Sulcus Depth? 3mm!?
I went to the dentist a two weeks ago, when the hygenist checked my sulcus I was SHOCKED that I had 3mm which seem to be around my 1st and 2nd Mandibular Molars. I'm currently in school for Dental Assisting and I'm a little bummed out, we've been told that anything OVER 3 isn't good.
My question is, I'm twenty years old, only had a cavitie once in my entire life and that was when I was 5/6. Never really had any problems with plaque build up or calculas. Is it normal for someone so young to have 3mm? Should I really be worried? The hygniest used an ultra sonic scaler BEFORE checking my sulcus and she wasn't easy on me, she really hurt my gums. Maybe my gums were just swollen some??
I believe a measurement between 2 and 3mm is 'normal', and anything 4 and above either needs to be watched or addressed.
You're a 3, so don't worry too much about it. I'm sure if there was any need for concern, either the hygienist or the dentist would have said something...
...and good luck in your Dental Assisting career!
