Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums can be signs of gum disease. A periodontal evaluation at Kreuzer Family Dentistry in Midlothian helps us understand the health of your gums and the tissues supporting your teeth.
A periodontal evaluation assesses gum inflammation, the spaces between your teeth and gums, and the bone supporting your teeth. Gum disease can develop without obvious discomfort, so evaluation is useful even when your mouth feels fine.
We examine your gums, measure the pockets around your teeth, and review X-rays when needed. If we find signs of gingivitis or periodontitis, Dr. Kreuzer explains the findings and recommends treatment, ongoing care, or referral based on your needs.
