Again, could be sensitivity.  Make sure the dentist cleaned ALL the tartar 
away from his teath, especially around where the gums meet his teath.  Then
get him to use a de-sensitising tooth paste regularly, and to floss 
regularly.

I have had a similar problem, and after visits to a few different dentists,
sensitivity was found to be the problem.

I guess the best other advice is to try a different dentist as well !
