Your first visit: What to expect
During your initial appointment at North Shore Periodontics, we take the time to understand your complete medical and dental history.
It is important for us to know about any medications you are taking or health conditions—such as heart disease, diabetes, or pregnancy—that could impact your periodontal care.
Our goal is to provide you with expert, personalised care for a healthy smile and lasting oral health.
Your consultation
Your first appointment is a comprehensive examination and includes:
Checking for gum recession
Assessing how your teeth fit together when you bite
Evaluating tooth stability (checking for loose teeth)
Measuring periodontal pockets using a gentle probe to determine gum health
Taking X-rays to detect issues below the gum line
