Most bad breath results from a proliferation of bacteria in the mouth. Because periodontal disease is a chronic infection harboring millions of bacteria in the deep gum pockets, bad breath is a common symptom. When deep cleanings reduce the bacterial count in the mouth, the problem of bad breath is usually improved.
The duration of a deep cleaning depends on the condition of your teeth and gums, but most deep cleanings take 1-2 hours.
Here are some foods to avoid after a deep cleaning:
Avoid sharp or crunch foods, like nuts and popcorn, for at least 24 hours post-treatment
Avoid hot foods and beverages, like hot soup or hot coffee, for about 48 hours post-treatment
Avoid highly acidic foods, like oranges and tomatoes, for at least 48 hours post-treatment
Avoid spicy foods and alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours to promote healing
