Oral health isn’t just about brushing twice a day—it starts with a complete oral exam. At Shifa Dental in Plano, TX, our comprehensive oral exams help detect dental issues early, guide personalized care, and ensure your entire mouth stays healthy.
🦷 What Is an Oral Exam?
An oral exam is a detailed evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. It helps spot problems like cavities, gum disease, misalignment, or even early signs of oral cancer—before they become serious.
🩺 What Does a Comprehensive Oral Exam Include?
- Visual Check
We examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, plaque, gum inflammation, or infection. - Digital X-Rays
These help us detect hidden problems like cavities between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth. - Gum Evaluation
We measure pocket depths around teeth to check for gum disease. - Bite & Jaw Assessment
We assess alignment and function, especially if you experience jaw pain or headaches. - Oral Cancer Screening
A quick, non-invasive screening of your mouth, tongue, and throat for early cancer signs.
⏱️ How Often Should You Have an Oral Exam?
We recommend a full oral exam at least once a year and a basic checkup every 6 months during cleanings.
For patients with chronic dental issues or a history of gum disease, we may suggest more frequent visits.
