Gum (periodontal) disease is a common condition that many people develop at some point in their lives. This degenerative condition is caused by plaque and calculus (tartar), which harbor harmful bacteria in your mouth. Regular removal of plaque and calculus is essential to prevent the accumulation of disease-causing bacteria in your mouth. Practicing good oral hygiene at home and attending regular dental appointments for cleanings and exams are key to preventing the development of gum disease.
Comprehensive dental examinations at our office include gum disease evaluations, also referred to as gum disease risk assessments. These examinations provide our dentist with the opportunity to assess your gums for any indications of periodontal disease, review your medical history, and discuss relevant factors to determine your risk of developing gum disease.
Throughout the periodontal evaluation, our dentist will measure the spaces between each tooth and the gum, assess gum recession or tooth looseness, and inspect for any signs of inflamed gum tissue. This thorough evaluation allows us to gauge the likelihood of developing periodontal disease and diagnose the condition during its earliest and most treatable stages.
