What to Expect During Your Dental Exam

During your dental exam, we’ll assess your mouth and teeth to check your risks for oral health issues.

We will need to gather some information from you, including any medical diagnoses, medications you’re taking, and problems you’ve noted regarding your oral health. We’ll also check in about some lifestyle factors, including whether or not you smoke, any allergies you have, and if you have any anxiety about coming to the dentist.

Some of the things we’ll evaluate include:

Your teeth’s spacing and bite
Signs of decay or tooth disease
Signs of cavities
Any Evidence of teeth grinding or clenching
The health of your temporomandibular joint
The state of your gums

We may also need to take X-rays of your teeth.

Smile Bright with Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings are an essential part of your overall oral care. They clean your teeth in a way that flossing and brushing alone can’t manage.

During your cleaning, we will:

Assess the physical health of your gums
Remove stubborn plaque and tartar
Polish your teeth
Apply a fluoride treatment

Our dental team is here to help keep your teeth and gums healthy!
