You're : You're not specific about the treatment but it sounds like an aggressive cleaning. If that's so it is quite possible to have sensitivity that may go away. Although something like sensodyne can work if it's just a post-cleaning reaction, it certainly can't hurt to call and ask to be seen.

Clean gums: Cleaning plaque buildup on teeth sometimes causes sensitivity because removing plaque from under the gums exposes the roots of your teeth temporarily and sensitivity can occur temporarily.
