Periodontal Probing

I enjoy this the most out of a dental exam. This is when the dentist finds out if I am properly flossing and if I am about to get punished or not.

Through the years of performing examinations, I have found an increasing number of women that do prefer the Doctor to open her lips and look at her teeth and gums.

I really enjoy this as well. There's a lot of interesting sensations and feelings that come with a good probing. Hearing the numbers is fun too.

A few years ago my pockets got into 7 mm range your not suppose to have more then a 3mm depth. Never been a constant with flossing and if I skip a year of flossing I end up with a deep cleaning. Last few years I have needed gum grafts .

Eeek! That sounds terrifying to me. Both because of the pain and what that could do to my wallet. That's why I always floss. I guess I am lucky. Because sometimes people do all they can but have bad genetics and can't help it.

I hope your gums are healthy and happy now!
