Can a deep cleaning at dentist cause bruising in cheek? i have a bruise but not sure why. it came up after a deep cleaning at dentist?

Unless your cheek was retracted in such a way as to cause trauma, there should be no bruising. There is most likely a different cause.

Possibly. Deep cleaning is a surgical procedure. Check back in with your Dentist.
