Curettage usually precedes the irrigation procedure. This is where a special instrument is used to scrape down the upper portion of the root of the tooth and clean or debride the tissue and area. This is usually done when a pocket is deeper than the patient can reach and has built up tartar and calculus causing tissue irritation. A solution of peroxide or a medicated solution is placed into a syringe and used to flush or "irrigate" the pocket area out. It’s sometimes a little uncomfortable; you can ask to be anesthetized during the procedure. The gum tissue will feel much better afterward and you should be able to keep it clean with good flossing, brushing and possible use of a proxy brush if the tooth has an open area that traps food. Hope I’ve been of some help and good luck with your procedure!
The solution the above person is referring to that is used to irrigate the canals after a root canal procedure is a sodium-hydrochloride solution, which is used with a syringe the same way but inside the canals of a tooth to disinfect them prior to completion of a root canal procedure. This solution is never used to flush or irrigate the tissue. These are two different procedures but very much the same. One is tissue and the outer roots of the teeth, the other is the inner canal of a tooth. Either can have the debridement and irrigation procedure each has different solutions that are used.

i don't think you did, plus you can call insurance and before you get done to make sure you are covered, and if not you can deny. but i have out of pocket expenses too. pd $35 to have wisdom tooth removed after insurance. i also need a $75 procedure done, and a bite guard run about $160. you can help also by getting extra insurance to help offset. Goodluck

Meticulous cleaning of teeth and gums. Good before any dental procedure.

Irrigation means the dentist is gonna clean the root canal walls.
well you can expect him to clean the walls of the rootcanal using EDTA or hydrogen peroxide mixed with saline.
this procedure is done to remove any debris present in the canal walls to help in getting a infection free seal of the root canal(obturation procedure).

HELLO, IF THEY ACTUALLY PLACED AN ANTIBIOTIC IN THE SCALED TOOTH GUMS AND TOLD YOU NOT TO FLOSS FOR 7 DAYS, THEN YOU'D BE RIGHTLY JUSTIFIED IN PAYING. IF THEY SIMPLY USED PERIDEX OR CHLOROHEXINE RINSE FOR THE SCALED TEETH, THIS WASHED OUT IN ABOUT 1 MINUTE AN THE CHARGES ARE REDUNDANT. THE DENTIST KNEW THEY WOULDN'T PAY FOR THIS, SO THEY CHARGED YOU. WITH THE TOTAL CHARGED FOR THE SCALING, THE IRRIGATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRATIS.
