dental examinations
A dental examination involves a dentist inspecting your teeth, gums, and mouth to assess oral health. It typically includes a visual check for cavities, gum disease, and other issues, along with professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. The dentist may also take X-rays to see problems not visible to the eye, such as decayed teeth or bone loss. Regular exams help detect problems early, maintain oral health, and prevent future dental issues. Most visits are thorough yet comfortable, emphasizing preventive care to keep your smile healthy and strong.
