Periodontal Philosophy
PURPOSE
Dental hygiene is an important factor in controlling disease, promoting health, and advocating for stable oral health.
WHY DOES IT EXIST?
Dental hygiene exists because a person can only control their oral health to a certain level, and some people require more involved treatment due to their overall health, habits, lack of care, and any factor that may alter their oral health.

VALUES
Community

Ethics
-
I do what is best for each patient, even when they are not paying attention/don't know what is best for the- i.e. re-evaluating periodontal condition and repeating 4341
EVALUATION
Staying true to myself by reassurance- this is a lifelong learning experience. Stay patient and be confident

WHAT
WHY
Increased inflammation, BOP, increased pocket depths/they are not responding to NSPT, bone loss/attachment loss
WHEN intervention happens if there is active disease/ the patient is not responding to NSPT. Typically the recare is every 3 months, however if the disease is progressing further and at a rapid state they may need to come in every 2 months.
HOW Evaluation of: BOP, inflammation, CAL, plaque, calculus. Utilize perioscope in pockets >5mm, try guided-biofilm therapy
