The dental treatment procedure to prevent gingival problems from advancing is called curettage. People often mistake scaling for curettage. The difference between scaling and curettage is this: While scaling is the process of removing tartar on visible surfaces, curettage is the process of cleaning the infection that occurs 6 mm deep in the tooth, that is, the infection that has started to spread to the root of the tooth
If gingivitis is advanced, curettage is applied. Swelling or bleeding in the gums requires curettage. The dentist performs scaling before starting the curettage procedure. The curettage process, which starts with local anesthesia, continues with small incisions in the gums. Inflamed parts are cleaned by entering through the gum incisions and the curettage process is ended by closing the incisions. The patient does not feel pain during curettage treatment.
Curettage is performed to avoid causing much serious gingival problems. Curettage prices vary according to the dentist. Due to the law, we cannot give prices on our website, we recommend you to call us for a successful curettage procedure.
