Tooth Cleaning and Brushing05/31/2011 |
After a professional tooth cleaning the gums are usually hurt. How long after the procedure can we resume toothbrushing so as not to hurt the gums more?
If the gums are tender, brushing and flossing them 2-3 times a day immediately following your cleaning is the best treatment. Tissues are tender because they are inflamed and need the stimulation of the brush and floss to firm up.
