Nice to you that all are welcomed to this forum... i am glad to be in this forum as a member... i would like to share something abt Scaling:

Scaling is the process by which plaque and other deposits are removed from the tooth surface, both above and below the gum margin. The primary aim of scaling is to restore the gingival health by completely removing from the tooth surface elements that provoke inflammation and further destruction of the gum. Scaling is normally done without any anesthesia but if there is pain or discomfort local anesthesia can be applied over the area of proposed treatment.
