Routine Scaling & Polishing

This procedure involves the meticulous removal of plaque, tartar & stains around & below the gum line to the bottom of the periodontal pocket. This procedure is carried out in patients with gingivitis. It is a painless procedure.

Gum Curettage & Root Planning

This procedure involves smoothening the root surfaces of your teeth so as to remove the tartar that is accumalated below the gum level. The gum tissue can more firmly rettach to the roots that are clean & smooth to prevent tooth loss & sensitivity problems. Because this procedure goes deeper than a regular cleaning your mouth may be numbed or anesthetised by a local anesthetic. The cleaning may take two or three visits to complete. It is done in cases with mild periodontitis to prevent further deterioration.
