Oral Exam Azle TX
We offer a thorough dental exam to check your overall oral health. This is combined with tartar removal, clean, polish and protective fluoride treatment.
Oral Exam
An oral exam is a thorough checkup of your teeth and gums done by an experienced dentist. We believe that most kids and adults should get an oral exam every six months as such exams are vital for maintaining good dental health. It allows our experienced dentist to detect any problem and treat it properly without making it severe. Our dentists are well-trained to treat people of all ages and kids too. We ensure to help you maintain clean teeth and encourage good oral health habits.
What We Do?
- Our dentist or hygienist utilizes a dental scaler to scrape off tartar above and below your gum line.
- We may utilize an ultrasonic vibrating tool for shaking loose plaque and tartar. Later, it will be rinsed off with flowing water.
- We polish your teeth using a lightly abrasive paste and wrap up with flossing.
- Our dentist will next examine your teeth and mouth to detect any severe oral condition after the dental cleaning.
- To check signs of decay, our dentist employs a metal probe, including a tiny mirror that comes with an angled handle.
- To check signs of gum diseases, we check gums for swelling, redness, and depth of the gingival pockets.
- We also find any signs of bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ issues.
Benefits of Getting Oral Exam
Any medical checkup is vital for your health as it’s the doctor’s way of reviewing your current health status. The same thing is considered with an oral exam. It helps our dentist check for any dental problems you might have for the past few years or after your last visit and take specific measures to maintain your oral health.
Regular oral exams help protect not just your dental health but also your entire body’s health. We suggest oral exams to detect signs and symptoms of some systemic diseases like mouth cancer, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes, which might show up in your mouth first. Once our dentist finds indications of such disease, they will suggest you see a doctor timely.
Also, our oral exams offer an opportunity to provide suitable tips on taking care of your teeth, gums and detect dental health issues early, which they’re most treatable.
