What is examined?
The dentist starts with your questions, recent changes and any symptoms. They then examine the teeth, old restorations, gums, deposits and, when it concerns your situation, the way your teeth meet.
A check-up can spot a change before it causes discomfort. It can also confirm that an area simply needs to be monitored.
Are X-rays systematic?
No. The dentist suggests them when they show information that the examination alone cannot reach. The type of image and its timing depend on the clinical question.
Previous images, past treatments and the level of risk are taken into account. The team explains the reason for the examination proposed.
When should you come back?
The interval is not the same for everyone. It depends in particular on your history, cavities, gums, restorations, hygiene and certain health factors.
At the end of the check-up, the dentist tells you what comes next: no treatment, monitoring, a hygiene appointment or a treatment to plan. The options are explained before the decision.
Would you like to take stock?
The appointment is there to examine your mouth and tell you what comes next.
The practice plans short videos to explain the main treatments. This one will be added once it has been filmed. [VIDEO TO BE CONFIRMED]
