Full mouth debridement to enable comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis

FULL MOUTH DEBRIDEMENT TO ENABLE A COMPREHENSIVE ORAL EVALUATION AND DIAGNOSIS ON A SUBSEQUENT VISIT. Full mouth debridement involves the preliminary removal of plaque and calculus that interferes with the ability of the dentist to perform a comprehensive oral evaluation.

What happens after a full mouth debridement?

A few weeks after your full mouth debridement, your gums will have healed and most inflammation will subside. Your gums may be a little sore right after the debridement since we clear them of any plaque and tartar, but any discomfort can be easily diminished with pain-relieving medicine.
