During your first visit, we will review your dental and medical history so that we know of any medication that may affect your periodontal care (this picture was taken pre-Covid pandemic, as patients and dentists now wear masks due to strict guidelines within the dental industry).
You will be given a complete oral and periodontal examination to determine if there is any gum recession and if any teeth are loose. We will measure the depth of any periodontal pockets to help assess the extent and severity of the problem. X-ray pictures or CBCT scans may be taken to reveal bone loss around your teeth.
You will be given a bespoke treatment plan to eliminate the infection around your teeth and under the gums; in advanced cases, surgical treatment may be necessary to gain access to deeper infection.
