Can you brush your teeth after scaling?

I am a 32 year old female. I wonder if you can brush your teeth after scaling?

Yes do it gently if brushing right after the procedure
Yes. I would be cautious around the gum line.
Yes.
It is absolutely safely to brush after scaling. Scaling is a cleaning procedure for teeth. It is not invasive in any way. However, if you had deep cleaning (scaling root planing), expect your teeth to be somewhat sensitive since deposits were removed from roots, and roots may be exposed until gums grow over. 
 


Yes you can. You should start a normal regimen of brushing and flossing
Yes you can.
