Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Sensitivity is a common encounter after scaling and cleaning. I reckon you should try toothpastes which help reduce sensitivity. But even after using them if you feel sensitive to hot or cold then visit your dentist again to check for any hidden cavities. X-rays might be required to find them out.
