Dental Examinations

Dental exams are an important step in early detection and treatment of gum disease and tooth decay. For a first time visit, the dentist will perform a comprehensive dental examination that is very thorough and can include:

A review of the patient’s medical history, especially drug and latex allergies
A complete series of x-rays
Oral cancer screening
TMJ(temporomandibular joint) evaluation
Orthodontic screening to check the positioning of teeth and jaw bite
Complete gum examination and pocket measurements(periodontal examination)
Complete examination of all teeth, crowns and fillings
Evaluation of wisdom teeth
Smile photographs and molds or impressions of your teeth, if necessary

During a regular checkup, the dentist will conduct a less extensive exam that will include many of the steps performed during an extensive exam, such as:

  • Review of any changes in the patient’s medical history since last visit.
  • Examination of tooth decay and damage using special instruments.
  • X-ray of any teeth that show signs of decay or wear.
  • Evaluation of gums for signs of periodontal disease.
  • Exam of existing restorations.
  • Screenings for oral cancer.

Your dentist or dental hygienist will also likely provide you with a quick reminder on proper home care and brushing techniques.
