A member asked:
Please help! what is the frequency for root planning for periodontal disease?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: There are so many variables that factor in to the frequency, including home care, depth of pocketing, and health of the patient. The frequency for your problem needs to be determined by your dentist/periodontist. There is no one answer for everyone.

Individual need: The interval is typically 90 days but the frequency is determined by individual need.
