Why do some dentists hurt during cleanings more than others?
Sounds like your home care is NOT good...some recession is normal with age and THEN the root surface of the tooth is exposed. The root surface has nerve endings present ON the surface and thorough cleaning CAN stimulate them. The bleeding indicates poor (tsk tsk) home care OR some underlying health issue (NOT likely). Get the deep cleaning done, start better home care, use Sensodyne for the sensitive root surface and see the hygienist or dentist more frequently. READ MORE
