Happy New Year to all our lovely patients<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental hygiene questions answered<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to stay on top of our health, and that includes taking care of our oral hygiene. Did you know there are links between gum disease and other health conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia. That’s why it’s recommended to see your hygienist at least twice a year as a prevention measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deciphering the numbers<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all been there; sitting in the dental chair, safety glasses and bib on, mouth open wide and you hear your clinician say 3,0,2, 2,2,2. What does all this mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During your dental checkup and hygiene visit, your clinician will perform a Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) that divides your mouth into six sections and assigns a score between 0 and 4 to each based on the condition of your gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Code 0 : Healthy gums<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Code 1: Bleeding gums ( Gingivitis)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Code 2: Presence of tartar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Codes 3 : Moderate Gum disease (Periodontitis)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Code 4 : Advanced Gum disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please check our blog for information and best to manage each condition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our hygienists will work with individuals to remove deposits from the teeth (both above and below the gum lone) and achieve excellent home care habits with regular supportive periodontal maintenance sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
