Children with dental plaque can remove plaque on the gingiva through periodontal scaling and remove plaque under the gingiva through periodontal scraping as follows.
1. Periodontal scaling: Remove the plaque on the gums by hand instrument or ultrasonic scaler, and polish the surface of the teeth to delay the re-deposition of plaque, scaling is the most effective way to remove the plaque on the gums, which can make the gingival inflammation subside completely or reduce significantly.
2. Periodontal scaling: If subgingival plaque exists, a fine subgingival scaling device should be used to scrape it away, and root planing should be carried out at the same time to remove the bacteria and toxins embedded in the dentin, so as to control the progression of gingival inflammation as well as attachment loss.
It is recommended to visit a regular healthcare facility to receive professional treatment.
