CAN HYGENTIST BE INACCURATE

I WAS WONDERING CAN YOUR HYGENTIST PROBE STICK NUMBERS BE INACCURATELY DONE AND NUMBERED WRONG, THEREFORE CAUSING YOUR TOOTHN POCKETS TO BE MORE THAN THEY REALLY ARE?

Anonymous Patient

Hygienists can make mistakes, just like the rest of us. There is a "normal" amount of difference in probing numbers from one person to another and that is usually around 1mm. Another factor that can cause an inaccurate number is if the probe is inserted into your gums at an incorrect angle. This may incorrectly inflate the numbers a bit. The other thing to consider is that your dentist does not just use the probing numbers to determine the health of your gums and if you have gum disease. Your dentist also takes into account the appearance of your x-rays and the amount of plaque and calculus you have attached to your teeth. If your hygienist is purposefully inflating your probing numbers, then that is against the law and I would hate to think someone is knowingly doing that.
