Oral Exam
Maintaining a healthy oral hygiene always starts with a check-up. Regular cleanings remove bacteria build-up in your gums and teeth. It is recommended to have a check-up once in every six months to see if there are changes in your gums, mouth and teeth to avoid serious oral complications in the future.
At Great Lakes Dentistry, dental check-up typically involves an initial examination, x-ray examination, cleaning, education, and polishing. Our dentists will examine your teeth, gums and mouth to see if there are signs of dental problems or an early sign of oral cancer. A safe tool will be used to poke your teeth if there are cavities present.
