Perio Exams

A full Perio Exam (periodontal evaluation) is a way to assess your periodontal health by examining your teeth, gums, bite and bone structure and risk factors. Using a small probe with tiny markings, a periodontal evaluation helps the Dental Hygienist to determine accurate information on the state of the health of your gums. This will let the Hygienist know how healthy your mouth is and also help determine any problem areas that may require additional treatment. Full periodontal evaluations should be completed yearly to ensure you are getting the best possible care for your mouth, as well as to compare results from year-to-year.
