Comprehensive Oral Examination
A comprehensive oral examination is a detailed evaluation of a patient’s oral health.
The procedure may involve digital x-rays, an assessment of the bite, jaw, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), gum disease evaluation, and oral cancer screening. Dentists use this examination to identify potential oral health problems from tooth decay and bite issues to gum disease and oral cancer. During the evaluation, your dentist may also discuss oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and lifestyle choices that can impact your oral health.
The comprehensive oral examination is a critical part of preventive dental care. With it, dentists can detect and resolve potential issues before they become more serious, develop complications, and require more invasive procedures.
