Dental Instruments - Diagnostic - Probes

A dental probe is one of the most important diagnostic tool for: rudimentary assessment of tooth surfaces.

It helps to identify calculus and decayed areas. Dental pocket depth measurements are achieved by use of a dental “probe”, which is a diagnostic instrument. Six times, three on the outside and three on the inside, each tooth I measured. The pocket depth was measured by placing the probe gently into the bag and noting how far it entered. It has millimeter-scale marks along one side that serve as rule lines. Those numbers you hear are the depths of your pocket in millimeters.

Maybe you will see or hear your dentist repeating this number over time. For example, if he or she say something like above five up to ten, then they recommend scaling and root planing or something more comprehensive.

Probing Detects Dental Issues Early:

Patients go to their dentists often to find diseases in their mouths that they don't know about at all. Even those who visit dentists regularly may not notice subtle changes in gum health.

Your dentist’s unaided eye can miss some health changes that can make your gums susceptible to plaque buildup and tartar, which can cause gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Thankfully though with X-rays and dental examination we can catch these changes earlier said Dr Gupta from Dentistry.co.uk . Once this illness progresses, visual evidence such as plaque falls down along the side of the teeth deepening into natural "pocket" between ridge line gum and enamel. More harm begins when other bacteria have access to soft tissue fibers along exterior part of roots as gaps widen. This may cause bone loss that may need extraction of tooth through surgery.
