What to Expect During a Routine Oral Exam
Routine oral exams are recommended on a yearly basis to monitor and track your oral health and catch any health concerns in the early stages. Our dentists will examine your teeth, then take digital x-rays in order to get a better look at your mouth and show you exactly what they see. Oral cancer screenings are a key component of oral exams and use a light touch to check your soft tissues. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have about your teeth or smile.
