Why do we feel tooth sensitivity after scaling and what are the bad effects of scaling?

Dear Lybrate user, tooth sensitivity doesn't generally happen after every scaling. If your gums are very inflamed or there's a lot of plaque build up, in order to give you a good treatment, your dentist has to go deep inside the gums to clean them This may cause tooth sensitivity. Otherwise scaling has NO SIDE EFFECTS at all. Don't follow any myths or misleading advice. It's very essential to get regular cleaning done at least twice a year.
