Scrapping of teeth

Consists in scraping the surface of the teeth that are located more internally and that are covered by the gum in order to remove the plaque (contamination) that is deposited over time. It is usually recommended as a treatment for gingivitis, periodontitis or gum bleeding. On many occasions it eliminates bad breath. Gum inflammation promotes bone loss around the tooth and inward growing of the gum producing periodontal pockets. This treatment seeks to eliminate the periodontal pockets and prepare the dental surface for a new adhesion of the gum epithelium.
