###Human: Will scaling cause loosening of teeth? ###Assistant: Hello. I have been through your query and I can understand your concern. After cleaning and scaling of the teeth, they generally become loose temporarily because of the ultrasonic movement of the instrument. You do not need to worry as it will get to the normal in coming days. I would suggest you not making the teeth more loose by moving them by your tongue or fingers. Just keep it like that and it will become normal after some days or a week. Follow up after one week.
