Curettage
Curettage is a dental procedure used to clean the roots of the teeth and gums.
The aim is to remove bacterial plaque and tartar that can cause periodontal disease (gum disease) if not properly removed.
The procedure is performed using an instrument called a curette, which is a stainless steel tool with a curved tip 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 of the teeth and gums, removing plaque and tartar.
