A comprehensive periodontal evaluation helps the
periodontist determine how healthy your gums and smile are. There is more to
the health of your mouth then just whether your gums bleed or not. This
comprehensive exam provides your periodontist with a way to see the entire
mouth and evaluate how to best provide for your treatment. This exam will
consist of looking at six different areas. Prior to your insurance benefits
running out, it is important to look at how healthy your mouth really is.
A comprehensive periodontal exam can let the periodontist
know exactly what type of treatment you need in order to improve your smile.
You may have gingivitis, periodontal disease or plaque that has built up. This
exam will help determine the best course of action and what you need in order
to get your smile back on track.
Bone can impact the way your smile works as well as the
ability to hold teeth. It is important to keep this in mind, especially if you
have missing teeth due to periodontal disease. Dr. Rice and her team recommend a
comprehensive exam to help evaluate the bone structure and whether you are a
candidate for an implant.
