No. sensitivity occurs because usually before scaling teeth are covered with a layer of deposits( which are harmful foe the gums and contain loads of bacteria). these deposits are called calculus and they cause gum and bone recession. when removed it exposes the part of your tooth which is sensitive. but this sensitivity goes away in 7 to 14 days with use of tooth paste like sensodyne and a mouthwash.
Scalling and polishing when indicated is not bad for teeth . Provided you do it at a good standard dental clinic and after wards take care of your teeth . Your dentist should teach you how to take care of your teeth at home .

A proper technique n expert hand will do very little damage. Sensitivity for 24 hours after scaling is not a problem case to case is important
if scaling is done properly then their will be no side effects

It depends on ur teeth condition. if there is heavy plaque then u will have sensitivity for some days. if that occurs use sensodye rapid action. leave it for a minute and then brush ur teeth. it will settle after somedays. there are no more side effects.

Sometimes yes, but the sensitivity is just for temporary basis,
You can use sensodyne pro-releif to reduce sensitivity.
Dental scaling is a common procedure and generally safe procedure and does not cause any significant side effects.

No side effects are there. You will just feel little bit of sensitivity for a week or 2, and then it will be gone. To get relief, you can do warm saline rinses thrice daily for a week.

There are no such side effects of scaling and polishing, but for few days you can feel sensitivity overall. That's why it's recommended not to eat so hot and so cold things after scaling and polishing.
Teeth sensitivity last for not more then 5-6 days.. its normal after scaling.. will be fine in a week.. use mothwash and toothpaste for sensitivity
Dr. Minahil Zahra - Dentist

No. There are no side effects of scaling and polishing. The sensitivity you feel after a scaling is completely normal and will subside within a few days.
No, There is no side effects of scaling .. and also such treatment depends upon the severity of the case
After scaling and root planing is completed, you may experience slight discomfort around the teeth for several days and increased sensitivity to hot and cold (and sometimes sweets) for up to four to six weeks duration. This is a normal course of healing
sensitivity after scaling is a temporary phase its remains only for 3 to 5 days maximum. scaling doesn't weakens teeth or make teeth sensitive. scaling is recommended every 6 months for every one to maintain a good oral hygiene.

No there are no side effects of scaling and polishing, instead 6 monthly scaling and polishing is super important for gum and teeth health
no..there are no side effects of scaling and polishing..its just a myth..
Nope, no side effects of scaling. It is recommended to get scaling done every 6 months or atleast once a year for better oral health.
Not at all.

it isn't a side effect as such and is very much temporary should only last for 15 days maximum if it still persists there is another cause and you should visit a qualified dentist
in scaling deposits on teeth near gum line are removed and polishing make teeth smoother. no side effects like sensitivity etc.
No it won't get sensitive. Scaling is recommended after every six months if needed.
