Can I go back to work after a treatment visit?+
Many factors play into how you feel, including how much was treated and the freezing used. Ask about your particular plan, and tell us what your day looks like afterward.
Will I have to change my meals for a while?+
If chewing feels tender, choose softer foods for a while and steer clear of anything that irritates the treated area. Your instructions after treatment take priority.
Why can’t everything be done in one long appointment?+
Sometimes it can. Where many areas or deep pockets are involved, splitting treatment into sections allows time for anaesthetic, thorough cleaning and your comfort.
Should I brush the treated areas if they feel sore?+
Yes, plaque control should carry on, using the technique and tools recommended for those spots. If you are uncertain how to do this, the clinic can go over it with you.
How far apart will my maintenance visits be?+
Recall timing is personalized and gets set after reassessment. It depends on how your gums have responded and how stable they appear.
How do Leila North residents request appointments?+
