I was expecting a spa treatment

Why?! It's dentistry, not a massage.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I've never found it painful, but it's not enjoyable and I don't really understand why anyone would think it was meant to be. It's just a mildly tiresome necessity.

Relaxing!?
Absolutely not. But I will say that the more you've flossed in the previous months, the less painful it will be. And they can use a numbing gel as well.

Agree with previous posters. Hygiene treatments are horrendous, I go every 6 months and have (I was told) excellent dental hygiene and it still fucking hurts.
My DH has to have his mouth numbed up for them.

My sil has her mouth fully numbed before her hygienist appointment or the pain is unbearable.

I’ve never heard anyone say it’s relaxing! All that scraping, I hate it ! I can’t understand why anyone would want to be a hygienist, absolute torture.
My actual dentist is fab, I swear I’ve had root canal treatment and didn’t feel a thing.

Who's said it's relaxing 🤣🤣

No one I’ve ever heard. I go because I feel I should but I absolutely hate it. I like the hygienist, she’s charming, but I loathe the process and spend 45 minutes wriggling my toes to stop me gagging.

It's like bdsm for your mouth no?

I would NEVER describe a hygienist treatment as relaxing!
