Hi... Cleaning of teeth technically called as scaling is a painless procedure. It will improve your gums health, prevent bleeding and bad breath. However there will be some sensitivity and bleeding of gums while doing the procedure which is normal. To make this treatment more comfortable you can ask your dentist to spray some anesthesia which is easily available with every dentist.

No not at all but you can feel slight pain as mouth is very sensitive so don't worry and get your scaling done as when there is no pain there is no gain
