🦷 Why Perio Charting Matters 🦷
Perio charting is an important part of your dental visit. Even if it doesn’t feel exciting in the moment! This detailed measurement helps us evaluate the health of your gums by checking pocket depths, gum inflammation, bleeding, and recession.
Why is this so important?
✔️ Detects gum disease early
✔️ Tracks changes in your gum health over time
✔️ Helps us create a personalized treatment plan
✔️ Protects your teeth, gums, and overall health
Gum disease often doesn’t cause pain until it’s advanced, which is why perio charting allows us to catch problems before they become bigger (and more costly) issues.
Healthy gums = a healthy smile 💙
