A closer look at gum health
Root planing may be part of care for people with periodontal concerns. It involves more focused cleaning of root surfaces below the gumline when clinically indicated.
Your needs guide the plan
- Assessment of gum concerns and hygiene needs.
- A clear explanation of recommended care.
- A discussion of comfort and possible sensitivity.
- Follow-up and dentist or specialist referral when needed.
