After polishing, irrigate the gingival sulcus to remove the debrided
bacterial components and prevent immediate reorganisation in the
sulcus. Use saline via a blunted needle or plastic pipette.

to give fluoride treatment, as fluoride and chlorhexidine compete
for the same receptor sites on the tooth surface.
