Oral Health Examination

An oral health examination, also known as a dental check-up or dental examination, is a routine appointment with a dentist to assess and evaluate the overall health of your mouth, teeth, and gums. During an oral health examination, our dentist Dr. Priyanka Khanna typically performs the following:

• Medical History Review: The dentist will review your medical history, including any current medications, allergies, or past dental treatments.

• Visual Examination: The dentist will visually inspect your mouth, teeth, and gums for signs of decay, cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other oral health issues.

• X-rays: X-rays may be taken to detect hidden dental problems such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth. Our dental clinic Dental Care 4U has one of the most advanced dental x-ray technologies in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi.

• Gum Health Assessment: Dr. Priyanka Khanna will examine your gums to check for signs of inflammation, gum disease, or recession.

• Professional Cleaning: In addition to the examination, Dr. Priyanka Khanna may perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth.

• Discussion and Recommendations: Based on the findings of the examination, our dentist will discuss any issues or concerns with you and provide recommendations for treatment or preventive measures to maintain or improve your oral health.

Dentist Priyanka Khanna opines that regular oral health examinations are essential for maintaining good oral health, preventing dental problems, and detecting issues early when they are easier to treat. It is generally recommended to visit the dentist for a check-up every six months, although the frequency may vary depending on individual needs and risk factors.
