The short answer
A dental exam is a full evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, combined with digital X-rays that show areas not visible to the eye. During the visit, the dentist reviews your oral health and uses low-radiation, high-resolution imaging to check for cavities, infections, bone loss, impacted teeth and developmental issues. Regular exams catch problems early, often before symptoms appear, and lead to a personalized prevention plan for keeping your smile healthy.
