CONTACT USWhat issues do dentists check for during a dental exam?
During a dental exam, dentists are assessing the patient’s teeth and gums for potential signs of several issues. They inspect for cavities, gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), signs of oral cancer, and examine the condition of existing dental work like fillings and crowns. They look at the alignment of the teeth and jaw and check for bite issues or TMJ disorders as well. X-rays are used to detect issues not visible to the naked eye, such as bone loss or impacted teeth.
Why are dental cleanings and exams necessary?
Regular dental cleanings and exams are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing may miss, which aids in the prevention of gum disease and tooth decay. Dental exams catch problems early, when they are easier and less costly to treat, preventing more extensive dental procedures and preserving overall health by reducing the risk of infections and other complications spreading from the mouth to other parts of the body.
Is a cleaning included in a dental exam?
Professional teeth cleanings and dental exams go hand-in-hand, as removing built up plaque and assessing your teeth and gums for potential issues should both ideally be done twice per year. Many insurance plans offer coverage for both a cleaning and exam. Our in-office dental discount plan includes biannual cleanings, X-rays, and dental exams, so patients who sign up for our membership can rest assured that their routine dental visits are completely covered.
