How To Treat Cuts And Mild Soreness Inside Mouth After Teeth Cleaning?

I have a question. Last week I went for a teeth cleaning and they do it in 2 sessions. after the first session the hygienist told me to rinse for two weeks, 2x day with Peroxyll which is a hydrogen peroxide rinse. After a week my mouth felt very tender and sensitive so I decided to stop. Last night i noticed i had what felt like cuts on the bottom and roof of my mouth. it was odd. Today the cuts are gone by my mouth is a little sore and I have broken blood vessels inside my lips!

Hello Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query .The symptoms you describe in query are indicating that you are not properly rinse your oral cavity with water after hydrogen peroxide rinses. Some times when hydrogen peroxide remains on mucosa or unreacted hydrogen peroxide on mucosa , i make mucosa dry and prone to infection . This will cause infection of mucus membrane of mouth which leads to sores .

I would suggest you to properly rinse you mouth with clean water after peroxide rinses ,so tha no peroxide left on your mucosa , avoid carbonated drinks ,smoking and drinking. Do warm saline rinses twice a day.

If condition still persists then consult dentist again for proper evaluation to rule out condition like canker sore . Dentist may perform polishing of teethe ,Because sometimes small sharp edges left after scaling that create problem or prescribe you anticeptic mouthwash other then peroxyll like listrine.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
