Root planing: your questions.
These answers remain general. At the consultation, we answer precisely for your situation.
Ask a questionWill my teeth be sensitive afterwards?
Sensitivity to cold is common at first. It generally lessens; a suitable toothpaste may be advised.
Why does the gum seem to recede?
As it settles down, the gum can appear lower. This is a sign that the inflammation is going down.
Will it need to be done again?
Not necessarily. Regular follow-up shows whether some areas need to be treated again.
