With its recent announcement, Bear Creek Dental Center signals the availability of periodontal examinations - described by its team as an essential part of dental checkup visits.

Headed by local-area family dentist Dr. Jessie Mastin, Bear Creek Dental Center can learn a lot about one’s gums through the usage of a specialized dental instrument - and this test directs any subsequent steps.

“A periodontal probe is gently used to measure the sulcus - the pocket or space - between your teeth and your gums,” explains a Bear Creek Dental Center representative. “The depth of a healthy sulcus measures three millimeters or less and does not bleed. The periodontal probe helps indicate if pockets are deeper than three millimeters - as periodontal disease progresses, the pockets usually get deeper.”

Based on the results of this test, mainly assessing sulcus depth alongside the presence of any bleeding or inflammation, Bear Creek Dental Center is able to make a periodontal diagnosis. Early onset gum disease is known as gingivitis; telltale signs include gum irritation caused by a buildup of plaque.

Periodontitis is a more advanced form of disease, and this can vary in severity, says Bear Creek Dental Center. Often, presenting patients show significant gaps between their teeth and gums, filled with bacteria. As this disease evolves, the chances of bone loss and loose teeth increase dramatically - necessitating more extensive dental treatments.

Bear Creek Dental Center reiterates that dental care will be easier and less involved if gum disease is discovered at an early stage of progression. As such, its team recommends that patients arrange for periodontal examinations on a regular basis - multiple times a year if their oral health is lacking.

The Colorado Springs dental team is able to offer guidance and perform suitable treatments following periodontal diagnosis, regardless of how advanced the condition is. Often, a simple cleaning procedure will suffice - but dentists are also positioned to provide scaling and root planing care, a more thorough deep cleaning technique that reaches below the gum line.

Appointment requests are available to submit via Bear Creek Dental Center’s official website.
