Product Specifications

Goldman Fox vs Other Periodontal Probes

The Goldman Fox probe is preferred by many clinicians for its clearly defined markings and slim tapered tip, which provides excellent tactile sensitivity in deep or tight pockets. Compared to the Williams probe (marked at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10mm) or the UNC-15 probe (marked every 1mm up to 15mm), the Goldman Fox markings (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10mm) make it fast to read at a glance during busy charting sessions. It is a staple instrument for general dental hygiene appointments and full periodontal assessments alike.

3BS Dahabi supplies dental instruments to clinics across Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, and all of Canada. Free shipping on orders over $150 CAD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the markings on the Goldman Fox periodontal probe?

A: The Goldman Fox probe is marked at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10mm. The colour-coded or etched bands allow for quick, accurate pocket depth readings during periodontal charting without needing to count individual millimetre marks.

Q: What is the difference between a Goldman Fox probe and a Williams probe?

A: Both probes share the same marking positions (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10mm) but differ in tip design. The Goldman Fox has a flat, tapered tip that provides excellent tactile sensitivity. The Williams probe has a thin, round wire tip. Clinician preference typically determines which is used, and many practices stock both.

Q: Is this probe single-end or double-end?

A: This is a single-end Goldman Fox probe — it has one working end and a handle on the other. Single-end instruments are preferred by many clinicians for their lighter weight and cleaner feel during extended charting appointments.

Q: Can this probe be sterilized in an autoclave?

A: Yes. The Goldman Fox probe is made from stainless steel and is fully autoclavable. It can be sterilized in standard cassettes or sterilization pouches and withstands repeated autoclave cycles without degradation of the calibration markings.

Q: What is your shipping policy?

A: Free shipping on orders over $150 CAD across Canada. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days from our Montreal location.
