During a dental consultation, a dentist will typically conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, soft tissue, and TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) to determine their overall health.

Here at Easy Dental, we use the VEL scope which is a specialized tool that uses blue light to help detect any suspicious lesions (oral cancer). The dentist will check your teeth for signs of decay, fractures, gum disease, and other oral health issues. They will also look for any abnormalities in your mouth that need to be addressed. This examination may involve taking X-rays to check the hidden area of your teeth and also to determine any issues with your roots.In addition to the examination, the dentist may also ask you questions about your dental hygiene routine and any concerns you have about your teeth or gums.

This is an opportunity for you to share any issues you may be experiencing, such as sensitivity, pain, or bleeding gums. The dentist will take note of this information and use it to inform their further examination and recommendations.Based on the examination and discussion, the dentist may recommend further treatments or procedures, such as cleaning, filling, or extraction. If the dentist finds any cavities or decay, they may recommend a filling or other restorative treatment (crowns or inlay). If a tooth is severely damaged or infected, the dentist may recommend root canal treatment. Following the root canal treatment, our dentists tend to advise the patients to get a crown in order to protect the tooth and to ensure a longer life span; in the case where the tooth is beyond repair, the dentist may recommend an extraction. After the extraction, if you consider replacing the missing tooth feel free to ask the dentist about dental implants. The dentist will explain the recommended treatment options and the benefits and risks of each, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.

The dentist may also provide advice on how to improve your dental health and prevent future issues. This may include recommendations for brushing and flossing techniques, changes to your diet, and other strategies to maintain good oral health. The dentist may also recommend follow-up appointments to monitor your oral health and ensure that any recommended treatments are effective.

Overall, a dental consultation is an important opportunity to assess your oral health and identify any issues that need to be addressed. By working with your dentist to develop a treatment plan and follow their advice for maintaining good oral health, you can help to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy for years to come.
