What Happens During A Dental Exam?



There are two parts to a dental exam. The first usually involves cleaning and the second is an examination to check for cavities, plaque build-up, tartar, and other signs of dental issues. The exam also thoroughly checks the gums to monitor whether they are healthy or there are signs to indicate gum diseases.

This checkup usually extends to the tongue, throat, face, head, and neck to check for abnormalities, growth, redness or other possible signs of cancer. Regular dental exams help maintain high levels of oral hygiene. These visits help to keep your teeth clean, treat any oral problems from the beginning and help you maintain stronger teeth and healthier gums.

Regular dental visits and examinations should always be included in your schedule, irrespective of how much you work or travel. Dental examinations should begin as early as possible and it’s recommended to take your kids for checkups regularly too.

If you are scheduling an exam for a child, we offer a holistic approach to dentistry for kids that caters to the individual needs of each patient.



Benefits Of A Dental Exam

Medical Questions


There are times we go through minor dental issues, nagging pain and irritation we believe we can live with. These problems eventually grow bigger and create complications with dental health. During your dental visit, you can ask us about the problems you are facing and find a solution before it grows into something larger.


Investigation


Dental exams involve complete investigation of the mouth. These also include which can help detect issues the naked eye will miss. Although you may not require a complete mouth x-ray at every dental exam, if your dentist sees the need to get one done it can help you save on a lot of money by nipping a problem in the bud.


Cleaning


A dental exam also involves cleaning of the teeth. This cleaning focuses on clearing out tartar build-up and plaque which is responsible for tooth decay and gum diseases. Regular cleaning helps protect tooth enamel, keeping them stronger, shinier and healthier. We may also need to place a crown over decaying or damaged teeth. We offer a wide variety of dental crown materials to our patients.
