Periodontics

With the evidence linking periodontal disease to an ever growing list of wider systemic health problems and prevalence of periodontitis on the rise, diagnosing and treating it and other gum diseases should be a focus of every dental practice. This is a process that often begins in the hygiene department with a periodontal assessment during the routine prophy appointment. The periodontal probe and charted pocket depths remain valuable tools, but today there is a wide range of periodontal products available to help find and treat the disease.

How do I educate patients about periodontal health?

As the research continues to mount linking oral health with systemic health, patients will be better informed about the importance of gum health. But it’s important to not assume they know all about this issue. Be sure to explain what you are doing while performing periodontal diagnostics and follow up with a lesson on how caring for their gums can help their heart and other overall health issues. Explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it can help patient comply with home care instructions and can positively impact their health.
