Tooth pain. Goes to one side of head.

Pain and discomfort after a dental scaling procedure are not uncommon. Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gums, which can cause some irritation and sensitivity. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by symptoms like headache, it's a good idea to reach out to your dentist to discuss your symptoms. Here are a few possibilities for the pain you're experiencing: Post-Scaling Sensitivity: It's normal to experience increased sensitivity after a scaling procedure. The removal of plaque and tartar can expose the sensitive dentin layer of your teeth, leading to temporary discomfort. This sensitivity can extend to nearby gums as well. Gingival Irritation: The gums can become slightly irritated after scaling, especially if there was a significant amount of plaque and tartar present. This irritation might cause some discomfort and pain. Infection: In some cases, if there was significant inflammation or infection around the teeth and gums prior to scaling, the procedure might lead to temporary worsening of symptoms before improvement occurs. Sinus Issues: Sometimes, upper molar teeth are located close to the sinuses, and dental work like scaling might temporarily affect the sinuses, causing referred pain or headache on one side of the head. If you're experiencing severe pain, persistent discomfort, or any unusual symptoms, it's best to contact your dentist. They can assess your situation, determine if there's an underlying issue that needs to be addressed, and provide appropriate guidance and treatment. In the meantime, you can try using a desensitizing toothpaste for any sensitivity you're experiencing. Avoid very hot or cold foods and beverages, and maintain good oral hygiene to support the healing process.
