periodontal assessment

**Periodontal Assessment**

A periodontal assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It involves measuring pocket depths, checking for signs of inflammation, gum recession, and bone loss to diagnose and monitor gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Regular periodontal assessments are essential for maintaining oral health, preventing tooth loss, and guiding appropriate treatment plans in dental care.
