What We Cover in Your Comprehensive Dental Exam
At Northshore Dental & Oral Health, your first visit is more than just a check-up. It’s a complete assessment of your oral health so we can detect issues early and plan the best care for you.
- Medical & Dental History Review
We start by understanding your overall health, medications, past dental experiences, and any concerns or goals you have. This helps us tailor your care safely and effectively.
- Full Oral Examination
Your dentist will carefully assess:
Teeth (decay, fractures, wear, old fillings)
Gums (signs of gum disease or inflammation)
Bite and jaw alignment (TMJ issues, grinding/clenching)
Soft tissues (tongue, cheeks, lips, throat)
Oral cancer screening (early detection is critical)
- Digital X-Rays (if required)
We may take low-radiation digital X-rays to see what’s happening beneath the surface, including:
Hidden decay between teeth
Infections or abscesses
Bone levels and gum health
Impacted or developing teeth
Existing dental work condition
These images are essential for accurate diagnosis and long-term monitoring.
- Gum Health (Periodontal Assessment)
We measure and assess your gums to check for:
Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
Gum recession
Bleeding or inflammation
This helps prevent tooth loss and protects your overall health.
