Question:
Answers:
You could ask about a cavitron. It is an ultrasonic scaler that sprays out water. It vibrates to remove the tarter. The hygienist will still need to scale a little bit at the end but it would be a lot less. You can also ask for nitrous (laughing gas) or topical solution. If it's the sound you hate, take your i-pod and blast it during the cleaning. Good luck!

Deal with it like everyone else. I hate it too, but it wont kill you, it's just a pain in the @ss.
eat bread and drink liquid pork rines. it helps the pain You'll be just fine. The only thing you can do is just try to relax. It won't hurt. It feels weird to have your teeth scraped, no pain. Don't worry about it. ^_^
My dentist refuses to start any procedure beyond a checkup if I have not taken the xanax he prescribes me beforehand. Ask your dentist about the possibility of sedation. It HELPS. You may have to go an hour early so you can dose but don't have to drive or anything like that.
