A dental exam, also known as a wellness check, is a crucial part of maintaining your oral health. Regular check-ups allow your dentist to catch potential issues early, preventing problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health conditions. At Dental Holistix, we take a comprehensive approach to your dental exam, ensuring that both your teeth and overall oral wellbeing are monitored and cared for.
During your wellness check, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and soft tissues to assess your overall oral health. Using the latest technology, we identify any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues. We may also take X-rays or digital scans for a more detailed view, ensuring that nothing is missed.
