Root Surface Debridement Don'ts:

• Avoid delaying or skipping dental appointments for root surface debridement and follow-up care, as untreated periodontal disease can progress and lead to tooth loss and other oral health problems.
• Do not attempt to self-treat periodontal disease with home remedies or over-the-counter products without consulting a dental professional, as this can worsen the condition and delay appropriate treatment.
• Refrain from smoking or using tobacco products, as they can impair the healing process and increase the risk of complications after root surface debridement.
