Gum Curettage
At J A Aneja Multispeciality Dental Centre, we specialize in advanced gum treatments to ensure optimal oral health. One such effective procedure is Gum Curettage, a technique used to remove infected gum tissue and promote healing.
Gum Curettage is a periodontal procedure that involves the careful removal of diseased soft tissue from the gum pockets surrounding the teeth. This process helps eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and encourage the regeneration of healthy gum tissue.
Why is Gum Curettage Needed?
- To treat periodontal (gum) disease
- To reduce gum inflammation and bleeding
- To promote faster healing of gum tissues
- To prevent tooth loss caused by severe gum infections
- To enhance overall oral health and hygiene
Procedure
- Diagnosis & Assessment : Our expert dentists examine the gums and determine the extent of the infection.
- Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing) : Plaque and tartar buildup are removed from the teeth and roots.
- Curettage : The infected gum lining is gently scraped away to eliminate bacteria and promote healing.
- Post-Treatment Care : Instructions are provided for maintaining oral hygiene and ensuring a smooth recovery.
