I have done a little scaling myself, but I do understand the concerns about possible injury to the gums or teeth if the dog moves suddenly, Also, scaling below the gumline where most of the bacteria is cannot be done while the dog is awake. Then the teeth should be polished after scaling to protect the enamel.
