My gums feel sore after treatment. Is that normal?

Some gum tenderness can occur after dental procedures, especially when work is performed near the gumline. This soreness usually improves within a few days as the tissue heals. Gentle brushing and warm saltwater rinses can help soothe the area. At Newman Dental we take care to minimize tissue irritation during treatment. If soreness persists or worsens, we recommend contacting our office.
