Curettage Treatment

What is Curettage Treatment?

Curettage treatment is a cleaning method applied to treat advanced gum disease infections. In this procedure, the dentist cleans plaque, tartar, and infected tissues beneath the gums. Curettage ensures the control of gum diseases by performing a deep cleaning down to the root surfaces. It is an effective method to heal gum inflammations, prevent gum recession, and reduce the risk of tooth loss.

Application Areas of Curettage Treatment

Curettage treatment is necessary in the following cases:

• Advanced Gum Diseases: Curettage is performed when gum inflammations and infections progress to advanced stages.
  
• Tartar Accumulation: Applied in patients with heavy plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and gums.
  
• Gum Recession: When gums recede and roots are exposed, bacteria under the gums must be removed.
  
• Gum Bleeding and Swelling: Persistent gum bleeding and swelling can be treated with curettage.

Steps of Curettage Treatment

• Anesthesia Application: Local anesthesia is applied to prevent pain during the procedure.
  
• Tartar Cleaning: The dentist removes plaque, tartar, and infected tissues beneath the gums, smoothing the root surfaces.
  
• Subgingival Cleaning: A deep cleaning is performed to remove all bacteria and plaque beneath the gums.
  
• Healing Process: After the cleaning, the gums start healing and regain a healthy appearance.

Benefits of Curettage Treatment

✔ Restores Gum Health: Helps gums heal and return to a healthy state.
✔ Removes Tartar and Plaque: Prevents bacterial buildup by eliminating plaque and tartar.

Aftercare of Curettage Treatment

• Maintain Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and antiseptic mouthwash are recommended after curettage.
  
• Dental Check-ups: Regular follow-ups are important to monitor the healing process.
  
• Consume Soft Foods: Eating soft foods for a few days after treatment supports healing.
