- Scan for oral cancer, by checking the face, oral cavity and throat.
- Scan for gum disease, checking the gums and jawbone, searching for large pockets, gaps or regression of the gums, all indications of periodontal disease.
- Check the teeth for cavities, using the latest innovations in dentistry.
- Take and investigate your yearly dental x-rays and images to be sure that our dentists diagnose any unseen decay, bone loss, cysts or tumors that could lead to painful conditions or tooth loss in the future.
- Confirm the integrity of your existing dental repairs such as fillings, crowns and implants.
- Plan the necessary processes for your dental prophylaxis (cleaning), which follows the examination.
Remember, semi-annual dental exams and dental prophylaxis are important first steps in maintaining good oral health and preventing tooth decay.
