Regular dental cleanings rarely result in sensitivity. However, if you’ve not had your teeth cleaned in a while, you may have a different experience. When teeth are exposed to heat and cold after being cleaned of calculus and plaque, they may feel more sensitive. People who already have sensitive teeth or who have a lot of deposits on their teeth may also experience discomfort for a couple of days. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize sensitivity. Our dental hygienists will advise you on the aftercare.
