I can relate to painful cleanings. Been going to the same dentist for about 10 yrs here in TV and I also see a periodontist in Ocala. Always experienced uncomfortable cleanings form a particular hygienist. For a few days after the cleaning my gums would be inflamed and sore. Did many warm water/salt rinses which was soothing. Never at my periodonist office would my cleanings be painful. ( I alternate between the 2 offices) It was mentioned to me that some hygenists are " heavy handed" and we as patients have every right to bring it to their attention and or request another hygienist.
