I have itchy gums after deep cleaning. is this sign of an infection?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: It's a sign of healing. If you needed a deep cleaning you probably have early to moderate gum disease. Make sure you brush 2x/day for 2 full minutes by the clock. Make sure you floss or WaterPik daily...don't skip days. Deep cleaning often signals need for cleanings every 3 months. If probing results in readings of 4mm or more it would be wise to consult w a Periodontist.
