Post Gum Depigmentation Treatment Care

Proper aftercare following gum depigmentation is essential for optimal healing and long-lasting results. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive post-treatment guidance to ensure your newly lightened gums heal properly and maintain their aesthetic improvement.

Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours)

• Manage discomfort: Mild tenderness is normal and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.


• Apply cold compresses: To reduce any swelling, apply cold packs to the outside of your face for 20 minutes at a time.


• Rest and recover: Limit physical activity for 24 hours to promote healing and reduce bleeding risk.


• Dietary modifications: Consume soft, lukewarm foods and avoid spicy, acidic, or hard foods that might irritate healing gum tissue.

Ongoing Care (First Week)

During the first week after your gum depigmentation procedure, follow these important guidelines:

• Gentle oral hygiene: Brush very gently around treated areas using a soft-bristled toothbrush.


• Saltwater rinses: Rinse with warm saltwater 3-4 times daily to promote healing and prevent infection.


• Avoid tobacco products: Smoking can significantly impair healing and may contribute to repigmentation.


• Use prescribed mouthwash: Follow instructions for any antimicrobial mouthwash we've prescribed.

Long-term Maintenance

Preventing Repigmentation

To maintain your results for as long as possible:

• Avoid tobacco: Smoking is a primary cause of gum pigmentation and can reverse your treatment results.


• Maintain oral hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss regularly to keep gums healthy.


• Regular professional cleanings: Schedule hygiene appointments every 6 months.


• Sun protection: Excessive sun exposure may contribute to pigmentation in some cases.
