Oral Exams & New Patient Exams in Gravelbourgh

Our small but mighty dental team in Gravelbourgh is always thrilled to see you in our offices for your annual oral examination. Although easy to take for granted, these check-ups allow us to get a good picture of changes to your oral health and get ahead of them with preventative measures. Whether you’ve been consistent in your exams or it’s been a while, we’d be happy to help you get an up-to-date idea of your oral health.

What Happens During Oral Examinations?

The particulars of an oral examination depend on a few factors, including your age, health history, current and past oral health, and how often you visit our dental offices. Typically, we’ll ask you some questions about your health and the medications you’re taking, then take some digital x-rays and compare them to those we have on file. The dentist will let you know if we have any concerns, and, if so, what the next steps for treatment or monitoring are. Finally, we’ll give you tips, strategies, and tools you can take home to care for your specific oral health concerns.

How Often Should I Have an Oral Exam? 

Like any preventative maintenance and care, the more often you check in on your oral health, the better chance you have at getting ahead of issues. We usually recommend coming in to see our dentists at least once a year, although we may give you a different schedule if you need additional care. If you haven’t had an oral exam in some time, don’t fret! It’s never too late to book an appointment. Visit our team and you’ll see why annual check-ups don’t need to be stressful or uncomfortable.
