It's no secret that good oral hygiene is essential for overall health. Unfortunately, many people forget the importance of maintaining their periodontal health. A Periodontal Assessment service is an essential tool for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and free from disease. 

What is a periodontal assessment?

A Periodontal Assessment service is a comprehensive evaluation of the gums and other structures that support your teeth. It is often performed by a periodontist, a dentist specializing in treating gum diseases and conditions and by a Dental Hygienist. The assessment helps to determine the severity of the disease and any associated risks.

The assessment involves several steps, including a visual exam, medical history review, and measurements such as periodontal probing and X-rays. During the visual exam, the periodontist or a Dental Hygienist check for signs of inflammation and gum recession, both of which are indicators of periodontal disease. In addition, the practitioner will measure the depth of pockets between the teeth and gums using a periodontal probe. X-rays may also be taken to examine the underlying bone structure and identify areas of decay, bone loss or infection.

By performing a thorough evaluation, your dental practitioner can determine the extent of your periodontal condition and provide the best treatment plan for your needs. A periodontal assessment is an integral part of preventive care, helping you to maintain healthy teeth and gums over the long term.
