The Process
Of A Oral Exam
We start your oral exam by visually inspecting the inside of your mouth then examine your neck area for inflammation. Inflammation can indicate health problems such as oral cancer. We ask you a series of thorough questions regarding your medical history, as this is a key factor in assessing your oral health. At Franklin Dental Centre, it is important that you are your healthiest so our detailed questions are here for your safety. These questions will be more in-depth the first time you come in to see us because we are getting to know you as a patient.
Depending on the analysis we do, we may require you to get dental x-rays. The images we gather in the x-rays help us see if you have fractures, decay under the gum line, cavities under existing fillings, impacted wisdom teeth or bone loss caused by gum disease.
We check your tongue, palate and the floor of your mouth ensuring you are void of bleeding and inflammation.
