Question: i just got my teeth cleaned 2 days ago now my teeth feel sensitive and i have holes between my teeth where my gums use to cover what is wrong why does it hurt so much. also i had tartar build up on one tooth a they didnt get rid of all of it cause when i feel with my tongue near the gums it is smooth then in the middle it is rough and then smooth on the top. they also didnt clean the tartar on the side of my molar on the back corner near my gums. and i now they could of removed it because i had a stain just like that, that was on the front corner on the same molar.

Sensitivity after cleaning is normal if you have a lot of material to remove. I find that my hygienist tends to remove the gumline tartar and sometimes misses stains. If there is a lot of work in your mouth, they have to prioritize, so they have time for the other patients. A hygienist is a scarce resource in a dental office, and must be used wisely.
Was it a while since your last cleaning? I once went about 5 years between cleanings because I was in college and poor. When I went back, they scheduled me 2 visits to get my teeth nice and clean but also to allow my gums to heal between visits.
Mine can be sore a day after the cleaning. Depends on who does it. I think some get in there and clean better than others.
