When can I have my next teeth cleaning since the procedure?

I had a tooth/crown removed due to a cavity and had a post put in for an implant. When can I have my next teeth cleaning since the procedure? Waiting to see oral surgeon in 2 months to get a go ahead for new implant/crown.

Hi Barbara,

You can see your hygienist or dentist at any time for a cleaning, regardless of when your crown will be placed. We dental professionals just take different precautions around teeth depending on what their conditions are. Your hygienist will know what to do, so don't worry. It's important to stay up to date with your routine cleanings in order to maintain proper gum health.
