After a scaling and root planing procedure, you may experience mild gum soreness, slight bleeding, or tooth sensitivity for a few days. These symptoms are normal as your gums begin to heal and reattach to your teeth. It’s important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions, including using a soft toothbrush, rinsing with salt water or prescribed mouthwash, and avoiding smoking. With proper care, you’ll notice reduced gum inflammation and improved oral health.
