While searching for signs of gingivitis is a part of a routine examination at JR Dental, it’s important not to wait if you are experiencing symptoms now.
When diagnosing gingivitis, one of our Jacksonville based dentists will measure the size of the pockets around your tooth. The severity of your gum disease is determined by how deep the pockets are. They will also examine your bite, the receding level of your gums, and if any teeth are loose.
Additionally, dental X-rays will help them see the severity of bone loss. If you are a returning patient at JR Dental or have access to previous records, they can study the changes in your bones over time. Our team is trained on state-of-the-art X-ray equipment to give our dentists a full and accurate picture of your oral health.
