Cleaning of the teeth is not an emergency procedure and can wait for sometime and it would be prudent if you can give approximately 2 weeks for the clinical healing of the soft tissues of the extraction sockets to be over. Regards

If you think you will be able to keep your mouth open for 30-40 mins then you can go ahead with the scaling(plaque removal).
