A dental exam is an important part of your oral health preventive care as your dentist or hygienist cleans your teeth and check for cavities and gum disease. It can also include X-rays and other diagnostic procedures to look for any oral issues and abnormalities.

Your dental visit will include evaluating your overall health and oral hygiene, including any risk of tooth or root decay and gum or bone disease. Your dentist will look for any signs of oral cancer by looking in several areas, including inside of your lips and cheeks, sides of your tongue and the roof and floor of your mouth.
We will check your bite and jaw for any existing problems. Your Antioch dentist or hygienist will remove stains or deposits on your teeth and then show you how to properly clean your teeth or dentures. If you do have prosthetic replacements like dentures or bridges, we will examine them to see how they currently fit and whether they need adjustment.
