Comprehensive Gum Disease Evaluation
Process
During your gum disease evaluation in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Dr. Esmael Valdez performs detailed periodontal charting to measure pocket depths around each tooth. A visual examination reveals signs of inflammation, bleeding, and gum recession. Digital X-rays help assess bone levels and detect underlying infections.
