Root Planning
Root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that helps treat and prevent gum disease by smoothing the root surfaces of the teeth. It is often performed in conjunction with scaling to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line. This procedure is essential for patients experiencing early to moderate stages of gum disease, as it helps reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and promote healthier gums.
The process involves carefully cleaning the roots of the teeth to remove bacterial toxins and smooth rough areas where plaque and bacteria tend to accumulate. By doing so, root planing allows the gums to reattach to the teeth, reducing the risk of gum recession and tooth loss. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort, and it plays a crucial role in preventing the progression of periodontal disease.
After undergoing root planing, proper aftercare is essential to ensure healing and long-term success. Patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort for a few days, but this subsides with good oral hygiene practices and recommended medications. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, antibacterial mouth rinses, and maintaining regular dental visits are key to preventing reinfection. Avoiding smoking, sugary foods, and aggressive brushing can help protect the gums and promote faster healing. In some cases, additional treatments or maintenance cleanings may be required to fully restore gum health. With proper care, root planing can significantly improve gum stability, reduce inflammation, and support long-term oral health, ensuring a strong foundation for a healthy and confident smile.
