Because I always stay up late, I have gum pain. It's very uncomfortable. I just had a subgingival scaling. I'd like to share with you whether subgingival scaling will hurt.

Does subgingival scaling hurt

First of all, subgingival curettage generally does not take anesthetics. Periodontitis is the first killer of oral cavity, usually due to the long-term adverse stimulation of subgingival calculus, which leads to gingival inflammation, atrophy, periodontal pocket formation, alveolar bone absorption, and then tooth loosening and displacement. There will be some pain, but this treatment effect is very good, if the injection of anesthetic, it will lead to the feeling of teeth falling off.

Secondly, subgingival scaling is to clean up subgingival calculus and effectively stop the continuous development of periodontitis. During the curettage period, any discomfort reaction can be timely communicated with the doctor. In daily life, we should pay attention to develop good oral hygiene habits and return visit regularly.

Finally, when suffering from periodontitis, plaque should be controlled, local irritants should be removed, and calculus should be removed by curettage. After scraping the subgingival calculus, the pathological granulation on the inner wall was dipped into the periodontal pocket with a probe and corrosive drugs (such as iodophenol) to achieve the therapeutic effect. If the periodontal pocket is not deep, the periodontal pocket can be excised. If the periodontal pocket is deep, the inner wall curettage, excision of new attachment, flap turnover and so on can be used. Fix loose teeth to form periodontal splint, pay attention to the control of plaque, and extract the diseased teeth that cannot be retained. In addition, we can also choose drugs to promote periodontal tissue repair and auxiliary improvement of inflammation, such as yazhouning, traditional Chinese medicine, vitamins, metronidazole, spiramycin and so on.
