Root planing in Paris

What is root planing?

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.

When is root planing needed?

Root planing is recommended in several situations, including:
  • Periodontitis: When the gums are inflamed and bone loss has begun.
  • Gingivitis: If it is not treated promptly, it can progress to periodontitis.
  • Periodontal pockets: Deep pockets containing tartar that require thorough cleaning.

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

What happens during a root planing appointment?

Before beginning root planing, it is helpful to understand each stage of the treatment so that you can feel at ease throughout.

Root planing treatment

  • Scaling: Tartar and plaque are removed using curettes and ultrasonic instruments.
  • Local anaesthetic: Used to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety.
  • Root smoothing: The roots of the teeth are smoothed to help prevent plaque from building up again.
  • Disinfection: Antibacterial agents are used to disinfect the treated areas.

Results and aftercare following root planing

Expected results following root planing include reduced gum inflammation, shallower periodontal pockets and better overall oral health. For optimal healing, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist, such as maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding hard or sticky foods for a few days. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to monitor the condition of your gums and prevent periodontal disease from recurring.
