I want to dentist clean the teeth. But unlike other dentists, I felt
this dentist polish
my teeth very hard. (Maybe it is called polish. The last step for
cleaning teeth with
some toothpaste like stuff).

If I want to another dentist, can he check with it is badly hurt my
enamel?

Victor, If your teeth started being sensitive "after" the cleaning you
did, you'd better let a dentist have a look at your teeth.

As I know, Polishing with standardized pastes and brushes does not
damage the enamel

I have some tiny crack lines on each of tooth, after this abrasion,
the crack lines are all gone. Does this hurt my teeth a lot? Because I
guess he must abraded a lot of enamel to remove this lines, which is
not what I was expecting. I just care about the enamel loss but not
cosmetic things.

The sensitivity could be normall reaction after scaling or polishing

of course the rotation speed, abresive materials or using not apt brushes or
rubber points could increase temperature and make longer lasting problem.

Shortly even making polishing unproperly is possible to make problems..
