Curettage is an important periodontal procedure designed to clean out the infected soft tissue lining inside deep gum pockets. At North Face Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre, curettage is often combined with scaling and root planing to provide a thorough cleaning of the periodontal pockets where bacteria accumulate. By gently scraping away the inflamed tissue, curettage promotes healthier gum attachment to the tooth surfaces and reduces inflammation, swelling, and bleeding. This helps stop the progression of gum disease and encourages tissue healing. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia for patient comfort. Curettage improves the effectiveness of other periodontal treatments and supports better oral hygiene by making it easier to keep the gums clean. With the expert care provided by our periodontists, curettage is a reliable way to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
