You deserve accurate and consistent diagnosis. This is why Dr. Shvartsman has invested in a unique technology to accurately and subjectively diagnose Periodontal (gum) disease in his office. The Florida Probe was invented at the University of Florida School of Dentistry. It is  computer controlled round ended ruler that  provides a gentle 15 grams of pressure to measure the gums for signs of gum disease. Many dentists and hygienists use too much force, causing unneccessary pain and discomfort to their patients. Since no two people use the same ampount of force there are always dicrepancies in diagnosis between doctor and hygienist and between two different hygienists. Thanks to the Florida Probe, comuter controlled periodontal diagnosis instrument, it is impossible to overdiagnose or underdiagnose periodontal disease in our office.
