i just had gingivoplasty 30 minutes ago and The Doctor did not give me periodont!


Question: I just had gingivoplasty 30 minutes ago and The Doctor did not give me periodontal dressing!! Help Asap !!!?
i was just in the doctor's office 30 minutes ago, and i was seriously worried, i just wanted my gums reshaped, so i went in and i told him, he said im just going to remove 1 or 2mm from your gums on the upper 6 front teeth using scalpel, so he started, and he did not even clean my teeth or gums, i just brushed then went to his office and he started.

and after everything finished in like 10 minutes, he prescribed 3 medicines for me.

1- Flagyl 500mg , twice a day.
2- Julmentin 2x , twice a day.
3- Brufen 600 , twice a day.

And a Mouth Wash to use 3 to 4 times a day called Corsodyl Mouthwash, and he said get an Oral-B Medium Brush.

he said that the gums will only bleed for max an hour or an hour and half, so wait at least three hours before you start eating again.
and come back next week at the same time and day.

i said do i need anything else, maybe cover the gums, he said its not necessary!

Im really worried guys, PLEASE help me, is the periodontal dressing extremely important?

what should i do now, should i go back to him?

Answers:

no not many places use a perio dressing anymore becasue it is really not needed. If he prescribed you the med and the mouthwash. That mouthwash is actually chlorhexidine rinse which alot of dentists now use instead of the dressing because it is shown to be more effective in healing. Don't worry you will be fine!
