When tartar builds up below the gumline, it can inflame the gum and damage the support of the tooth. Curettage is the deep cleaning that removes that plaque and the affected tissue from the tooth roots.
What is it for? It slows the progression of gum (periodontal) disease and helps the tissue heal and reattach better to the tooth.
What does it include? It's generally done by quadrant, under local anesthesia, scaling and smoothing the root surface.
Who performs it? It's carried out by the dentist, and sometimes the orthodontist refers to the periodontal area. A checkup of your gums will show whether you need it; don't hesitate to ask your physician.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
