Routine dental scaling

[mtbc]

My teeth still feel uncomfortable so I thought that I would bolster my resolve by reading about how important it is to have one's teeth scaled and whatever else it is that the hygienist does. I found an evidence summary published by the British Dental Association last year whose key finding is,

No conclusions on the beneficial or adverse effects of routine scaling and polishing for periodontal health can be reached.

I am thus rethinking my previous course of spending money and time on having them make my teeth hurt.
