Hi, has anyone ever had this procedure, deep scaling and root planning. My dentist made it sound pretty simple but I would like to know from someone who has had it done. WHat is it like during and after the procedure. Any pain?
Yeah, I had it done a few years ago and it was no big deal. My dentist did it in two visits (half of my mouth each visit). Just felt a little sore afterwards, but nothing major. Good luck!
Scaling and root planing is nothing more than a deep cleaning usually done with local anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. There can be some post procedure soreness but usually no more than a couple days. It is pretty simple and very routine.
