Dental probe numbers refer to the measurements taken during periodontal probing, which assess the depth of the gum pockets around each tooth. These numbers, usually ranging from 1 to 3 millimeters for healthy gums, indicate the distance between the top of the gum tissue and where it attaches to the tooth. Higher numbers, typically 4 millimeters or more, may suggest gum inflammation or periodontal disease, requiring further evaluation and potential treatment.
