      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\tYour teeth should not hurt after a deep cleaning. A very few people may experience some sensitivity or tenderness afterwards but that should go away after a day or two. This mainly depends on what gum disease is occurring and how severe it is. If you are experiencing pain after a deep cleaning it is recommended that you call your dental hygienist who can offer the best advice for you personally.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\tIf not done correctly and carefully then yes. With the right equipment and skills a scale and polish from a dental hygienist will not damage your teeth or gums. If the cleaning is not done with care and precision then the enamel and cementum of the teeth can be scratched and in some cases chipped away. \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\tIt may be a simple fix of seeing us for a scale and polish to have the plaque, tartar, and stains on the outside of your teeth removed or it\u2019s possible that your teeth will need whitening with a bleaching product to restore their whiteness.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\tIf you are experiencing halitosis or bad breath you could have a number of different conditions. Most commonly you will likely have plaque, tartar, and bacteria building up in the mouth causing gum disease. Then by-products of the bacteria and gum disease cause bad breath. Alternatively it could be a symptom of other health issues happening further down the digestive tract, or of lesions in the mouth. \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>
