I just need special care for cleanings. Are there no dentists that will administer special pain care for cleanings? The main clinic here hung up on me when I inquired.

I am sorry they hung up on you. Have you considered that it was a problem with the phone?
In any case, it a receptionist who hung up, not a dentist or hygienist . Maybe she was having a bad day....ex. pms or a problem with an ex or was late for work because of traffic etc etc etc
Dentists are not stupid. They have lots of patients and should realize that some require different care.
I would call them back, or drop in. (maybe even with your file and x-rays)
I really hope you are able to get the necessary dental care.
