Dental Exam TemeculaDental Exam provided by Dr. Muko in Temecula, CA at The Smile Suite at Towne Square Having a dental exam involves having a dentist examine your teeth and gums. A lot of times, when a patient needs a dental exam, it will take place twice a year along with a check-up. When it comes to dental exams, it is important that we listen closely to what our dentist and dental hygienist say in regard to our teeth following the exam. As far as the role each plays, the dentist is ultimately responsible for the care of your teeth and gums. The hygienist will be performing the cleaning if it is done following the initial exam and check-up as well as educating you on the continued need for good oral care. At The Smile Suite at Towne Square, our team will conduct a thorough exam that will point out any oral issues such as gum disease, plaque, or tooth decay. Having a dental exam will also help discover dental issues early on. Why A Need For The ExamWhen you have signs of swelling in your gums, this may be caused by gingivitis. This should prompt you to make an appointment with your dentist. It is best to contact your dentist regularly if you have ongoing issues, as there may be a need for more extensive periodontal care. When a more serious dental condition exists such as periodontitis, the need for a dental exam will be even more necessary. This will be so that any current damage can be halted and not be able to spread. It is advised that an exam be conducted twice a year or more if your dentist feels it is necessary. The ProcedureThe dental exam is an easy process. It involves simple steps such as a check-up and visual inspection of the teeth, obtaining X-rays, and a cleaning.
