Whats the procedure and does it hurt?

Question

what does ultrasonic cleaning do an does it hurt? i heard they stick something underneath your gum OUCH and i heard it takes an hour thats along time to be in pain

Answer 1

Many times if it hurts let the hygienist know and you can be anesthetized so you feel no pain.  The ultrasonic cleaner makes the job of the hygienist easier so it can be more comfortable for you.

Answer 2

it depends on the depth where the calculus is present. The more deeper, it will hurt because of subgingival scaling.

Answer 3

if your talking about a root and scaling procedure which sounds like it i had one a month ago and was terrified but it didn't hurt at all. it just sounds painful.
