What is a dental exam?
Although you take great care of your smile at home, you can’t be thorough enough to notice all the problems in your mouth. In fact, some problems are so innocuous that only a professional can spot them before they become full-blown.
A dental exam is a simple yet critical procedure that should be done every six months. During an exam, the dentist visually and physically examines your mouth for signs of decay, gum infection, and other issues. Sometimes, the dentist uses X-rays to unearth issues beneath the gum line.
What to expect during the first dental exam
As mentioned, a dental exam is a painless procedure that only takes about 45 minutes. So, whether you are keeping updated with your oral health or it’s your first dental exam in life, you’ve nothing to worry about a dental exam at our office.
This is what you can expect in your first dental exam.
- Getting to know you and your goals: Once you enter our doors, you’ll be warmly received by our reception team and taken to a comfortable room where we’ll take details of your medical history, current medication, dental concerns, goals, etc. We’re eager to learn more about you to tailor a personalized treatment plan
- Full mouth exam: It’s your first time with us, so expect us to be thorough during the first exam to create a detailed record of your oral health, which will be tracked and monitored over time. The exam involves the dentist visually examining your teeth, gums, existing dental work, etc. If it’s your child, we’ll check their oral growth and development to ensure it’s progressing as expected
- Digital X-rays: Our visual dental exam can only reveal problems above the surface of the gum line. For deeper issues beneath the gum line, we offer dental X-rays to unearth problems like bone loss, impacted teeth, and cysts that can’t be spotted by the naked eye
- Dental cleaning: After your exam, our dental hygienist will use special skills and tools to remove built-in plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas in the mouth. The final step is to polish your teeth for a shiny-looking finish
- Treatment plan: Should we find problems during your dental exam, we’ll give you treatment options and help you decide on a treatment plan that suits your budget and timelines
