Your Initial Oral Exam

Our goal is to get to know you as a patient and for you to feel comfortable with your provider. Your overall health and any dental fears are discussed so we make sure we provide the best possible care. Your first visit to Lindale Dental begins with a thorough examination of your mouth so all treatment options are considered and tailored to your needs. This includes a visual examination and oral cancer screening, gum and bone measurements, and charting existing dental treatments. Digital x-rays may be recommended to look for cavities in between teeth, diagnose impacted teeth, and to rule out a dental abscess or cyst. Intraoral cameras and digital scanners are also routinely employed to better explain decay or cracked teeth.
