Teeth cleaning which is called scaling and polishing is a completely harmless and painless experience.
The equipment used is ultrasonics, which however has no effect on the surface of the tooth.. Because of its vibration the plaque gets removed and nothing else..
Our tooth surface is too hard for such things..
Next Steps
Scaling and polishing should be done twice a year
Health Tips
Loosing of teeth or teeth getting thin post scaling is just a myth.. The reality is its making the gums stronger

What makes you go for cleaning?
Its pretty safe procedure
If its just stains, its gonna be mo issue at all
But you have calculus deposition, it might be sensitive and shaky bit for first few days
That will settle gradually
