subgingivale detartatie, wortelcurettage
Explanation:
A curette is the tool dentists use to scrape your plaque away, hence 'curettage'. 'Subgingivale detartatie' is perhaps the better term, but - pardon the pun - is more of a mouthful.

-> "3.wortelcurettage - 'root planing' met behulp van curettes: hierdoor wordt subgingivaal tandsteen verwijderd, alsook geinfecteerd cement"

-> "Een parodontale behandeling bestaat uit: - spoelen - supragingivale detartratie - subgingivale detartatie en currettage (wortel gladmaken - root planing)"

agree  AllisonK (X): if it is in fact 'planing' instead of 'planNing' as the asker has entered in the question...:)
7 hrs
  -> I find this strange too, but many dentistry websites refer to 'plaNNing'.

agree  Kate Hudson (X): if it is planing, then your first answer is the correct one (my dad was and my son is a dentist)
7 hrs
  -> I am no dentistry expert, so I'll take their word for it...
