Post-operative instructions after scaling
- Start your prescribed oral hygiene regime (brushing, rinsing with mouthwash, flossing, and gum massage).
- We recommend rinsing your mouth several times on the day of treatment with lukewarm salt water (one glass of lukewarm water with half a teaspoon of salt).
- A little discomfort is expected when the anesthesia wears off. Use prescribed medication to reduce discomfort.
- Sensitivity to cold or touch may temporarily occur. It will usually reduce in a day or two.
- Your next meal should be soft. Avoid any hard foods such as peanuts, popcorn, chips, and hard bread for at least 3 to 4 days.
- It is best to avoid hot spicy foods and alcohol for at least 24 hours.
- Slight bleeding may continue for several hours following the procedure. If bleeding persists beyond a few hours, please call us.
- Please avoid smoking for 2 to 3 days after the procedure. Tobacco use delays healing.
- Avoid any strenuous activity like aerobics, jogging, or tennis for the rest of the day.
