It may also require removal of diseased tissue within the pocket. The goal of this treatment is to allow reattachment of the gums to the clean root surface and to shrink the periodontal pockets to levels that can be maintained by daily flossing and brushing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider size=”45″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#657e8e” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” video_opacity=”0″ js_vertical_centered=”true” padding_top=”90″ padding_bottom=”90″ section_id=”post-op-instructions” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”36″ force_font_size=”true” size_phone=”32″ font_weight=”bold” margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” align=”center”]Curettage Post Operative Instructions[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1597946659866{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The following guidelines have been prepared for you in order to maximize healing and minimize any discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things to Avoid for the first 24 hours:<\/h3>\n
\n
    \n
  • Vigorous physical exercise, but you may return to work<\/li>\n
  • Drinking through a straw or sucking motions.<\/li>\n
  • Do not smoke. It\u2019s better to refrain for 48 hours.<\/li>\n
  • Drinking alcoholic beverages will retard the healing process.<\/li>\n
  • Foods that are extreme in temperature or spicy.<\/li>\n
  • Avoid using any strong mouthwashes that contain alcohol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”60″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7\/12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1592837929751{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

    Things to Do:<\/h3>\n
    \n
      \n
    • You may take a non-aspirin analgesic to relieve any tenderness or discomfort, such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).<\/li>\n
    • Eat a well balanced soft diet for today. You may chew on the opposite side of the treated area until it is comfortable to chew normally.<\/li>\n
    • Rinse with a warm salt water rinse, a teaspoon in an 8 oz. glass of water, 3 times a day.<\/li>\n
    • Brush your teeth very lightly in the treated area the first night. Then begin flossing lightly as well the next day, gradually increasing to normal force by the week\u2019s end.<\/li>\n
    • After flossing and brushing, rinse with chlorhexidine gluconate (Peridex), if it was prescribed, for at least 60 seconds. Do this at least twice daily.<\/li>\n
    • Several days after treatment your gums should begin to appear pinker, less swollen, and will bleed less when you floss. These are signs of healing and improving periodontal health.
