A member asked:

After how many days/weeks/months of wisdom tooth extraction can i go for scaling/root planning? i have a loose wisdom tooth. dentist asked to remove it first. but i am concerned if it will be safe to clean so soon after removal?

You have been asking many questions about your oral health, which is a good sign of your concern for maintaining it. As long as the extraction site is healed and no opening is present, than you can get the scaling and root planning. You must maintain good oral hygiene afterwards.

Infection spreading from gum disease can damage heart, kidneys, brain, etc. Let your Dentist stage your treatment. His/her 10,000+ hours of training and a lifetime of experience is designed to offer you optimum health. You can probably go for periodontal treatment in a relatively short time after the extraction.
