Is root planing required?

Question

Asked for Male, 36 Years

I have been suffering from bleeding gums the past 3-4 years. Normal cleaning with a dentist solves the problem for a month but it comes back again. Bad breath and dry mouth (during anxiety) are common too. Should I do deep cleaning or root planing? If yes, can I do it over 2 consecutive days when I am in Patna soon? I won't have more time.
