Dr. Simon Rosenberg's Highly Qualified Dental Hygienist Elina, Uses the Latest Technology

A cleaning only hurts if your oral hygiene home care sucks. People that wince from a cleaning are wimps.

Luxtar, There can be many reasons why a dental cleaning might hurt. If there is recession of the gums and the sensitive roots are exposed, the pain can be unbearable. Deep cavities can hurt while the teeth are being cleaned. If anyone has pain during a cleaning they should stop the hygienist or dentist and discuss the pain and discomfort and a solution is almost always a simple matter and nearly 100% effective.

i went to the dentist today and was told I'm going to need a cleaning. The doctor told me that depending on my pain threshold the cavitron isn't that painful. I wonder if this is true. I remember as a kid screaming from the pain of a tooth cleaning. Hopefully the device used back then wasn't the cavitron.

There are a number of techniques and both hand instruments, sonic scalers, ultrasonic scalers, prophy jets and other air-water-bicarbonate slurry cleaning instruments, as well as the traditional rubber prophy cut with pumice or other cleaning agents. Things are a lot different that years ago. Let us all know how the cleaning went.

I can tell you that she is not reading from Cue cards, but speaking from the heart unrehearsed. English is her second-language and I hope you will understand her spontaneous comments that she shared with potential patients who are looking to choose a new dentist.
