Your gums are just as important as your teeth. Gum disease is a top cause of adult tooth loss, which is why getting a periodontal check-up is extremely important to your overall health. During our initial exam, we will check the health of your teeth, gums, bite, and bone structure to determine what course of action may be necessary to restore their health. We also perform perio-charting, which tracks the depths of your gum pockets over time and allows the dentist to evaluate the health of your teeth and gums.
