Improperly scaling of teeth at home can cause damage to the structure of the teeth themselves which could be worse than the plaque. BTW, feeding deer antler is a sure fire way to crack teeth. Between the antler and the home scaling, you might end up with more problems than just a little plaque. And anyway, you cannot get below the gum line with an ultrsonic scaler like a vet can when the dog is anesthetized. Everyone is always afraid of putting their dog out but it's the best thing you can do for a proper dental and the safety of your dog.
