Periodontal Maintenance

Initial Assessment
At your first appointment, the dentist or hygienist will examine your teeth and gums for signs of disease and assess the severity of the disease. This thorough periodontal (gum) assessment will include measurement of any gum recession, bleeding, gum pocketing and tooth mobility present.

They will assess how much plaque (soft deposits) and tartar (hard deposits) you have on your teeth and under your gums.
 
The dentist or hygienist will discuss your gum condition and how best to look after your teeth and treat any gum disease present.
