Dear doctor, I recently did my scaling and after eating an ice cream I suddenly felt sensitivity in one of my upper tooth. It is now 2 days but I am still facing the sensitivity..can I take some pain relief or any home remedy..
Hello
Post scaling sensitivity is normal. It should subside in 2-4 days. You can use any tooth paste which takes care of sensitivity. Use it for 15 days and then stop but wait for 4 days post scaling sensitivity subsides on its own.
Sensitivity after cleaning is expected but it should stop within two days, you can use Sensodyne , but you have to massage this for over a month otherwise it will not be effective.Also avoid all refrigerated items completely.

you can use Sensodyne,Repair and protect tooth paste for a few months.Sensitivity post scaling for a few days can be expected.
