Florida Probe Periodontal Charting System:
Do you have periodontal disease?  Signs of periodontal disease are mostly SILENT. It is a painless disease that starts with bacterial plaque that over time invades the gum line and quietly and painlessly erodes the bone.  On occasion you will notice that you have bad breath, redness of the gums, bleeding when you floss or brush. 
Don't wait for these signs- see your dentist or periodontist regularly.  They will measure your "pockets".  This is the only way to know for sure if you have periodontal disease.
At our office we use the state of the art technology, "Florida Probe" to gently measure your pockets, check for recession (root exposure), looseness of your teeth.  The comprehensive examination also includes a thorough "Risk Assessment", measuring risk factors including but not limited to medications, genetic risk, heart disease, and diabetes with periodontal disease.
