A member asked:

Hi doctors. how long is it considered normal to have blood after my first periodontal maintenance cleaning? i had it 2 days ago and still see some blood after chewing?

You had a surgical procedure accomplished. Healing time depends on your physiology an d the extent of your periodontal disease. Discuss your specific questions with the practitioner that knows you best, your Periodontist.

Depending on the periodontal condition of your gingiva, that may be perfectly normal.
