A dental exam is necessary to get good oral hygiene and is an effective way to identify problems at their initial stages.
The American Dental Association recommends checkups two times a year. Your needs for oral hygiene may differ from age and the state of your teeth and gums. Your dentist may ask you to schedule a dental checkup that is more than twice a year.
A professional dentist performs a dental checkup to guide you about any problems.
Your Dentist will use an intraoral camera during your examination and check all the surface areas in your mouth with advanced magnification and lighting. Dental Examination also includes the inspection of decayed and cracked teeth and an evaluation of the floor and roof of your mouth, gums, tongue, and mucous membrane.
Special instruments are used to clean your teeth and eliminate plaque from above and below the gumline. After cleaning your teeth, teeth polishing is done.
