What is root planning (deep cleaning) and why is it done?

0

Root planning is a technique performed in a dental office to stop the adverse affect of periodontal disease. The procedure cleans below the gumline and smooth’s the roots. When the roots are smoothed, the gums will usually reattach to the root stopping the bacteria from spreading. This stops and reverses some of the damage done by periodontal disease.
