What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
A member of your dental team may take X-rays of your mouth to ensure your dentist has a complete picture of your oral health. Your dentist will review the images to look for anything concerning that may not be visible from the surface, like an infection. Your dentist will also visually examine your mouth, checking your teeth, gums, tongue, and other oral tissues. Dr. Glamm will also check your bite, neck, jaw, and other oral structures. She will review her findings with you and discuss if you require any additional treatment. She will create a personalized treatment plan to maintain optimal oral health.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
