A thorough check of your teeth and gums, with imaging to see what the eye cannot.
An oral exam is a careful check of your teeth, gums, tongue, jaw and the soft tissues of your mouth. Dental X-rays add a view of areas that cannot be seen directly, such as between teeth, below the gumline and inside the bone.
Regular exams help find cavities, gum disease, infections and other problems early, when they are simpler and less costly to treat.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist explains what they see on the X-ray and what it means for your care, in the same visit.

Most people benefit from a check-up about every six months, though your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your oral health.
Dental X-rays use a very low dose of radiation and are taken only when they are useful. A protective apron is used, and you should tell the staff if you may be pregnant.
A routine exam is usually painless. Tell the dentist if any area is tender.
X-rays can reveal cavities between teeth, bone loss from gum disease, infections at the root and teeth that have not yet come through.
