What you may experience temporarily after periodontal debridement (gentle gum therapy)

·      You may notice some discomfort in the gums around the teeth treated 

·      The teeth treated may be a little tender to chew on

·      You may notice sensitivity to hot or cold, food or drinks, on the teeth treated

·      Please let me know because

I can provide you fee free professional treatment to improve the sensitivity

·      Also, consider using Sensodyne toothpaste rubbed in to the gums and teeth that are sensitive

·     Consider using Sensodyne Rapid Relief toothpaste or Colgate Pro Relief toothpaste to brush and apply on the teeth,

then no eating no drinking or 30 minutes after.

·      If needed, consider 1-2 Panadol as required and warm salt water rinses

·      You may notice the above things for a little while

·      But this must be a reducing basis
