Good evening doctors. i am having a deep gum cleaning this thursday morning..i am supposed to meet friends for dinner later that afternoon..will i be able to eat later that afternoon or should i reschedule?

YOUR ORAL HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN DINNER. YOU CAN ALWAYS MEET FRIENDS BUT YOUR ORAL CONDITION CAN GET WORSE IF A NEW APPOINTMENT TAKES A MONTH OR MORE. YOU WILL HAVE SOME DISCOMFORT AFTER A DEEP CLEANING SO GET IT DONE AND HAVE A FEW DRINKS WITH YOUR FRIENDS..
