It’s quite common to find gaps and tooth mobility after scaling, if your gums and supporting bone is weaken. Don’t worry. Visit dental clinic for follow up.

After scaling and polishing sometimes their is temporary or mild mobility present. It's perfectly fine. Try to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day. Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day. If pain still persist then consult doctor online or offline.
