Root planing is a deep cleaning treatment that smooths tooth roots to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar. It reduces gum inflammation, prevents tooth loss, eliminates bad breath, and promotes long-term gum health. EZ Dental Care ensures treatments are comfortable, accessible, and patient-focused, with convenient locations in Bedok North and Geylang Bahru.

How Can Root Planing Improve Gum Health?

Root planing, also known as deep cleaning, targets severe gum disease. Gum disease causes inflammation, leading to separation of the gums from tooth roots. This creates periodontal pockets, which are difficult to clean and harbour bacteria.

If untreated, gum disease can cause tooth sensitivity, bad breath, gum recession, and ultimately tooth loss. Root planing addresses these problems by cleaning below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces, allowing gums to reattach firmly to teeth.

At EZ Dental Care, our root planing service is designed to:

Reduce bleeding, swelling, and gum inflammation.
Protect tooth roots from decay and sensitivity.
Support long-term oral and overall health.
Provide a comfortable, patient-friendly experience.

How Our Root Planing Service Works

Root planing is precise and methodical, focusing on both gum and root health. Our approach involves several steps:

1. Assessment and Preparation

Your dentist examines gums and teeth to locate problem areas.
X-rays may be taken to assess bone loss and measure pocket depths.

2. Local Anaesthesia

Anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during treatment.

3. Scaling

Plaque and tartar are removed from above and below the gumline using hand tools or ultrasonic instruments.
This step is crucial to eliminate bacteria causing inflammation.

4. Root Planing

Tooth roots are smoothed to remove residual bacteria and promote healing.
Smooth surfaces allow gums to reattach and reduce pocket depths.

5. Antibiotic Application (If Needed)

Antibiotics may be applied locally or prescribed orally to prevent infection.

6. Follow-Up and Maintenance

A complete session usually takes 1–2 hours, and treatment may be split across visits depending on severity.

Regular dental check-ups and home care are essential to maintain results.

Is Root Planing Right for You?

Consider deep cleaning if you notice:

Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing.
Persistent bad breath.
Receding gums exposing tooth roots.
Loose or sensitive teeth.

Early intervention can prevent severe periodontitis, which may require surgery.
