushing, flossing, tongue scraping ,use of mouthwash.
Professional cleaning is advised once in every 6 months, & it is a pure myth that tooth degrades after scaling.
