I had a really brutal cleaning of my teeth 3 weeks ago and now I have problems?

I have my teeth cleaned every 6 months and the last time she was digging and picking and scraping until there was a lot of blood going up thru the suction. Then she got out this ultrasonic cleaning device and really got down to business.
My teeth were sore for 2 weeks. Now when I eat cold or hot food, it makes my upper jaw and teeth ache until the temperature gets back to normal in my mouth. I have also noticed when I chew food, it is giving me a headache pain I would rate a 3 on a 0-10 scale. What is going on with my mouth? This has never happened to me before and I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day and floss at least 1 time daily.

Do you have bleeding when you brush daily? What about when you floss? How long do you spend brushing? It should take you a minimum of 2-3 minutes. If you have never timed it, try it. 2-3 minutes of toothbrushing is real close to eternity. Rarely is anything wrong with your teeth actually going to cause a headache. Tension, maybe, but usually not the teeth. OK, There are a few other things you should know. (1) If you have been having just the free every 6 month cleaning that your insurance pays for, that only goes a little bit under your gumline. Anything deeper is usually going to cost you quite a bit more out of pocket. (2) The Cavitron doesn't necessarily go deeper, but it will do a really good job of removing the calculus that is below your gumline and flush the area out real well which encourages healing.(3)The sensitivity you are reporting is fairly normal if you have any bone loss or gum recession. Get some Sensodyne toothpaste. It is made for sensitive teeth and will help pretty quick. When your gums recede, it exposes the root surface of your tooth and that is a lot more sensitive than the enamel part of your tooth. It will generally improve with a little time no matter what you do, but the Sensodyne will help a lot! It actually sounds like your hygienist might have given you a more thorough cleaning than your insurance usually pays for.
