Root planing is a specific dental treatment designed to remove bacterial plaque and tartar that have accumulated below the gum line on the roots of the teeth. Unlike a routine dental cleaning, which focuses mainly on the visible surfaces of the teeth, root planing thoroughly treats areas affected by periodontitis. This treatment is essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing periodontal disease from progressing.
At Le Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine in Paris, this treatment is provided to a high standard by dental professionals trained in periodontology.

Symptoms to look out for include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth and increased sensitivity.
