What a Screening Involves
- Measuring the pocket depth around each tooth with a small probe
- Checking for bleeding, swelling, or gum recession
- X-rays if we suspect bone loss around the teeth
- A clear explanation of what we find and a plan tailored to you
Gingivitis (Early Stage)
Mild inflammation and occasional bleeding when brushing. Fully reversible with better home care and a professional cleaning.
Periodontitis (Advanced)
Gum and bone damage that needs specialized treatment, like deep cleaning or root planing, to stop it from progressing.
