GINGIVAL CURETTAGE
What is Gingival Curettage?
As a dentist, one of the treatments available for patients with deep periodontal pockets is gingival curettage. This procedure involves the removal of the gingival crevicular epithelium and offers similar benefits to scaling and root planing. Typically, it is recommended for patients whose periodontal pockets are more than 5mm deep. During the procedure, tartar and gingival plaque are removed, along with the soft tissues from the periodontal pockets by scraping the gingival walls. The exposed parts of the tooth’s root are also cleaned. To provide this treatment with precision and reduced discomfort, Dr. Stella Gonzalez offers laser gingival curettage procedures in the Miami area.
Benefits of Laser Gingival Curettage
This procedure offers several benefits, including a shorter healing time, an increased likelihood of saving your natural tooth, and minimally invasive removal of bacteria. When combined with good oral hygiene, it can help prevent the return of periodontal disease. It can comfortably and painlessly reduce the depth of periodontal pockets and is an excellent option for individuals who are allergic to anesthesia.
