Going to the hygenist before my implant is placed

[Jonathan Wells]

I wanted to double check on this. My implantologist asked me to go to the hygenist before he inserts my implant. Often after going to the hygenist my gums swell and take a little time to settle which I think is quite common. I can only see the hygenist a week before I have my implant appointment.

Do you think a week is enough time for me my gums and teeth to settle before my implant is inserted?

It's enough time if you don't have periodontitis or severe gingivitis.

Thanks,, I get a little come bleeding when I brush and have some gum disease, gingivitis but i wouldn't say it was excessive.

Use a soft toothbrush and warm water with sea salt rinse it thoroughly, it will help you to heal gum sore.
