Full Dental Assessment

A comprehensive dental hygiene assessment helps evaluate your oral health, detect early signs of dental concerns, and guide preventive care to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Understanding Your Oral Health

A full dental assessment is an important part of preventive dental hygiene care. During this visit, we carefully examine your oral health to identify any signs of gum disease, inflammation, or other concerns that may affect your teeth and gums.

This assessment allows us to better understand your oral health condition and recommend appropriate hygiene therapy or preventive care tailored to your needs.

What Is Included in a Full Dental Assessment

Your dental hygiene assessment includes several important evaluations designed to provide a complete understanding of your oral health.

Periodontal Probing

Periodontal Probing

This assessment measures the depth around the teeth to evaluate the condition of the supporting bone and detect early signs of periodontal (gum) disease.
