Generally most dogs will need oral exams, cleanings, and dental X-rays about once a year, starting at about 6 months of age.
that's how Dental scaling should be performed
and that's why we should perform it for pets with unhealthy teeth.
quoting from * the whole Dog Journal website * :
Plaque and tartar accumulate on canine teeth just like ours. Plaque is made of proteins from saliva, which interact with bacteria. If left to accumulate on teeth, bacteria quickly multiply and can invade the gums around the teeth, causing inflammation known as gingivitis.
If plaque is not removed, inflammation of the gums can spread to the bone around the teeth, leading in turn to bone loss or periodontal disease. Without adequate bony support, teeth may become loose, or even fall out.
Says Dr. Frank Verstraete,“Periodontal disease may cause bacteria and toxins to enter the bloodstream with potentially negative effects on internal organs" .
” Veterinarians often find that chronically ill dogs quickly improve after professional dental cleaning and resolution of oral infections.
