Post-op instructions for scaling and root planing



Scaling and Root Planing

After this procedure your gums will probably be slightly sore and irritated for a few days. You should rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1 tsp salt/8 oz water) 2-3 times a day. This will relieve the pain and cleanse the area. Brushing and flossing should be continued right after the procedure, but you should brush gently so that you do not further irritate the area. If you experience any swelling or stiffness in the area you can place a cold compress on the area and take some pain relieving medicine. Avoid any hard or chewy foods for 2-3 days after the surgery to ensure the area heals correctly. If you continue to experience pain or swelling after a few days, contact your dentist.

    I was looking for this exact information. I was wondering all over searching for dentzz review but all i came across was just the types of implants and to some extent risk factors. That wasn't enough for me to decide whether dental implant is a good option for now. This post has given me good information.

    Thank you so much for such informative post. I always prefer stand alone dental discount plans in Texas as there is no waiting period. Here memberships are effective immediately after joining. It helps a lot to save money in emergency dental treatment.
