      The Importance of Root Planing

      Before LANAP, a crucial step in the treatment process is root planing. Root planing is a non-surgical procedure that involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the tooth roots and smoothing the root surfaces. This process is essential for several reasons:

      Bacterial Removal:
      Root planing eliminates harmful bacteria that have accumulated around the tooth roots, reducing the risk of infection and further gum disease progression.

      Smooth Surface:
      Smoothing the tooth root surfaces makes it more challenging for bacteria to adhere to them, helping to prevent future infections and promote gum healing.

      Enhancing LANAP Efficacy:
      By ensuring a clean and smooth environment around the tooth roots, root planing enhances the effectiveness of the LANAP procedure.

      LANAP Procedure

      Following root planing, the LANAP procedure is a gentle and minimally invasive process that minimises discomfort and promotes faster healing compared to traditional gum surgery.
