Periodontal Treatment

At NorthShore, our periodontal treatment begins with perio charting, where hygienists use specialized tools to measure gum health and tailor cleanings to each patient’s needs. Regular updates ensure ongoing monitoring and early detection of any changes in gum health or bone structure, optimizing comprehensive dental care.

Periodontal Treatment at NorthShore

Prior to your first dental cleaning with NorthShore, one of the hygienists will perform a procedure called perio charting to help identify periodontal disease, and determine the appropriate type of cleaning each patient needs. During this procedure, the hygienist will use a rounded ruler, called a periodontal probe, to measure the natural space between our teeth and gums. These measurements will then be updated on a yearly basis to help identify any changes that may occur in the health of the gums or supporting bone structure.
