Yes, scaling you do before or later does not matter.
Important question is, what is causing you problem more than the other if you have pain, sensitivity, swelling, unbearable pain, so obvious you will want to get rid of that first. But if you feel you want to get rid of deposits first because you are having bleeding, you not liking the deposit, bad breath, etc. And that is more than the pain from tooth then definitely scaling.

Hello,
if those black dots are not deep, and if dentist probe do not get stick in it, till that time you should not worry, but if it does, then you must get them filled if you are talking about black dots on the back teeth top surface. These black dot could be stains as well, but to know better your dentist will move the probe in that surface and if it catches then its a cavity which you need to get it filled and if does not then its a stain which you need not to worry.

with Proper Oral hygiene maintenance you can correct the Pyorrhea.
First of all start brushing at night the food you eat or if you drink milk, soda before going to bed and you do not brush, its welcoming cavity, plaque, in your mouth and as time pass by you will fill loose gums, lot of cavity, bleeding gums, bad breadth and much more.
Also do you floss? If not then start to floss, its difficult initially but it is going to save you from lot of cavities and gum disease.

For cavity problems, the toothpaste you mentioned will not reduce the risk of cavity problems
for not decaying if you have acute carious activity in your mouth. For that
1. If you do not have fluorosis then
3m clinpro 5000 1.1% toothpaste (its expensive than the other toothpaste available in the market)
or enafix toothpaste.
Reduces risk for cavity and make enamel strong
also
1. Correct brushing technique
2. Flossing daily
3. Use of mouthwash like chlorhexidin...more

Hiii. Good morning. May be the stains will be extrinsic and discolorations seen. Do scaling once and follow up a scaling after three months to maintain the oral hygiene. After that you can do scaling once a year or six months once. I advice flossing and interdental brushing after scaling. Thank you.

Always remember
scaling and polishing will never create gaps in the teeth.
Scaling and polishing will never cut the gums.
There is a reason why
1. The instrument that is used to do scaling is a vibrating machine, it vibrates at 120000 rpm i.e speed and some even more. So a vibrating instrument will only vibrate the calculus which you call tartar, and thus the calculus get removed.
2. The instrument that is used to do scaling has no cutting surface, so in no way it can cut gum...more

Plaque is not removed regularly by tooth brushing and flossing, it hardens to create calculus (also known as tartar). Calculus cannot be removed with a toothbrush; only a dental professional can remove it during an oral cleaning.
There are certain mineral combos those are used for cleaning teeth effectively but can not clean to the extent of removing thick tartar or stone.

hello lybrate user...
I advice you to take gradually reduce the pan masala and tobacco..
I Suggest you to do scaling..
then brush twice a day..
use dental floss.
use mouth wash..
after scaling, the calculus and mild stains will be removed..
if the stains wasn't removed means, bleaching has to be done..
the sensitivity will go after scaling..
regarding tooth paste, you can use sensodent... or other related tooth pastes..
