What Is Root Planing?
Root planing is a deep-cleaning periodontal procedure that smooths rough root surfaces underneath the gums. Smoother roots help gums heal, reduce inflammation, and prevent bacteria from reattaching. It is often performed together with scaling as part of non-surgical periodontal therapy.
