Question: Can scaling and root planing cause any bone loss or any change in face or facial bone structure?
Brief Answer:
It would not cause any change in facial structure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No, this cannot cause any damage or change to the bone structure.
These are non surgical procedures, there are no incisions made into the skin or bone that would result in any changes occurring.
It involves removing plaque from the teeth, planning involves smoothing out the area at the root of the teeth.
No cuts are made into the skin or mouth or teeth or bones of the face.
