Dental & oral health
The 48 hours after scaling
Bigger gaps and sensitive teeth after a clean? That’s not damage. Here’s what to do.
- 1Bigger gaps = the space tartar and swollen gums were filling
- 2Sensitivity usually fades in 1–2 weeks; use a sensitivity toothpaste
- 3Brush as normal the same day — soft brush, go easy on sore spots
- 4Skip coffee, tea, red wine and other dark foods for 24 hours
- 5Light oozing for 1–2 days is normal; bleeding beyond 24 h — call the dentist
- 6Healthy gums don’t need a fixed 6-monthly clean; periodontitis needs 3–6-monthly maintenance
On dialysis: book the day after dialysis, once heparin has cleared. Anticoagulants are not usually stopped for routine scaling.
