At Miami Lakes and Pembroke Pines Dental Health Centers, periodontal exams are an essential part of our routine check-ups. During the exam, we use a small probe to measure the space between your teeth and gums, called the sulcus. Ideally, this space should be no more than three millimeters deep, and there should be no bleeding. As periodontal disease progresses, these spaces tend to deepen, making regular monitoring crucial. After gathering all necessary information, our doctors will provide a diagnosis. Periodontal disease typically falls into the following stages:

  1. Gingivitis: The earliest stage, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. At this point, the condition is reversible with proper care.
  2. Slight Periodontitis: Mild bone loss starts to occur, and the spaces between the teeth and gums deepen slightly.
  3. Moderate Periodontitis: More significant bone loss, deeper pockets, and potential gum recession. Treatment is needed to prevent further progression.
  4. Advanced Periodontitis: Severe bone loss, deep gum pockets, and possible tooth mobility. Aggressive treatment is required to prevent tooth loss and manage infection.

Regular exams help us catch and treat periodontal disease early to protect your smile. Contact us to schedule your check-up today.
