The examination is the most fundamental part of a dental visit.
Initially you are required to fill in a confidential medical and dental history form.
During the examination you will be assessed both intra-orally and extra-orally. Checks include a thorough inspection of the soft tissues for abnormality (lesions, scars, abscesses etc), the teeth for cavities, cracks or wear and an assessment of gums for health and signs of gum disease.
