Is a gum assessment worth it if I have no symptoms?+
It can be. Early gum disease is not always noticeable, and a baseline record makes future changes easier to detect.
What do healthy gums usually look like?+
They tend to be firm, without ongoing redness, swelling or bleeding when you clean. Measurements confirm whether the support beneath is also healthy.
Can gum disease develop even if I brush well?+
It can, because risk also depends on health, medications, tobacco, genetics and areas that are hard to reach. Regular checks help catch it early.
How often should healthy gums be checked?+
That depends on your risk and stability. A suitable recall can be suggested after your assessment.
Does gingivitis always progress?+
Not necessarily. Gingivitis can often improve with consistent plaque control and professional care, which is why catching it early is useful.
