Comprehensive Care for Optimal Oral Health
At Coast Periodontics and Laser Surgery, we believe that proactive periodontal care is the cornerstone of a healthy, long-lasting smile. Our periodontal examination is designed to thoroughly assess your gum health, detect early signs of gum disease, and provide you with a personalized plan to maintain optimal oral health.
What to Expect During Your Periodontal Examination
Assess Gum Health
We carefully examine your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, and recession, which may indicate periodontal disease.
Measure Periodontal Pockets
Using a periodontal probe, we measure the depth of spaces (pockets) between your teeth and gums. These measurements help us gauge the health of your gums and underlying bone structure.
Check for Plaque and Tartar Build-up
Accumulated plaque and tartar can harbor harmful bacteria that contribute to gum disease. We inspect your teeth for these deposits and recommend treatment if needed.
Evaluate Bone Structure
X-rays and other diagnostic tools may be used to assess the bone supporting your teeth, allowing us to detect any signs of bone loss.
Examine for Other Oral Health Issues
Beyond gum health, we look for other indicators of oral health issues, such as teeth grinding, misalignment, and oral lesions.
Why Periodontal Examinations Are Essential
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, often progresses silently, with minimal symptoms in its early stages. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health issues, including tooth loss and an increased risk of systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
