BEST GUM DENTIST IN ARUMBAKKAM! After your deep cleaning, your gums may feel tender and be a bit swollen. Thankfully, this is usually short-lived. After a deep cleaning, infection control may be a concern. To help you heal we may apply a topical medication. In some cases you may need to take a course of antibiotic treatment both before and after your procedure. Every patient is a little different. It just depends on the severity of the gum disease, and how well you respond to treatment. If life has gotten in the way of tending to your oral health, we at Apple Dental would consider it a privilege to be of service.
