Dental Exams

A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by dentist at your initial dental visit. The following will be included in the exam:

​​​

  • TMJ evaluation:

​          Check the muscles and joint to determine if the pain and discomfort is caused by muscular issues, a       

          misaligned bite, or if there area some more serious problems with the physical joint.

​

  • Oral cancer screening:

          Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums to look for signs of caner or precancerous

          conditions. The goal of oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater

          chance for a cure.

​

  • Radiographic examination:

          X-rays will be evaluated for detection of dental decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help

          determine tooth and root positions.​

​

  • Clinical examination:

          All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments. Sometimes a special machine

          called Diagnodent (check the Technology section) can be used to confirm dental decay. Intra-oral

          pictures will be taken for record keeping and to show the patient what they look like (one picture can tell

          thousand words)

 

  • Gum evaluation:

          Check the gums and bone around the teeth will be checked for any signs of periodontal disease. This

          exam involves taking six measurements around each tooth to measure the depth of the space between the

          tooth and gums. Additionally, any recession or mobility of the teeth will be measures.

 

  • Oral hygiene instruction:

          Your teeth and gum will show how you have taken care of them at home. Depending on how they look,

          dentist will suggest how to do brush, floss, and what kinds of toothpastes and brushes to use.
