Hi,
This is a very common feeling to have after cleaning. This occurs because the hard calculus is removed while cleaning your tooth. sometimes this calculus/ tartar when stuck in between your tooth can result in a gap in the tooth. Simply put, the gap occurred because tartar was covering it. Having tartar is not going to help you and can further affect your gums and teeth
Next Steps
You should visit your dentist and discuss the options for closing the gap. There are multiple treatment options available for this and the dentist has to choose the plan thats best suited for you.
Health Tips
Don't worry about this. Yeah from your perspective it can look a little odd, but this can be corrected

This can happen following cleaning of teeth.
This is common and happens to many individuals who do not go for regular check ups and professional cleaning of teeth.
reason: Deposits on teeth might have hardened due to improper brsishing or brush design
good thing is you don't need to get worried bcz
sometimes the gap gets close on itself after sometime
wait for 7 to 10 days still if u do not find any improvement you can consult dentist
Next Steps
you can get the gap closed through various available treatments
the mode of treatment depends on the extent of gap and underlying cause
Health Tips
plz consult the doctor after 1 week
don't need to panic

Hello..
Cleaning or scaling doesn't make space in between your teeth, it is your natural space which is shown after clearing of hard substance called as calculus..
Other thing is check your vitamin D and calcium level, some time because of interdental bone loss cause spacing in between teeth.
