Monitor your gum health

IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT PERIODONTAL DISEASE ASK YOUR DENTIST TO CREATE A “POCKET CHART”. A TINY PROBE TRACKS THE PROGRESS OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE BY MEASURING IN MM THE LOSS OF ATTACHMENT OF LIGAMENT FROM THE ROOT OF THE GUM TO THE ROOT OF TEETH. IF THE GAP INCREASES, A DENTAL HYGIENIST CAN DEEP-CLEAN TEETH AND THE CLEAN GUM CAN THEN REATTACH TO THE TOOTH.
