  1. What Do Dentists Look For During Your Dental Examination?

  2. Introduction ● Healthy teeth require regular dental checkups and teeth cleaning twice a year. ● The consequences of neglecting your oral hygiene can be harmful. ● Dentists and oral hygienists can thoroughly examine your teeth and gums and remove any debris, plaque, tartar and help protect your teeth from wear and tear. Here are some of the main things dentists check when examining your oral health:

  3. Tooth Quality ● The dentist will look at how strong and sensitive your teeth and gums are. ● Your dentist may ask you about any daily habits that can worsen your teeth. ● They will remove plaque and tartar that often builds up between your teeth, this sticky film of bacteria cannot be removed by tooth-brushing alone ● If the initial examination reveals any difficulties, they will prescribe an X-ray and related procedures to fix your problem.

  4. Oral Hygiene ● Your dentist will look at all your oral hygiene status indications during the initial examination. ● Swollen gums, bleeding, tooth decay, and sores can be signs of poor oral hygiene.

  5. Gum and Jaw Issues ● A dental examination is not just about your teeth. ● Your gums and jaw also play an essential role in your oral health. ● So a dentist will check the alignment of your gums and jaws to make sure your mouth is healthy and functioning properly.
