Local measures

Local Measures

Necrotising ulcerative gingivitis and pericoronitis should be treated with local measures in the first instance

• In the case of necrotising ulcerative gingivitis, carry out scaling and provide oral hygiene advice
• In the case of pericoronitis, carry out irrigation and debridement

N.B. Due to the pain associated with NUG, the patient may only be able to tolerate limited debridement in the acute phase.
