Root Planing Paris

Make an appointment

What is root planing?

Root planing is a specific dental treatment aimed at removing bacterial plaque and tartar accumulated below the gum line, on the roots of the teeth. Unlike a simple dental cleaning, which primarily focuses on the visible surfaces of the teeth, root planing addresses the areas affected by periodontitis in depth. This treatment is essential for maintaining gum health and preventing the progression of periodontal diseases. At the Madeleine Dental Practice, this treatment is particularly relevant due to the high quality of care available and the presence of numerous specialists in periodontology.

When to undergo root planing?

Root planing is recommended in several cases, particularly:

  • Periodontitis: When gums are inflamed and bone loss begins.
  • Gingivitis: If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis.
  • Periodontal pockets: Deep and filled with tartar, requiring thorough cleaning.

Symptoms to watch for include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, tooth loosening, and increased sensitivity.

How does a root planing session proceed?

Before starting your root planing, it is important to understand the steps of the treatment to ensure a stress-free experience. The duration and number of sessions vary based on the severity of the periodontal condition. Multiple sessions may be needed for comprehensive treatment. Here’s how a root planing session unfolds at the Madeleine Dental Practice:

Initial consultation

The periodontist evaluates the condition of your gums and diagnoses the level of periodontal disease.

Each patient receives a care plan tailored to their specific case.

  • Scaling: Removal of tartar and plaque using curettes and ultrasound.
  • Local anesthesia: To ensure patient comfort and safety.
  • Root smoothing: The roots of the teeth are smoothed to prevent plaque reaccumulation.
  • Disinfection: Use of antibacterial agents to disinfect treated areas.

Expected results after root planing include a reduction in gum inflammation, a decrease in periodontal pockets, and improved overall oral health. For optimal healing, it is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your dentist, such as maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding hard or sticky foods for a few days. Regular follow-ups are recommended to monitor gum health and prevent any recurrence of periodontal disease.

Initially, I made an appointment with Dr. Badaoui for composite or veneers to slightly lengthen my incisors, as I thought it was the only way to achieve what I wanted. He naturally and honestly advised me to undergo orthodontic treatment for an optimal and long-lasting result. I then opted for this solution with Dr. Rocher Balog, who precisely met my expectations. Four months later, after a whitening treatment, here I am with a perfect smile 👌🏼 I thank her for her dedication; it is rare to come across passionate practitioners who listen to and genuinely care about perfectly satisfying their patients. A big thank you to the entire highly committed team, from the secretaries to the always-smiling and welcoming assistants, it's such a pleasure. (And the location is simply sublime…)

I have undergone several treatments at this dental practice in Madeleine and with several practitioners. I first had a gum graft with Dr. Guigné, then I did Invisalign teeth alignment, and finally, I got a teeth whitening from Dr. Badaoui. The quality of service is exceptional; it's so rare to feel so pampered in an atmosphere of absolute kindness. The approach of the practice and the practitioners is not at all commercial; the location is stunning, and the results are outstanding... So I can only recommend it with great confidence. If you are looking for a place that meets these criteria, then go for it! Thanks also to Carolina and the secretaries whose kindness and professionalism should not be overlooked in this feedback about my experience.
