Ultrasonic teeth cleaning typically does not cause pain; however, a small number of patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity. The procedure is relatively quick but should be performed by an experienced dentist at a reputable medical facility. Ultrasonic cleaning removes dental calculus through physical vibration and simultaneously eliminates dental plaque along the gumline. Patients should ensure adequate rest in daily life.
