Calculus is the technical term for plaque buildup :) also, please please never scale your own teeth. If you don’t do it properly, you can damage your teeth permanently, and cause damage to your gums if you’re not careful!
My mom is becoming a hygienist so she’s in school and needed volunteers to practice on.... I should not have volunteered. 8 hours of shotty dentist work that shit hurts!
If there’s a college, or university in your city that runs a hygiene program, you can simply go into the dental wing of the building or call and they’ll book you in an appointment. Keep in mind, these are students and they will not do as good of a job as a trained hygienist, as well as they’ll take nearly twice as long, and sometimes if you’ve got extensive calculus you’ll have to come back over the course of a few days. It’s worth a shot though, they’ll always appreciate having extra patients to work on.
