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!

I've had a phenomenal experience at True Smile with Dr Ali Gibreel. Honestly, you don't know how good dental care can get before you've had treatment here. You get what you pay for over here: anaesthesia, detailed x-rays and HD photos at each stage of the treatment so you know what you're in for. Dr Ali was very patient in explaining what had to be done and why, and I wasn't pressured to get additional treatment I didn't need. Additionally, he's extremely meticulous and skilled, taking time to slowly layer the fillings in my molars to ensure no gaps. My teeth came out looking like they were completely natural. Service was amazing, facilities were clean and top notch too. Can't complain. 10/10 would recommend.

I have visited True Smile Dental Centre, and Dr. Ali was superb. He explains everything well and even will give you post instructions. To tell you honestly, im afraid to see dentist but i surpassed it and i will be back for sure to maintain my dental care and hygiene. I recommend Dr. Ali for his excellent and quality treatment and care. I would like to mention as well the assistant of Dr. Ali, very friendly, Glaisel, for her gentle and all the way support. It was nice being assisted and treated by the whole True Smile Dental Team❤️❤️❤️

I had an excellent experience with Dr Ali and the entire team. From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming, professional and made me feel completely at ease. Dr Ali was incredibly thorough, took the time to explain everything clearly, and carried out my treatment with great care and attention to detail. What impressed me most was his professionalism, honesty and genuine passion for achieving the best possible outcome for his patients. My teeth have genuinely never felt so clean. The polishing and treatment were exceptional, and my teeth look brighter, smoother and healthier than ever before. You can really tell that Dr Ali takes pride in his work and doesn't rush the treatment. I would highly recommend Dr Ali to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, skilled and caring dentist. Thank you again for such an outstanding experience!

When they’re impacted, causing pain, or crowding your other teeth, extraction is often the safest way forward - done with precision and care.

⏱️ How long does it take to place braces on a full arch?

@lolaortho demonstrates the indirect bonding technique -  a method that allows 
braces to be placed faster and more precisely than the classic “tooth by tooth” approach.

How it works: brackets are pre-positioned on a custom tray based on a digital 
treatment plan, then the entire setup is bonded onto the teeth in one step -
precise, symmetrical, with no wasted movement
