Understanding Dental Exams
Routine dental examinations can help identify cavities, gum disease and other oral concerns. Your clinician may recommend additional imaging or referral if needed.
What to expect
Your care plan should be based on an in-person assessment. The following steps are common considerations, not a guarantee that every treatment is appropriate.
- Medical and dental history review
- Examination of oral tissues and teeth
- Discussion of findings and next steps
Individualized care
Ask the dental team about expected benefits, alternatives, costs, risks and follow-up before making treatment decisions.
