Oral Examinations

Oral examinations are assessments where a professional, such as a dentist or doctor, evaluates a person's mouth, teeth, gums, and oral tissues. They involve visually inspecting, feeling, and sometimes testing the oral cavity to check for health issues, cavities, infections, or other concerns. The process helps diagnose dental or oral problems early, guiding appropriate treatment. These exams are routine parts of dental care and often include checking for oral cancer, assessing oral hygiene, and discussing any discomfort or symptoms the patient may be experiencing.
