Hi
Teeth cleaning ( scaling) should be done every 6 months..
Even though you brush twice a day regularly only 90% deposits will gets cleaned by tooth brushing and the remaining 10% will gets accumlated ( soft deposits called plaque)and it will gets harder after 14 days (Hard deposits called calculus)....Deposits will continue to accumalate in the area where the tooth brush is in accessible..
That type of deposits will only cleaned by dentists professionally
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur clinical examination and management

Ultrasonic scaling does not lead to problems like senitivity in future. It should be infact done every six to eight months to prevent gum diseases.

It won't cause any new problems, but yes if you already have sensitivity it will be little discomforting during the procedure. It is safe to get ultrasonic scaling done every six months to a year depending upon your oral hygiene maintenance.
Next Steps
If you are so concern about the sensitivity during ultrasonic scaling ask for a hand scaling or local anesthesia.
