Most dental examinations are dental examinations. Regular checkups (preferably every six months) will help keep your teeth cleaner and more durable, and can also prevent problems such as pain.
● Thoroughly clean up
Examination almost always includes thorough cleaning, which can be done by your dentist or dental hygienist. Dental hygienists can scrape the lower part of the gum line with special tools to remove the deposited dental plaque and tartar, which can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, bad breath and other problems. Your dentist or hygienist can also polish your teeth and floss.
● Comprehensive inspection
Your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and mouth, looking for signs of illness or other problems. His or her purpose is to help you maintain good oral health and prevent the problem from getting worse by early detection and treatment.
●x-ray
Depending on your age, risk and symptoms, your dentist may recommend you to use X-rays. X-rays can diagnose other unnoticed problems, such as jaw injuries, impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts or masses and tooth decay between teeth. The equipment used in modern dental clinics has almost no radiation, that is, it will not exceed the radiation you receive when watching TV in the sun every day or weekend. As a protective measure, you should wear lead protective clothing when taking X-rays. Besides, if you are pregnant, tell your dentist that X-rays can only be used in an emergency.
