Root Planing /Curettage

Root planing is a way of helping to halt gum disease. It involves ‘deep’ scaling, to clean parts of the teeth below the gumline, which cannot be reached with a toothbrush. Root planing cleans out the pockets, and removes the plaque and tartar from the tooth roots.

The dentist or dental hygienist uses two types of instrument

Hand scalers come in different sizes and shapes to reach different parts of the teeth. This is why you will see the dentist or hygienist changing instruments quite often.
Electric scalers use a tip that vibrates very fast in a stream of water. The water is removed from your mouth using a small suction device. A hand scaler is also used along with an electric scaler, to check whether the roots are completely clean.

After a tooth has been root planed, the pocket should shrink, making the gum sit closer to the tooth. You then need to be especially careful about cleaning the teeth above the gumline. Root planing will probably need to be repeated regularly.

Root planing takes longer than a normal scale and polish, and is often done under local anaesthetic. Your mouth might be treated in sections, at more than one visit.

Points to remember:

Root planing can help limit gum disease becoming worse and so prevent tooth loss.
Like scaling and polishing, root planing helps you to keep your teeth and gums clean at home. Dentists and dental hygienists cannot keep your mouth healthy by themselves. Your own cleaning is just as important.
To reduce the risk of your gum disease progressing, do not smoke, and eat a healthy, balanced diet.
