365 Seoul One Top Dental Clinic provides professional root planing as part of advanced periodontal therapy to treat gum inflammation and early-stage periodontal disease. By smoothing the tooth roots below the gumline, root planing removes bacteria and toxins while promoting healthy gum reattachment. With 365-day availability, patients can access timely treatment and follow-up care to restore gum health.

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.
