Can you scale your own teeth?

I am a 24 year old male. I want to know if you can scale your own teeth?

No, you cannot scale your own teeth. In fact, it is actually very dangerous for you to scale your own teeth. You can cause lacerations and potentially spread a bacterial infection throughout the mouth, as well you will make it more difficult for your dental hygienist because you do not have the proper technique to remove the tartar.
