Aftercare

Aftercare: professional teeth cleaning

After your cleaning

  • Wait 30 minutes to an hour before eating.
  • Feeling cold air on the gums and in the spaces around teeth is completely normal.
  • Minor gum bleeding and sensitivity will subside in time.
  • Use a soft-bristled brush.
  • Do lukewarm saline gargles to boost circulation in the gums.
  • Don't poke gums with toothpicks, use floss or a water flosser instead.

Wondering what this means for your teeth? Book a 15-minute consultation.
