Have you ever heard of dental curettage<\/strong>? 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

In the article that you will read below, our Dental Clinic in Malaga<\/strong><\/a>, Gross Dentistas<\/strong>, we will talk about this disease and what happens when you have it.<\/p>\n

What is dental curettage?<\/h2>\n

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

The procedure is 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 will use the curette to carefully clean the roots <\/strong>of the teeth and gums, eliminating plaque and tartar.<\/p>\n

Dental curettage is performed in patients with periodontal disease and is an important part of treating<\/strong> it. It is an outpatient procedure and is performed with local anesthesia, usually not painful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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. In 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
