You need to follow some instructions like don't eat anything extreme hot or cold for three to four days, warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, use mouthwash, try to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day.
Use de sensitising toothpaste for 15 days.
Then you can use any toothpaste, important is brushing technique.
Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hello
Just go through the following post scaling tips and instructions:
1. Avoid extreme hot and extreme cold food items for atleast 4-5 days as the teeth are will be little more sensitive now.
2. Start warm saline rinses (take half glass luke warm water, add little salt in it and rinse your mouth) atleast three times a day after meals. It is the best antiseptic and antibiotic for gums.
3. Use a mild mouthwash such as hexidine or freshchlor for 10 days ( one daily at bed time)
4. Use anti sensitivity toothpaste such as Sensodyne or thermoseal for atleast 15 days ( apply the toothpaste on teeth with fingers and leave it undisturbed for 7-8 minutes, followed by brushing teeth with such bristled toothbrush).
Next Steps
Just follow the above instructions

Hello sir,
Itz true drinking tea n coffee stains the teeth.. Since u have done scaling n polishing itz better to avoid tea n coffee for sometime.. Since your enamel of teeth is now 4times more prone for easily getting stained. Regarding mouthwash regular usage of mouthwash can lead to some taste loss n oral inflammation.. Itz bttr to gargle with luke warm water.. Normally continuous usage of mouth was also leads to disturbance of oral microbial flora. Once in night usage of chlorrexdinie mouthwash vl go best.. After dinner or bed time.. Sensodyne sensitive toothpaste vl b best for now after scaling n polishing.
Next Steps
Night after dinner once mouthwash.. Kp for 10sec gargle n spit it off..
Health Tips
Usage of long term of mouth wash.. Can disturb normal microbial flora..
