Tartar can build up around the gumline and even below it. When a dentist or hygienist removes that buildup, the gums may feel tender for a few days. The tooth can also feel slightly different because swollen gum tissue isn’t pressing around it in quite the same way.<\/p>\r\n
And if you had a deep cleaning, the sensation can be more noticeable. The area has been cleaned below the gumline, which can leave things feeling sensitive or unfamiliar for a short while. It doesn’t mean the tooth has suddenly become unstable.<\/p>\r\n

Probably not if the feeling is mild and disappears as your gums recover. But a tooth that genuinely moves shouldn’t be treated as a normal side effect of cleaning.<\/p>\r\n
