This was helpful. I couldn't find a good explanation of the difference between root planing and scaling so, thanks!

I had my right side done for my SRP today, and am getting my left side done next week. I had braces as an adult so of course my teeth were harder to clean with them on, and of course when I was young and also til I became a dental assistant for a short period of time, I never flossed. It feels so nice that I’m finally on my journey to getting this addressed!

I went for a scaling and root planing, it took about 30 minutes to finish full mouth and he didn't plan or smooth, is that normal?
