DEEP CLEANING

Your gums may be mildly sore and irritated for several days after a scaling and root planing procedure.

We recommend you:

-Rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1 teaspoon of salt in 8 oz of water) 2 or 3 times a day to relieve pain and clean the area.

-Continue brushing and flossing as usual, but do it lightly, so as not to further irritate the gums.

-Avoid hard or chewy foods for 2 to 3 days after your treatment.

-Take a mild analgesic to control the pain.
