What is a General Dental Examination?
A general dental examination is a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health conducted by your dentist. During this examination, your dentist will follow these steps:
- Review of Medical History: Your dentist will ask about your general health and any existing conditions. This also includes information about any medications you are currently taking.
- Oral and Dental Examination: Your teeth, gums, tongue, inner cheeks, palate, and throat will be carefully examined. The dentist will look for cavities, gum disease, signs of infection, or other abnormalities.
- X-rays: If necessary, X-rays will be taken to get a more detailed view of your teeth and jawbone condition.
- Teeth Cleaning and Plaque Control: Plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth will be cleaned. This is crucial as plaque buildup can lead to gum disease.
- Gum Health Check: The dentist will check for gum recession, inflammation, or any signs of gum disease. Gum health is an essential part of overall oral health.
- Oral Hygiene Education: You will be provided with guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques. Recommendations on which toothpaste and oral care products to use will also be given.
- Planning and Recommendations: Based on the examination results, necessary treatment plans will be made, and recommendations will be provided. This may include fillings, root canals, tooth extractions, or other dental treatments.
