No, properly done teeth scaling doesn't weaken or damage enamel. What it lifts off is plaque and hardened tartar, the calcified buildup clinging to the tooth and gumline, never the enamel itself, which happens to be the hardest tissue your body makes. Studies that...

Not every ache while eating comes from an obvious cavity. A sore tooth when chewing can just as easily come from receding gums, night-time teeth grinding, a hairline crack, or even sinus pressure sitting above the upper molars, and each of these needs a different fix....
