Deep Scaling & Curettage in Gandhinagar
At Nova Dental Hospital in Gandhinagar, we are committed to providing advanced periodontal therapy to stop gum disease from progressing. One of the most effective treatments we recommend is deep scaling and curettage. This procedure eliminates harmful bacteria from gum pockets, creating the optimal conditions for healing and preventing further damage.
What is Scaling and Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing are two essential steps in deep cleaning:
- Scaling involves removing dental tartar (calculus) from the surfaces of the teeth. This step targets visible plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline.
- Root Planing (or curettage) focuses on smoothing the root surfaces and removing any infected or damaged tooth structure to promote healthy reattachment of the gums.
Understanding Curettage Procedures
Curettage is a specialized process where dead or infected tissue is removed to reduce inflammation, eliminate infection, and prevent unpleasant odors. By clearing out damaged tissue, the gums are given the chance to heal and regenerate healthy tissue.
There are several methods of dental curettage, including:
- Ultrasonic Curettage: Utilizes ultrasonic instruments to effectively clean the gingival pockets.
- Surgical Curettage: Involves creating a gum flap to access deep pockets of infection. The area is thoroughly cleaned before the gum flap is repositioned and sutured in place.
- Basic Curettage: A sharp cutting instrument is used to clean gingival pockets and remove dead tissue. The procedure is typically accompanied by local anesthesia for patient comfort.
During the curettage process, we use sterile solutions to flush out debris, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for gum tissue to recover. This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients with advanced gum disease and may need to be performed multiple times for effective management.
