What Can I Expect At My Oral Exam?
Dental exams at our Grand Ledge, MI office begin with a short review of your health record and a discussion about any complaints or concerns you have about your teeth. Depending on how recently you had your last exam, we may perform a series of x-rays to give Dr. Baum a more comprehensive look at your tooth and jawbone health. He may then screen for oral cancer, check the evenness of your bite and jaws, monitor your teeth for cracks, and make sure any restorations you have are still functional. A gum exam may also be conducted to detect potential indications of periodontal disease.
