Periodontal Evaluations

Periodontal Evaluations

Periodontal evaluations provide a thorough assessment of the health of your gums and the supporting structures around your teeth. During the evaluation, our dental team will examine your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, recession, and other changes that may indicate gum disease.

The evaluation may include measuring the spaces between your teeth and gums, assessing tooth mobility, reviewing dental X-rays, and checking for bone loss or areas of plaque and tartar buildup. These findings help determine whether your gums are healthy or if you may benefit from preventive care or periodontal treatment.

Following your evaluation, your dentist will explain the findings and recommend a personalized care plan based on your needs. Regular periodontal evaluations can help detect gum disease in its early stages, protect the foundation of your smile, and support better long-term oral health.
