Question: At a dentist check-up what does upper right is a 1 mean?
..and lower left is a 1 etc? I had one yesterday & he was putting the metal probe thing in my gums lightly. Is it a scale for something?

Answers:

Yes, it is a scale for measuring the 'pocket' between the tooth and the gum. The probe has a measure on the tip. 1 is the best possible score.
