dental assessment
A dental assessment is a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth conducted by a dentist. It involves checking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, as well as assessing bite alignment and overall oral condition. The dentist may take X-rays to see below the surface and identify problems not visible to the eye. This assessment helps develop a personalized plan for maintaining or improving your oral health, addressing any concerns, and preventing future issues. Regular dental assessments are essential for catching problems early and ensuring your mouth stays healthy.
