Key Lab Markers

  • Periodontal examination (probing depths—measure pocket depth around each tooth, >3mm indicates gum disease, >5mm advanced, bleeding on probing), X-rays (bone loss around teeth—shows severity of periodontitis), Clinical exam (gum color, swelling, recession, tooth mobility), Bacterial testing (DNA testing—identifies specific pathogens, guides treatment), Vitamin C (deficiency causes bleeding gums), Vitamin D, CoQ10 (if available), Omega-3 Index, HbA1c (diabetes screening—gum disease worse in diabetics), Inflammatory markers (hs-CRP), CBC, Comprehensive metabolic panel, Screen for systemic connections: Cardiovascular (gum disease linked to heart disease—hs-CRP, lipids, consider cardiology consult if severe gum disease), Diabetes (check HbA1c, fasting glucose), Autoimmune (if suspected—ANA, RF, other autoantibodies)
