No. sensitivity occurs because usually before scaling teeth are covered with a layer of deposits( which are harmful foe the gums and contain loads of bacteria). these deposits are called calculus and they cause gum and bone recession. when removed it exposes the part of your tooth which is sensitive. but this sensitivity goes away in 7 to 14 days with use of tooth paste like sensodyne and a mouthwash.

Scalling and polishing when indicated is not bad for teeth . Provided you do it at a good standard dental clinic and after wards take care of your teeth . Your dentist should teach you how to take care of your teeth at home .

There are no such side effects of scaling and polishing, but for few days you can feel sensitivity overall. That's why it's recommended not to eat so hot and so cold things after scaling and polishing.

After scaling and root planing is completed, you may experience slight discomfort around the teeth for several days and increased sensitivity to hot and cold (and sometimes sweets) for up to four to six weeks duration. This is a normal course of healing

sensitivity after scaling is a temporary phase its remains only for 3 to 5 days maximum. scaling doesn't weakens teeth or make teeth sensitive. scaling is recommended every 6 months for every one to maintain a good oral hygiene.

Dentist in Karachi - Dr. Manesh Kumar

No , there are no side effects of polishing , even its beneficial for teeth
It decrease sensitivity , make teeth smoother and shiny so less plaque/calculas deposits .
