Dental Examination Procedure
Initial Dental Exam
The initial dental examination, which is the same for pediatric and adult patients, includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and dental treatment recommendations such as a continued care regime and restorative procedures.
Additional Evaluations
Dental X-Rays are also taken, which include the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Post-Exam Steps
After your exam, the dentist may make recommendations for your dental care based on the findings of the full dental evaluation. Additionally, you may also have a deep teeth cleaning done at the time of your exam, or opt-in for an oral cancer screening.
Have Questions?
You should schedule one as your first visit with a new dentist or as a routine check-up with your existing dental care provider. The primary purpose of this appointment is to check your teeth for damage, decay, and other underlying dental health issues. This would be an ideal appointment if you were seeking a second opinion on an issue or procedure.
