What are the precautions after gum growth removal?

First of all, care should be taken to maintain oral hygiene by rinsing with a suitable chlorhexidine mouthwash. It is not recommended to brush your teeth with a toothbrush on the day of surgery, but to remove food residues from the mouth by rinsing to prevent infection. You should also avoid hard, hot food and strenuous exercise just after surgery to avoid affecting the healing rate. After 24 hours of surgical removal, a toothbrush can be used to clean the non-surgical areas of the teeth. Post-operative review should be carried out at the time prescribed by the doctor.
