New Patient Exam
Dental Exam
A clinical exam is more commonly referred to as a routine check up. This check up lets your Glendale dentist essentially take inventory of the overall health of your mouth and teeth and diagnose any potential problems you may have.
Steps of a Typical Dental Check-up:
- The first thing your dentist will check during the exam is your face and neck. Checking visually, your dentist will look for any abnormalities, such as lumps, bumps or swelling.
- Checking the inside of your mouth is next on the agenda. During this part of the check up your dentist will be looking for any abnormalities in the soft tissue, such as discolorations or ulcers on your lips, gums, tongue, palate and cheeks. Your dentist will also perform an oral cancer screening and will check your bite and your jaw joint for any problems.
- Next, your dentist will check your gums and jawbone, as they are the foundation for your teeth. Your dentist will check them for any signs of gingivitis, gum disease and bone disease.
- Checking your teeth comes next. Your dentist will be checking them for cavities and other problems. Finally, your dentist will be sure to look specifically at any areas where you may have symptoms or concerns.

X-Rays
In most cases a Glendale AZ clinical exam by itself is not sufficient to completely diagnose all potential problems with your mouth. In fact, the majority of problems with your teeth and the jawbone are not visible to the naked eye. That is why x-rays play a key role in allowing a better, and more accurate look at what is really going on inside your mouth and below your teeth and gums. By using x-rays your dentist can check for any bone loss and determine the severity of the gum disease.
In addition to revealing any problems that were not visible during the clinical exam these initial x-rays will also provide your dentist with a benchmark with which to compare against during your future Glendale visits.
Your new patient dental exam allows your dentist to track deterioration, see what’s normal for your mouth, and when things go wrong. These observations are carried over to later examinations, whether routine cleanings, emergency care for toothaches and jaw pain, or an appointment concern cosmetic dental improvements or a smile makeover.
