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.
Know the Warning Signs
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.
