Post-Op Care for Your Scaling and Root Planing Procedure

  • Post-Op Care for Your Scaling & Root Planing Procedure – Dr. Nita Kalambe

    Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) is a highly effective treatment to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, helping treat gum disease and improve oral health.
    At Shree Dental Care & Implant Center, Dr. Nita Kalambe performs this procedure with advanced ultrasonic scalers and gentle techniques to ensure comfort and long-lasting results.
    Following proper post-care is essential to allow gums to heal and reattach to the teeth.


    What to Expect After Scaling & Root Planing

    • Mild gum soreness for 1–2 days

    • Slight bleeding while brushing initially

    • Temporary tooth sensitivity to hot or cold


    Post-Care Instructions

    1. Control Bleeding & Soreness

    • Rinse with warm saltwater (½ teaspoon salt in a glass of lukewarm water) 2–3 times a day

    • Take prescribed pain relievers if needed

    2. Eating & Drinking

    • Avoid spicy, acidic, and crunchy foods for the first 24 hours

    • Eat soft foods like dal rice, curd, smoothies, and mashed vegetables

    • Drink plenty of water to flush out bacteria

    3. Oral Hygiene

    • Brush gently twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush

    • Floss carefully, avoiding forceful insertion between teeth

    • Use a dentist-prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacterial growth

    4. Avoid Irritants

    • Do not smoke or chew tobacco during the healing period

    • Limit alcohol and carbonated drinks for at least 48 hours

    5. Follow-Up Care

    • Attend your scheduled re-evaluation appointment so Dr. Nita can monitor gum healing

    • Additional cleaning sessions may be recommended for advanced gum disease


    Long-Term Care Tips

    • Maintain regular dental cleanings every 6 months

    • Continue daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing to prevent tartar buildup

    • Monitor for signs of gum disease like bleeding, swelling, or bad breath
