# After gum treatment

Laser and deep-cleaning treatment helps gums settle; good home care keeps them that way.

## Do

- Brush gently with a soft brush, including the treated area
- Rinse with warm salt water 2–3 times a day for a few days
- Use the interdental brushes we showed you
- Keep your review appointment

## Don't

- Smoking for at least 48 hours
- Spicy, crunchy or very hot food for 1–2 days

## What's normal

- Tender gums for a few days
- Some sensitivity to cold as gums tighten
- Gums looking slightly different as swelling goes down

## When to call us

- Bleeding that doesn't settle
- Swelling, pus or a bad taste
- Pain that's getting worse
