Curettage

What is Gingival Curettage?

When Do You Need Gingival Curettage?
- Persistent gum inflammation even after regular cleaning
- Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
- Deep periodontal pockets (typically over 4mm)
- Gum infections not responding to non-surgical treatments
- Swollen or tender gums with visible plaque or tartar below the gumline
Gingival Curettage Procedure
Assessment & Diagnosis
The dentist examines gum pockets and identifies areas of inflammation or infection.
Local Anesthesia
A numbing agent is applied to ensure a pain-free experience during the procedure.
Tissue Removal
Infected gum tissue lining the pocket is gently scraped away using a curette.
Cleaning & Smoothing
The tooth roots are cleaned and smoothed to promote healing and prevent future buildup.
