I have seen Dr. Luk for 3 cleanings and 1 wisdom tooth extraction. The doctor himself seems ok (he performed my extraction and does a quick check after the hygienist has cleaned my teeth).
The hygienists on the other hand are not very good. I take very good care of my teeth. I floss 85% of the time, brush at least twice daily, and have not had a cavity in more than 8 years. During my last visit, I went for the usual 6-month cleaning. Unfortunately, I got a very unskilled hygienist as I was put in a lot of pain when the hygienist flossed my teeth. She pressed extremely hard and deep and did a sawing motion into my gums.
When she finished, all my gums were very sore and hurt. I didn't think much of it and attributed it to the normal amount of soreness that comes after a thorough teeth cleaning; although it did hurt more than normal.
When I woke up the next morning, one area of my gum was extremely swollen. It then got more swollen and started to bleed after I ate breakfast. Luckily, it was not too painful. This has never happened to me before. I ate soft foods for the next few days and went easy on my gums. I was fine in time, but to have to go through that after a cleaning is ridiculous!!!
