Topic starter
I often experience sharp pain and discomfort in my teeth whenever I get them cleaned. Even gentle brushing at home sometimes triggers sensitivity and I worry that a professional cleaning will make it worse. I want to know how dentists manage sensitive teeth during the procedure so it doesn’t become too painful.

At Ashford Dental Centre, dentists carefully assess the level of your tooth sensitivity before starting the cleaning. They may use special desensitizing gels or toothpaste and apply a gentler, low-pressure cleaning technique to avoid discomfort. In some cases, they may focus on treating the most sensitive areas first or provide a topical anesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the session.
