In terms of direct relationship, there is no direct relationship between scaling and smoking, i.e., you can smoke after scaling without any particular risk. However, a few points need to be made. We all know that smoking is harmful to the human body, mainly to the respiratory system, especially the lungs. But most people don’t know that smoking can have a tremendous damaging effect on the periodontium, and there are clear studies that show that smokers have a much greater chance of periodontal disease relative to non-smokers. Scaling is the process of cleaning plaque and tartar from the periodontium so that the periodontium is in a healthier state. If you still smoke after scaling, it is not easy to maintain the healthy state of the periodontium, and it is ultimately recommended to quit smoking as soon as possible.
