Excessive shedding of scales on the scalp is called as dandruff. Normally dry scales are commonly seen. Dandruff is a generalised term but under this heading there are many other disorders. It can be psoriasis, dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis amentecia etc. It is important to oil the scalp 3/week and wash it daily with mild scalp cleanser. If dandruff settles with this then don't worry, if not then consult trichologist.
