Q: I know one needs to wait 6 months after LANAP laser surgery before probing, but how long do patients have to wait after LANAP before they can get routine cleanings done on their teeth? Thank you!
A: We wait 12 months to probe. We are always cleaning our patients supra-gingivally (above the gum line) throughout the post-operative period. As needed, we will instrument sub- gingivally after 3 months.
