AFTER CARE
After a deep cleaning, you may have pain for a day or two and teeth sensitivity for up to a week. Your gums also may be swollen, feel tender and bleed.
To prevent infection, control pain or help you heal, your dentist may prescribe a pill or mouth rinse. Your dentist may also insert medication (subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline) directly into the pocket that was cleaned.
Your dentist will schedule another visit to see how your gums have healed and measure the depth of your pockets. If they have gotten deeper, more treatment may be needed.
Good dental care at home is essential to help keep gum disease from becoming more serious or recurring. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft brush, clean between your teeth daily, eat a balanced diet, avoid using tobacco and see your dentist regularly.
SCALING AND ROOT PLANNING
Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, causes gum disease. If you don’t clean your teeth well, plaque can cause your gums to become inflamed. As a result, your gums will pull away from your teeth and form pockets. Regular brushing cannot remove plaque trapped in these pockets. Untreated gum disease can lead to bone and tooth loss.
Gum disease can be treated with a professional cleaning if it is caught early and the structures below the gum line have not been damaged. Scaling and root planing may be necessary if your gum pockets are too deep.
There are two parts to this deep cleaning. When your dentist scales your teeth, he or she removes all the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) above and below the gumline, including the bottom of the pockets. To help your gums reattach to your teeth, your dentist will smooth out the roots of your teeth. A local anesthetic may be required for scaling and root planing, which may require more than one visit.
