What Happens During the Dental Exam?

The dental exam gives your dentist an opportunity to review your gums and teeth thoroughly. Mainly, the dentist is looking for any signs of trouble – be it excessive plaque or tartar buildup, gum disease, advanced periodontal disease, tooth decay, etc. To ensure no issues are overlooked the dentist will often request an x-ray, during your examination. 

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup and Oral Exam?

A dental visit usually begins with a hygienist closely examining your teeth. The oral inspection allows your dental professional to pay close attention to existing cavities, fillings, as well as any gum-related conditions. Dentists will often use this time to review your x-rays for any signs of trouble that may be invisible to the naked eye. Afterwards, the examination is followed up with a dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar build-up.
