Understanding periodontal diseases

Bacterial plaque develops over the surface of teeth, if this is not removed from your teeth, it can further lead to formation of tartar, or calculus and eventually lead to severe gum diseases. To determine whether you have periodontitis our dentists will:

Review your medical history and check your mouth thoroughly to understand the reason for gum issues, we also take in factors such as if you are a smoker or take certain medications that causes dry mouth.

We will take dental X-rays to check for bone loss

We will then assign a stage to periodontitis based on the severity.

Measure the pocket depth. In a healthy mouth, the pocket depth must be between 1 and 3 millimeters (mm),if it is deeper, this may indicate periodontitis.

We will also examine your mouth to look for plaque and tartar build-up

Our team will then chalk out a treatment plan to effectively treat the condition.
