Routine Oral Health Examination
A smile evaluation is a comprehensive dental examination that goes beyond checking for cavities. During your visit, the dentist carefully assesses the health of your teeth, gums, jaw, and overall oral tissues. The examination may include checking for tooth decay, gum disease, bite alignment, jaw joint (TMJ) function, and signs of oral cancer or other health conditions that may affect your oral health. Your dentist will also examine your face, neck, and mouth for any abnormalities. After the evaluation, your teeth are professionally cleaned, and you receive personalized guidance on maintaining excellent oral hygiene to keep your smile healthy and beautiful between dental visits.
