Deep Cleaning for Healthier Gums
Gum curettage is a deep cleaning procedure that removes infected tissue and bacteria from inside the gum pockets to promote gum health and healing. This treatment is recommended for patients with gingivitis or early-stage periodontitis, helping to prevent gum disease progression and restore healthy gums.
✔ Examination & Diagnosis: The dentist assesses gum pockets for infection or inflammation.
✔ Local Anaesthesia (If Needed): The area is numbed for comfort during the procedure.
✔ Removal of Infected Tissue: A special curette instrument gently removes diseased tissue and bacteria from inside the gum pockets.
✔ Scaling & Disinfection: The tooth root is smoothed and cleaned, preventing further plaque buildup.
✔ Healing & Gum Regeneration: The gums heal over time, reattaching firmly to the tooth.
✔ Removes bacteria & infected tissue, stopping gum disease progression.
✔ Reduces inflammation, promoting healthier gums.
✔ Prevents further gum recession and bone loss.
✔ Encourages gum reattachment for a tighter, healthier gumline.
✔ Minimally invasive with little to no discomfort.
✔ Mild sensitivity or tenderness is normal and subsides within a few days.
✔ Good oral hygiene is essential to maintain gum health.
✔ Avoid smoking, alcohol, and hard foods to support healing.
✔ Routine dental check-ups prevent future gum issues.
Gum curettage is an effective non-surgical treatment for maintaining healthy gums, preventing periodontal disease, and ensuring long-term oral health.
