the perfect perio soap

If you've ever had our Arnett help you with perio diagnosis you know he's looking for five things.

1. Bleeding
2. Tooth mobility
3. Clenching and grinding
4. Oral facial pain
5. Any other problem we haven't addressed

He also makes a big point of mentioning that patient "uses floss" but does not necessarily floss. You will also want to include the patient's hygiene habits in the subjective portion of your soap.

If you use this outline for the subjective portion of your Perio soap and the pre-populated portion for the objective, assessment, and plan parts they should be pretty impressed. Good luck
