Sensitivity of teeth after prophylaxis is very common, specially with the lower front teeth.
This a transient phase which normally last from 2-7 days, sometimes even more (varies from person to person).

Next Steps
You can change your toothpaste and switch to a desensitizing toothpaste such as Colgate Sensitive plus/ Sensodyne Repair and protect/ Shy-NM
Use the toothpaste for atleast 14days, twice daily.
Sensitivity will come down gradually.

Please don't quit your treatment midway and get it completed. You can consult a Periodontist (Gum Care Expert) if the sensitivity persist

You need to consult specialist and diagnose the issue and then get the treatment done. Quitting treatment is not the solution , The problem won't get solved by it.
Next Steps
Use some sensitive toothpaste to reduce the sensitivity .

Hi,
Sometimes tertb go sensitive after profy appointment which is a transient phase. You should settle down in less than a week. It is not a good idea to quit treatment in between
