     BONE DOES NOT GROW BACK... ONCE IT'S GONE ... ALL YOU CAN DO IS 'STOP' FROM LOSING MORE!    We call these appointment, PERIO MAINTENANCE.  

1-3 mm considered normal:   Standard of care is usually 6 month professional cleaning (prophylaxis, procedure D01110)

4 mm:   Consider special homecare tools.    HEALTHY GUMS DON'T BLEED!!    If you have bleeding as you floss or during hygiene treatment ... consider one additional hygeine treatment annually.   PREVENTION IS BEST!!

5+ mm:  You cannot effectively remove bacteria beyond 3 mm.   Like other areas inour bodies, we know that bacteria creates infection and if left untreated it spreads.   

TREAT AND MAINTAIN so you DON'T LOOSE MORE BONE ----   REQUIRES THOROUGH REMOVAL OF BACTERIA ON BONE AND GUMS then ADVANCED HYGIENE TREATMENT every 3 months.    After a year, communicate with your Doctor and Hygiensit... perhaps your conditions can be MAINTAINED with 4 month professional care.    

  Please obtain your PERIO PROBING records & ACCOUNT LEDGER from previous dental team.   Ideally you will obtain a miinimum of 10 years.   The dental office staff know you have a right to be sent COPIES that can quickly be emailed.
