PROTECT YOUR SMILE FROM GUM DISEASE
Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of a Healthy Smile
Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, but with early detection and proper treatment, it can be managed effectively. At Family Dentistry on Locke, we focus on prevention, early diagnosis, and personalized care to keep your gums—and your overall health—strong and protected.
What to Expect During a Periodontal Evaluation
Your dentist and hygienist will carefully assess your gum health and recommend the right course of treatment. This evaluation may include:
- Pocket Depth Measurement: Using a small probe, we measure the spaces between your teeth and gums to detect early signs of disease.
- Gum and Bone Health Check: X-rays and visual exams help identify bone loss and inflammation around your teeth.
- Plaque and Tartar Assessment: Detect buildup that can irritate gums and contribute to periodontal disease.
- Bleeding and Inflammation Review: Checking for areas where gums may be tender, red, or swollen.
- Treatment Planning: From deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to advanced therapies, we tailor treatment to your specific needs.
