Is it needed for a little beyond normal teeth cleaning?

Can depend on your age...the older you get, the smaller the pulpal cavity inside the tooth is and therefore, the less sensitive the tooth is...when younger, scaling was painful to me and now it's like no big deal.

I have extreme sensitivity and do not need anesthesia. Takes me 4 shots to get numb though. Sure wish would have had anesthesia for scaling about 10 years ago. The procedure would have gone a lot better. Now I brush and floss a lot more though because don't ever want to endure that again.

Anesthesia is not usually needed for a normal cleaning. If you are really nervous, you might try gas. That will relax you. If you need to have your teeth scaled, then yes, sometimes anesthesia is used.

For a normal cleaning, it isn't needed.
I usually have a bit of scaling done and I don't need it then either. It is a bit uncomfortable, but nothing major.

maybe if it is a deep cleansing they will use a special rinse but not anesthetic injection

No. I even have the drilling done without. Makes the dentist more careful.
