During your first visit, Dr. Cristoforo will review your complete medical and dental history with you. You will then be given a complete oral and periodontal exam. Dr. Cristoforo will examine your teeth and gums, checking for signs of disease. Dr. Cristoforo will also measure your periodontal “pocket depths” by using a small measuring instrument, much like a ruler. These readings help Dr. Cristoforo assess the health of your gums. X-rays (radiographs) may also be taken to check for possible bone loss.
