Gums sore after deep cleaning
This is my first time getting my teeth deep cleaned. It's been two weeks & Just my two bottom teeth which are my wisdom teeth are very sore immediately after eating solid foods. I take aspirin to help but should it take this long to heal?

Deep cleaning does cause discomfort in the molar areas some time
Could persist for around 2/3 days
Rinse your mouth after every meal , don’t brush to hard ( use soft bristles tooth brush ) , do warm water salt gargles twice a day

Deep cleaning can sometimes cause discomfort as the bacteria may be pushed deeper. Take an anti inflammatory tablet like Combiflam , do hat water gargles with salt and apply stolin or zingisol gum astringent on the gums in that area. It should settle down in 2-3 days
Next Steps
Consult your dentist if it persists
