Periodontal disease is diagnosed by our dentist or hygienist through a series of tests.

First, we will check the depth of the gum pockets between your teeth and gums. Next, we will check for inflammation, bleeding, loose teeth and bone loss. Based on our findings, we will determine the stage of your periodontal disease and recommend your treatment.
