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.

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).
