After a deep cleaning, any discomfort or swelling will subside within a few weeks. The time it takes for symptoms to diminish depends on the extent of the infection.
In addition to following any recommendations made by Dr. Behbood, you’ll want to rinse with warm salt water to keep your mouth free of bacteria and promote gum healing. You can also use over-the-counter medications and ice to help with any discomfort or swelling you may be experiencing.
