How to prevent the risk of infection after gingivectomy?

To prevent the risk of infection after gingivectomy, maintain good oral hygiene by gently brushing and flossing. Reduce germs by using antiseptic mouthwashes (such as chlorhexidine). Follow your dentist’s recommended healing instructions, including dietary and activity restrictions. If necessary, your dentist may prescribe antibiotics to further reduce the risk of infection. Also, attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your healing. By taking these precautions, you can ensure a smooth healing process and minimize the likelihood of infection.
