The short answer is: It's possible. the tools that are currently used in scaling cannot harm or erode healthy enamel, so that is the good news. That hygienist can scrape away to her heart's content and not make a dent or a scratch in the enamel of a healthy tooth.
Enamel is the most highly mineralized substance in the human body. at 97% mineral, it is barely living tissue. Your bones, for instance are usually only 45-55% mineral....so enamel is REALLY tough. Now if there is decayed or damaged enamel, then it is possible for scaling to gouge into or dent into the damaged area. And where there is exposed root surface (as in gum recession) then it is possibey for scaling to gouge or dent into the cementum (the name for the tissue that covers the root). This is why it is extremely important to have a licensed dentist or licensed dental hygienist scale your teeth, because they have been specially trained how to assess and manage these delicate situations so as not to harm or damage your teeth, and in many cases to actually improve your teeth. And I think most dentist's would agree that hygienists are much better trained and equiped to scale teeth than the average dentist. Hygienists go to school for 3-5 years and 2-3 of those years are spent in an ADA accredited dental hygiene school learning to properly scale teeth. Very little of the dentist's education is spent on learning to scale teeth because they have to learn about so much else: fillings, extractions, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures etc. etc. etc. Luckily, most states in the U.S. mandate that only a dentist or hygienist can scale human teeth, but there are a couple of states that allow lesser trained personnel to scale teeth, I believe Arkansas to be one, and Florida is currently trying to pass a law like this.

what are the Benefits of Teeth Scaling?
Teeth scaling is an important dental procedure that helps in maintaining oral health and preventing gum diseases. It is a great way to effectively remove plaque and tartar build-up in areas that cannot be achieved through brushing and flossing alone. Teeth scaling helps to decrease the risk of gum inflammation thereby helping to prevent conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Teeth scaling also improves the aesthetics of the mouth by eliminating stains which would otherwise be caused by food and drinks and resulting in a brighter smile and fresher breath. Another important benefit of teeth scaling is its effect on your overall health. Since bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and contribute to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, maintaining healthy gums through teeth scaling can help lower the risk of these conditions. Reduced gums sensitivity can also be a positive effect of teeth scaling when the deposits, which may be exposing the root of teeth, are removed allowing for a more comfortable eating experience. These visits which the dentist recommends for teeth scaling can be the best thing you can do for your long-term dental health and general well-being.
