What Is a Dental Exam?

A dental exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. It typically includes digital X-rays, a visual inspection, and an oral cancer screening. During your exam, Dr. Munguia reviews your dental history, identifies any concerns, and creates a personalized treatment plan. It’s the foundation of preventive care and a healthier smile.

Signs You May Need a Dental Exam

If any of the following sound familiar, it’s time to schedule an appointment:

  • Tooth Pain

    Lingering or sharp tooth pain may signal decay, infection, or a cracked tooth that needs attention.

  • Bleeding Gums

    Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing can be an early sign of gum disease.

  • Tooth Sensitivity

    Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods often points to enamel wear or exposed roots.

  • Bad Breath

    Persistent bad breath that won’t go away with brushing may indicate an underlying dental issue.

  • Visible Changes

    White spots, dark areas, or sores in your mouth should always be evaluated by a dentist.

  • Over a Year Since an Exam

    Skipping annual exams puts you at higher risk for problems that are harder to treat.
