I just started with a new dentist and had a slightly painful teeth cleaning experience. It was not extremely painful but it was uncomfortable and now my gums are a tad swollen.

Yeah, discomfort, swelling, even a little bit of bleeding are to be expected. Tartar is below the gumline and they have to get to it. If you think they're being inhumane you have the right to end the cleaning at once.

It depends on a few different factors. Yes, some hygientists have a tad bit of a heavy hand (hygients dont hate me for that comment) but they are suppose to get all the tartar off the teeth. Perhaps that you had a few areas of concern and they had to go a bit deeper in those areas.

Yeah, your probably ok, he probably did a little deeper cleaning on you than normal. You might of had alot of tartar built up, how long has it been since your last cleaning? If it has been a while you probably had a little excess tartar possibly slightly under the gums. As for the swelling, gargle with some luke warm salt water and listerine is good too. It should go away soon.

It depends on the dentist. I had to change dentists because the first one was just wrestling with my jaw during a cleaning. My current one doesn't cause strain in my mouth. I suggest you change.

Some people are just more sensitve than others and some dentists are just not as gentle as others.

yes, that's the way it's supposed to be. It depends on how much tartar you had.
