Post–Periodontal Treatment Instructions

Post–Periodontal Treatment Instructions

Immediate Effects You May Feel

– Even after the first stage of treatment, bleeding, itching, and burning in the gums usually decrease or disappear.
– Teeth feel smoother, and any looseness may slightly reduce.

Normal Sensations After Treatment

– Increased sensitivity to hot or cold is common. It is due to plaque removal from the root surfaces and usually fades in 1–2 weeks.
– If discomfort from sensitivity is strong and interferes with eating or drinking, consult your periodontist to choose a suitable desensitizing toothpaste.
– Mild discomfort when brushing or eating is normal in the first 1–2 days.
– If deep pockets or swelling were present, you may notice some exposed root surfaces after healing — this is a normal outcome of treating severe periodontitis.

When to Contact Your Dentist

– Fever
– Swelling in the facial soft tissues
– Increased gum bleeding
– Any unusual or uncomfortable sensations that concern you

Essential Hygiene Tools

– Interdental brushes — the most effective tool for cleaning between teeth.
– Super floss — if you have bridges.
– Single-tuft brush — for hard-to-reach areas.

What to Avoid

– Avoid acidic foods and very hot or cold drinks.

What to Do

– At night after treatment:
  • Brush your teeth thoroughly.
  • Use an interdental brush for spaces between teeth.
  • Mild gum bleeding during hygiene is normal.
– Brush your teeth at least twice daily (morning and evening).
– Gum inflammation is caused by plaque — meticulous hygiene is key!

تعليمات ما بعد علاج اللثة (علاج أمراض اللثة)

التأثيرات الفورية المتوقعة

– بعد المرحلة الأولى من العلاج، عادة ما تقل أو تختفي نزيف اللثة، الحكة، أو الحرقان.
– ستشعر أن سطح الأسنان أصبح أنعم، وقد تقل حركة الأسنان قليلاً.

الأعراض المسموح بها بعد العلاج

– قد تشعر بزيادة الحساسية تجاه المشروبات أو الأطعمة الساخنة والباردة — هذا أمر طبيعي بسبب إزالة الرواسب عن جذور الأسنان، ويزول خلال 1–2 أسبوع.
– إذا كانت الحساسية شديدة وتؤثر على تناول الطعام والشراب، استشر طبيبك لاختيار معجون أسنان مخصص للحساسية.
– انزعاج خفيف أثناء تنظيف الأسنان أو الأكل خلال أول يومين يُعتبر طبيعياً.
– في حال وجود جيوب لثوية عميقة، قد تلاحظ بعد زوال الالتهاب أن جذور الأسنان مكشوفة جزئياً — وهذا طبيعي في الحالات المتقدمة من التهاب اللثة.

متى يجب مراجعة الطبيب

– ارتفاع في درجة الحرارة
– تورم في أنسجة الوجه
– زيادة في نزيف اللثة
– أي أعراض أو أحاسيس غير طبيعية تثير القلق

أدوات النظافة الأساسية

– فرشاة ما بين الأسنان (الفرشاة الصغيرة) — الأداة الأكثر فعالية لتنظيف الفراغات بين الأسنان.
– سوبر فلوس — في حال وجود جسور.
– فرشاة أحادية الرأس — لتنظيف الأماكن التي يصعب الوصول إليها.

ما يجب تجنبه

– تجنب الأطعمة الحمضية والمشروبات شديدة السخونة أو البرودة.

ما يجب فعله

– في الليلة التالية للعلاج:
  • نظف أسنانك جيدًا باستخدام فرشاة الأسنان.
  • نظف المساحات بين الأسنان باستخدام فرشاة ما بين الأسنان.
  • نزيف بسيط أثناء التنظيف أمر طبيعي!
– اغسل أسنانك مرتين يوميًا على الأقل (صباحًا ومساءً).
– السبب الرئيسي لالتهاب اللثة هو الترسبات — لذا نظف أسنانك بعناية!
