What does it involve?
A conversation about your reason for attending, your general medical history and any previous dental treatment, followed by a clinical examination of the teeth, gums, tongue and oral mucosa.
Where it is needed for diagnosis, the examination may be supported by imaging.
When is it recommended?
A consultation is useful both in acute situations and as a routine check.
- toothache or persistent sensitivity
- gums that bleed when you brush
- a damaged filling or prosthetic restoration
- a routine check, even without symptoms
- before starting more extensive treatment
What to expect
The examination itself is painless. At the end you receive an explanation of the findings, the treatment options and the recommended order of steps.
No treatment is started without your informed agreement.
