Well, believe it or not, it\u2019s one of the most common dental problems we can see if we go to a dental clinic.<\/p>\n<p>In the article that you will read below, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/\"><strong>Dental Clinic in Malaga<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>Gross Dentistas<\/strong>, we will talk about this disease and what happens when you have it.<\/p>\n<h2>What is dental curettage?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental curettage is a dental procedure to clean the roots of the teeth and gums. The goal is to remove bacterial plaque and tartar, which can cause periodontal disease (gum disease) if not removed properly.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure is <strong>performed with an instrument called curette<\/strong>, which is a stainless steel tool with a curved tip that is used to scrape and clean the roots of the teeth and gums. The dentist or dental hygienist<strong> will use the curette to carefully clean the roots <\/strong>of the teeth and gums, eliminating plaque and tartar.<\/p>\n<p>Dental curettage is performed in patients with periodontal disease and is an important <strong>part of treating<\/strong> it. It is an outpatient procedure and is performed with local anesthesia, usually <strong>not painful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the case that you feel some kind of pain, it may become normal in the case that you have a lot of bacterial plaque so your treatment will be longer than usual.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to follow the instructions for brushing and flossing given by the dentist after the procedure, and continue with good oral hygiene to prevent plaque and tartar buildup. I<strong>n addition, it is important to attend regular dental cleaning<\/strong> and evaluation appointments to monitor gum health and prevent the recurrence of periodontal disease.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs that may indicate that you need a dental curettage:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Red, swollen gums that bleed easily when brushing or flossing.<\/li>\n<li>Pain or tenderness in the gums or teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Persistent halitosis or bad breath.<\/li>\n<li>Bone loss around the teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Abnormally wide space between teeth and gums.<\/li>\n<li>Loose teeth or movements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to<strong> treat periodontal disease early<\/strong> to prevent periodontal disease progression and tooth loss.<\/p>\n<h2>How many times do you have to perform curettage treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>After the treatment has been done, it usually takes about 6 weeks for the gum to stick back to the structure of the tooth and recover the health it had. Once this period of time has passed, is when the <strong>periodontogram<\/strong> will be updated, to check and point if there is still plaque and see what kind of treatments can be applied in the future or even at the next visit.<\/p>\n<p>Each patient is given a<strong> different recommendation<\/strong>, as each case requires it. If you follow the steps indicated and there is a review every 6 months, you can keep periodontal disease under control without having to perform other more aggressive treatments for the tooth.<\/p>\n<p>Dental curettage is performed in <strong>patients with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/periodontics\/\">periodontal disease<\/a> <\/strong>and is an important part of treating it. It is an outpatient procedure and is performed with local anesthesia, usually not painful.<\/p>\n<p>Dental curettage sessions are usually <strong>1-4 sessions<\/strong>, but may have to be more or less depending on the bacterial plaque found. However, this should not worry you as your dentist will explain and recommend how many sessions you need.<\/p>\n<h2>We help you with your dental curettage<\/h2>\n<p>If you see that you have any of the symptoms we have mentioned above it is advisable that you come to <strong>visit our office<\/strong> so that we can solve your problem through a dental curettage.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to our long experience and <strong>great professionals<\/strong> we will leave you the perfect smile and you can say goodbye to those annoying pains.<\/p>\n<p>You can also come to visit us if you want to have another type of dental treatment. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/appointment\/\">Contact us<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard of dental curettage?
