Dental Curettage
Dental curettage, also known as subgingival curettage, is a dental procedure used to treat gum disease or periodontitis. It involves the removal of diseased or infected gum tissue from the area between the gum line and the tooth root. The goal of dental curettage is to eliminate bacteria, plaque, and tartar build-up in the periodontal pocket, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Here’s an overview of the typical process of dental curettage:
Diagnosis:
Your dentist will assess your oral health by examining your teeth, gums, and dental X-rays. They will diagnose the presence and severity of gum disease and determine if dental curettage is necessary.
Anesthesia:
Local anesthesia is usually administered to numb the area being treated and ensure your comfort during the procedure. In some cases, sedation may be used for anxious patients or for extensive treatment.
Smoothing of Root Surfaces:
After cleaning, the root surfaces of your teeth may be smoothed to remove any rough areas, which can help promote healthier gum attachment and prevent further accumulation of bacteria.
Flushing and Irrigation:
The treated area will be thoroughly flushed and irrigated to remove any debris and ensure proper healing.
Post-treatment Care:
Your dentist will provide instructions on how to care for your gums and teeth after the dental curettage procedure. It may include recommendations for oral hygiene practices, medication, and follow-up appointments.
It’s essential to note that the effectiveness of dental curettage may vary depending on the severity of gum disease and individual factors. Your dentist will evaluate your specific condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
