The method of dental scaling of the invention uses a scaler and reservoir system, comprising: a scaler handpiece having a scaling tip, a scaler housing enclosing a scaler valve, a compressor housing enclosing a reservoir valve and a compressor, a reservoir housing having an inner chamber, the scaler housing is supported by the reservoir housing, and the compressor housing is supported by and connected to the scaler housing and the reservoir housing, the scaler handpiece is connected to the scaler housing, vibrates the tip, and scales a tooth in a patient'smooth by positioning the scaling tip adjacent to the tooth. Preferably the dental scaler and reservoir system, comprising: a scaler housing, a scaler valve, a compressor housing, a reservoir valve, a compressor, a reservoir housing having an inner chamber, a handpiece housing having a handpiece valve and a vibrational member. The scaler housing is supported by the reservoir housing. The compressor is connected to compressor conduit. The compressor conduit is connected to the inner chamber of the reservoir housing thereby providing fluid flow communication between the compressor and the inner chamber of the reservoir housing. The inner chamber of the reservoir housing is connected to reservoir conduit. The reservoir conduit is connected to the reservoir valve thereby providing in fluid flow communication between the inner chamber and the reservoir valve. The reservoir valve is connected to handpiece conduit The handpiece conduit is connected to the handpiece valve thereby providing fluid flow communication between the reservoir valve and the handpiece valve.
