A full dental assessment is an important part of preventive dental hygiene care. During this visit, we carefully examine your oral health to identify any signs of gum disease, inflammation, or other concerns that may affect your teeth and gums.
This assessment allows us to better understand your oral health condition and recommend appropriate hygiene therapy or preventive care tailored to your needs.
Your dental hygiene assessment includes several important evaluations designed to provide a complete understanding of your oral health.
This assessment measures the depth around the teeth to evaluate the condition of the supporting bone and detect early signs of periodontal (gum) disease.
Your gums are evaluated for their texture, color, and overall condition to identify inflammation or other signs of gum health concerns.
We record important oral health indicators such as biofilm (plaque), stains, and calculus (tartar) to determine the level of buildup and hygiene care required.
An intraoral and extraoral examination is performed to check the mouth, tongue, and surrounding tissues for any unusual changes or early signs of oral cancer.
Your current oral hygiene habits are reviewed, and personalized recommendations are provided to help improve brushing, flossing, and overall oral care.
Regular dental hygiene assessments play a key role in maintaining long-term oral health. Early detection allows potential issues to be identified before they become more serious.
